Step Fader - manual & build guide

In order to make the sequencer run a clock signal must be plugged into the CLOCK input, the square out of an LFO or VCO could also be used here. The CLOCK-2 input.

The RESET inputs will make the sequence jump to the first step except in pendulum mode, that will reverse the play direction. Reset 1 & 2 aren't normalled.

There are also momentary toggle switches to manually reset (left) or jump to next step (right) for each sequencer.

MODE 1 & 2 buttons and trigger ins will cycle the PLAY MODES of each sequencer. Both buttons or triggers simultaneously will cycle the GLOBAL STYLES.

Every step has an ON/OFF/ON switch to activate one of the gate outs ,center position is no gate. Each row has 2 gate outs.

There is also one fader per step to set the CV out, those values are dimmed by the master faders. Each row has 1 CV out (0 to 8v range)

Apart of the CV and GATE outs of each sequencer there are summing CV and GATE outputs. Keep in mind that individual CV outs have a maximum of 8v and CV1+2 has 10,5v max. .

MODE-2 input can be set as INVERT CV 1+2 output with the JP3 jumpers on the back of the module.

The CV control over step repetition of the first sequencer can switched between the CV-IN & CV-2, which are the dedicated input and the CV of the second sequencer (pre-fader) respectively .

There are 2 Slew limiter circuits, with time pot, IN and OUT, so you can use them independently. Those are not high precision slew limiter, but precise enough to process v/oct and bring some portamento to your melodies.

The length of the second sequencer is controlled by the rotary switch. This reset signal can be routed to the first sequencer (with the switch X1/X2) getting as result interesting interactions.
