because the binary pattern you feed into the sockets is mixed/added to the internal binary
control signal. Resetting to step one clears the internal binary signal to 0000.
Connect a MIDI keyboard to Oberkorn, and the MIDI channels up correctly.
Next, using four patch leads, connect the four binary outputs b0/1/2/3 in the ‘midi’ box on the
front panel to the four binary input sockets b0/1/2/3 in the ‘sequencer control box.
Now starting with note C, press this MIDI key then the next 15. You should see the step
number of the sequencer change as you go up.
You can see from this that you can control, via MIDI notes, which step Oberkorn is on.
MAKE OBERKORN STEP IN ANY ORDER!
You could therefore use a MIDI sequencer to write any combination of these 16 notes to
make Oberkorn step in any order you wish and in any direction. Forward, backwards,
pendulum, even steps only, first eight steps only, etc. Any way you wish!
Note: using this method will note create ‘normal’ gate outputs. I’ll explain more later. But you
can create ‘normal’ gates using the MIDI-Trig unit (sockets T1-5).
CHANGING THE MIDI RECEIVE CHANNEL
To change the MIDI channel, first connect a MIDI keyboard to Oberkorn.
Set the transmit channel on the keyboard to the channel you want to use.
Press and hold the MIDI Program button PROG. Whilst holding this down press a key on
your MIDI keyboard. Release the PROG button.
Oberkorn will set to receive on the same channel as the keyboard. The channel number is
stored in non-volatile memory.
Default is (usually) channel one.
SEQUENCE CONTROL
In the front panel box labeled ‘sequence control’ you will find the controls and sockets that
control the sequencer’s stepping/running.
TEMPO control
This control sets the speed of the internal clock.
