TRIGGER

(Continued)

If the

button is Off (unlit), the

TRIGGER

button behaves as a gate, and the envelopes are held to

their maximum levels (based on their current settings) as long as the

TRIGGER

button is held down.

When the

TRIGGER

button is released, the Decay phase of the EGs will begin, allowing an extra degree

of control over the EG. If the

button is in the Held position (blinking), then the EGs are already being

held to their maximum levels, and the

TRIGGER

button will have no effect.

NOTE:

This button is also linked to the output of the rhythm generators and the trigger inputs. The combined

signal is sent to the

TRIGGER

output jack.

RESET

Pressing the

RESET

button will instantly reset the sequencers to Step 1, and

will reset the rhythm generators to their initial phase or starting point. If the

PLAY

button is lit when the

RESET

button is pressed, the sequencers

will begin again on the next clock pulse. If the

PLAY

button was unlit when

the

RESET

button was pressed, the sequencers will not restart until the

PLAY

button is pressed again.

Holding the

RESET

button down will act as a Hold function. The sequencers

will reset to Step 1, but will not advance to the next step. However, the EGs will continue to be triggered
by the rhythm generators assigned to that sequencer. Pressing the

NEXT

button while the

RESET

button is being held down will advance the sequencer(s) to the next step, where the EGs will continue
to be triggered by the rhythm generators assigned to the sequencer(s). Normal playback will resume
when the

RESET

button has been released.

NOTE:

This button is combined with the

RESET

input jack.

TIP:

Using the

RESET

button is a handy way to bring everything (sequencers, rhythm generators, EGs, etc.) back

to a single starting point during performance in order to begin a second verse, move to the chorus, start a new
section, or even create a stuttered one-count, etc.

NEXT

Pressing the

NEXT

button will immediately advance to the next step of the

sequencer(s).

NOTE:

Pressing the

NEXT

button will not cause the VCF EG or the VCA EG to re-trigger,

except as defined when holding down the

RESET

button (above), or if a gate signal is

being received at the

RESET

input jack.

The

(Envelope Generator) button has three settings; Off (button is unlit), On

(button is lit), and Held (button blinks). Quickly press the

button to toggle

between the On and Off settings. Hold the

button until it begins to blink to

select the Held setting.

OFF:

This setting prevents the individual sequencer steps from triggering the

EGs. The

TRIGGER

button and external trigger pulses continue to trigger the

EGs, and are passed to the

TRIGGER

output jack.

ON:

This setting allows the individual sequencer steps to trigger the EGs. All of the manual triggers,

external triggers, and triggers created by the sequencers are passed to the

TRIGGER

output jack.
