8.6 Odd-numbered sequence-lengths (STEP and TRIM) for all track-types
SEQ12 not only allows a selectable sequence-length of 1 to 16 steps, it is also possible to create
longer sequences (up to 64 steps) that always run in sync with all other sequences. This is done
by the TRIM function in interaction with the parameter STEP.
STEP
Find the functions
see page 18) .
STEP
adjusts the length of the sequence (step number 1 to 16).
TRIM
defines the number of steps that actually will be played for the sequence. The maximum value is
64. Now, how does this work?
With TRIM = 0, the sequence is simply played in its given lenght, defined by the
STEP parameter.

With
, the sequence will only play the number of steps as being defined by TRIM and
TRIM ≤ STEP
restarts from the beginning. With TRIM being set to 5, steps 1 to 5 are being played as a loop.

With TRIM ≥ STEP, the sequence will be repeated if applicable before jumping back to the first
step. With TRIM being set to e.g. 36, steps 1 to 16 will be repeated twice plus the following steps
STEP = 16
1 to 4 (16 + 16 + 4 = 36). After that, the full sequence will restart from step 1.
