A rising edge on the Reset jack will make Sequencer 1 reset the step index back to the first step
of the pattern (where the first step is determined by the pattern’s cycle mode). The index
changes in sync with the incoming clock signal; that is, the pattern will jump to the first step
upon receiving a rising edge at the Clock jack after receiving a rising edge on the Reset jack.
The Run jack makes Sequencer 1 play or stop. A positive input voltage makes it play, zero volts
or less makes it stop. Note that the Run jack is not what makes Sequencer 1 play the next step-
-that’s the job of the Clock jack.
10. Control-Voltage Inputs
Sequencer 1 has two input jacks, labeled and , which accept control voltages. They
expect voltages in the range of -5V to +5V, although in most instances negative voltages are
ignored. Each CV input can be independently assigned to one of several functions. These
assignments are made globally, that is, they apply to all patterns. The available functions for CV
control are as follows:
(Nothing)
If you’re a Nihilist, this is the assignment for you. The control
voltage has no effect. This setting can be handy if you need to
temporarily disable the control voltage input and you’ve already got a bunch of patch cords
connected at only one end dangling from your modular.
Gate Length
The control voltage changes how long the gate output stays on, relative to its per-step setting.
Positive voltages increase its length, up to a maximum of twice its programmed length. Negative
voltages decrease the gate length, down to a minimum of one-fourth its programmed length.
Step Position
The control voltage sets the current step position, overriding the behavior set by the pattern’s
Stepping Mode. A positive voltage sets the step position relative to the length of the pattern and
proportional to the voltage level. In other words, zero volts sets the position to the first step, a
maximum voltage of +5V sets the position to the last step in the pattern, and any other voltage
will select a step somewhere in between. Negative voltages are ignored. The step position is
updated in time with the clock (either internal or external).
Stepping Mode
The control voltage sets the Stepping Mode, overriding the pattern’s Stepping Mode setting. A
positive voltage is linearly mapped to one of the many stepping modes. 0V chooses the first
mode, +5V chooses the last mode, a small voltage chooses the second mode, etc. Negative
voltages are ignored.
