Action Mode

Hold the Mode Button down while pressing or turning Knob 1 or Knob 2 to perform special actions.
Action Mode is available from Algorithmic, Step Edit, or Pattern Play mode, but not when the module is
in Configuration or Copy mode.
Set Sequence Length
Hold Mode & Turn Knob 1 to set the length of the sequence for the current output. Any length from
one to eight steps can be selected. The Sequence LEDs indicate the current sequence length.
Each output can have a different sequence length. Once the sequence length is set, that will be its
length for every pattern. For example, if output 1 has a sequence length of 6 steps, then its length will
be 6 steps for pattern 1, and 6 steps for pattern 2, and 3, and so on. Until you change the sequence
length for an output, the length will remain the same for the output in every pattern.
Randomize Sequence
Hold Mode & Press Knob 1 Once to lightly randomize the current sequence. It takes the current
sequence and mixes it up just a little. Some of the steps may change from on to off, or from off to on.
There is a 1 in 8 (12.5%) chance that any given step will change. There is even a chance that none of the
steps will change. This function can also be called low or weighted randomization.
Hold Mode & Press Knob 1 Twice to generate a completely new random sequence. The current
sequence does not affect the new sequence at all.
If the current output is configured as randomized or voltage controlled (in Configuration mode), then
pressing Knob 1 once in Action mode will freeze the sequence where it is. To make the output
randomized or voltage controlled again, go to Configuration mode. The freeze feature is useful when the
random or voltage controlled sequence is pleasing, and you want to keep it.
Select Pattern
Hold Mode & Turn Knob 2 to select the pattern to edit. This changes the whole pattern (set of eight
outputs) being edited, not just the current output within a pattern. The current pattern is indicated by a
blinking Output LED which moves as Knob 2 is turned. The current output is indicated by a steadily
illuminated Output LED, as it always is in Algorithmic and Step Edit mode. If there is only one LED
illuminated, then the pattern number and output number are the same.
Clear
Hold Mode & Press Knob 2 Once to clear the sequence for the current output. All of the steps for the
current output being edited will be turned off.
Hold Mode & Press Knob 2 Twice to clear the entire pattern. All of the steps for all eight outputs will be
turned off. There is no way to clear all eight patterns at once. To clear all patterns, turn Knob 2 to select
a pattern, press Knob 2 twice to clear that pattern, and repeat eight times.
