SEQUENCE GENERATION FUNCTIONS
MODE
There are 10 possible direction modes for the sequencer. These determine how the sequencer ad-
vances between stages.
FRD - FORWARD MODE
The sequencer advances to each new stage in the forward direction starting at stage 1. The last
stage is set in the STAGES menu.
REV - REVERSE MODE
The sequencer advances to each new stage in the reverse direction starting at the stage of the se-
quence which is set in the STAGES menu.
PNG - PING-PONG MODE
The sequence advances first in the forward direction starting at stage 1 and end ending at the last
stage (set in the STAGES menu) and then switches direction to advance in reverse until it reaches
stage 1 again.
RND - RANDOM MODE
The sequencer advances to each new stage in a random order. The STAGES menu sets the total
number of stages to be included in the random choices. e.g. if STAGES = 4 then only the first four
stages of the sequence can be randomly chosen.
BRN - BROWNIAN MODE
This is a pseudo random mode also sometimes referred to as “Drunken walk”. Starting at stage 1
There is a %50 chance of moving forward, %25 chance of staying on the same stage and a %25
chance of going backwards by one stage. The net result is that the sequence generally trends in the
forward direction. The STAGES menu sets the total number of stages included in the pseudo random-
ization.
FRD-F - FIXED FORWARD MODE
Same as FRD mode except that the total length of the sequence is determined by the total pulse
count set in the STAGES menu.
REV-F - FIXED REVERSE MODE
Same as REV mode except that the total length of the sequence is determined by the total pulse
count set in the STAGES menu.
PNG-F - FIXED PING-PONG MODE
Same as PNG mode except that the total length of the sequence is determined by the total pulse
count set in the STAGES menu.
RND-F - FIXED RANDOM MODE
Same as RND mode except that the total length of the sequence is determined by the total pulse
count set in the STAGES menu.
