ANALOG 8-STEP SEQUENCER (Continued)
TEMPO
The TEMPO knob sets the Sequencer playback speed, which is continuously
variable from .7Hz to 700Hz. Assuming each step represents a 16th note, the
Tempo can be set from roughly 10 BPM to about 10,000 BPM.
TIP: Try patching from the PITCH CV or VELOCITY CV output, into the TEMPO
CV input. The Sequencer PITCH 1-8 or Sequencer VELOCITY 1-8 knobs will now
determine the length of each step in the sequence. Be patient, this one can be
tricky! (See preset Swing Time on page 36.)
ADVANCE
With Sequencer playback stopped, pressing the ADVANCE button will
manually cycle to the next step of the Sequence without triggering each
note it passes.
NOTE: An external clock source can be connected to the ADV/CLOCK input on
the DFAM patchbay. This input can also be used to advance the Sequencer to
the next step, allowing for different timings and rhythmic patterns to be created
using an external clock source like the Mother-32.
TRIGGER
With Sequencer playback stopped, pressing the TRIGGER button will Trigger
the current Sequencer Step (indicated by the LED) without advancing to the
next step. This makes it simple to fine-tune settings for a specific step by
playing it as many times as needed while adjustments are made.
