Clock Divide: see table – Provides a wider range of sequencer speeds. When “Prog
Tempo” is set to On in the Global Parameters menu, changing this parameter also
changes the master Clock Divide, and vice-versa. When Off, changing this parameter
has no effect.

Destination: see table – Selects a modulation destination for the currently selected
Sequence. See the Modulation Destination table on page 33 for a list of possible
destinations.
Note: See “Trigger Select” in Misc Parameters for additional sequencer-specific
settings.
Programming a Sequence
Each of the 16 steps in the sequence has its own knob in Seq Edit mode, which can
be set to a value from 0-100. Turning a Step knob past 100 sets the step to “Reset.”
Reset is useful for creating a sequence of fewer than 16 steps. For example, if you
want to create a four step sequence, set step 5 to Reset.
In addition, in Sequence 1 you can program rests by setting a step value to “Rest",
just past Reset. On that step, no trigger is sent to the envelopes. Since Sequence 1
controls rests for Sequences 2-4 as well, the rests will end up in different places on
other sequences if they are a different length.
If you want all sequences to be the same length, make sure that the reset step is the
same for all four sequences. If however, each sequence is a different length, the rests
and clock swing settings will follow sequence 1. In other words, the envelopes are
always triggered from one sequence and can’t be separately handled by each of the 4
sequences.
Using rests, resets, and different Clock Divides (half swing, swing, and so on) you can
generate very complex sequences.
