Ext

(short for External) - On the other hand, if you want the sequencer to play in time with

some other sequencer, or you want to do something exotic like controlling the sequencer’s
tempo with an LFO, use this setting.

This option determines whether pattern changes happen at the ends of patterns or between
steps. It applies to pattern changes either in response to you pressing the Bank and Step
buttons or in response to a CV input.

By patt

– the sequencer waits until it reaches the end of the current pattern before

switching to the new pattern.

By step

– the sequencer changes patterns before playing the next step (but does not

interrupt the current step).

Both modes have their uses. Switching by pattern means that you won’t interrupt the current
pattern, and hence this mode might be considered less risky for live performances.

12.2. Gate/Accent Output Modes, Pitch Output Scale

Mostly for compatibility with older analog synthesizers, the Gate
and Accent output jacks can each operate in one of three
different modes, as follows:

Norm

(short for Normal) - the output is usually zero, and rises to +5V when the output turns on.

Use this setting for most Eurorack modules such as envelope generators and VCAs.

Inv

(short for Inverted) – the output is inverted, that is, usually +5V and falls to zero when the

output turns on. This mode is useful for many older Korg and Yamaha synthesizers, and also
works with the contemporary Korg MS-20 Mini.

STrg

(short for S-Trig, which is short for Shorting Trigger) – the output has a high-impedance,

open-circuit output which is shorted to ground when the output turns on. This mode may be
useful with some older Moog synthesizers and modules.

The Pitch CV output can operate in one of two different pitch-control scaling conventions,
labeled

Scale

in the LCD. They are:

V/oct

– This mode is used by most Eurorack oscillators and analog synthesizers, new and

old. One volt raises the pitch by one octave.

Hz/V

– This mode is used by some Korg and Yamaha synthesizers. Doubling the voltage

raises the pitch by one octave.
