  • Page 1 Vector Sequencer...
  • Page 2: Getting Started

    The 16-pin power connector is on the lower- right of the circuit Five12 warrants the Vector Sequencer to be free of defects in assembly or board and is labelled 'Power'. Connect a 16 pin Eurorack power cable if materials for one year from the date of purchase by the owner.
  • Page 3 Front Panel Tour USB A : ‘To Device’ Run, Clock, Reset Mod CV In CV and MIDI Outputs Use a MIDI Keyboard for programming Sync In or Out, Triggers In or Out, 0-5V, set mapping in Flexible output assignments, sequences, or use to send MIDI setup in Globals.
  • Page 4 Sequence Editing Pitch Gate Velocity Len/Rpt Ratchet For your first sequence, connect the Pitch1 and Gate1 outputs of the through all dyads to an octave, then triads and seventh chords. To set a Vector to other modules in your system, such as an oscillator for pitch part to chord mode, see Parts on page 11.
  • Page 5 Sequence Controls Control The Sequence Control pages have overall settings for the sequence, Oct & Trans: Add a fixed octave or semitone transposition to all notes. such as sequence length and rate. There are three sub-pages here, press Sequence Controls: Page 2 Control to cycle between them.
  • Page 6 PARTS: See Parts on page 11 for more on these settings. MIDI, USB: Each MIDI Output (USB A, USB B, MIDI-1, MIDI-2 and ROUTING: For each of the outputs on the Vector Sequencer you can Expander MIDI Ports) has 8 ‘slots’ to output up to all 8 parts. Shift &...
  • Page 7 Recording On the Rec page, you can enter or modify sequences using the built-in The recording modes are: one octave keyboard, any USB MIDI Class-compliant host or device, or, OFF: No recording activity. if you have the Jack Expander module attached, a MIDI keyboard connected via a traditional 5-pin MIDI cable.
  • Page 8 Chance Ops Chance Chance operations allow you to add variability to a pattern, such as Skip a Step, Un-Skip a Step randomly skipping or muting a step, jumping to another step, or changing the pitch. For each step in a sequence, you can pick an operation and the probability that it will happen.
  • Page 9 Sequence Ops, Generate & Evolve Shift Sequence Operations ACD1: Acid 1: Generates a 16 step sequence at 1/16th notes with a variety of pitch tones, including minor seconds and tritones. Gates and A variety of sequence transformations can be triggered by holding down Velocity steps are set to %50, and then a few accents (Velocity @ 100%) the Shift key and pushing any of the white keys on the mini keyboard.
  • Page 10 Sub Sequencers Modulation In addition to the main sequence, each part on the Vector Sequencer value of that parameter. has two simpler CV-only sub-sequencers for internal modulation. These sequencers are limited to a maximum length of 8 steps and a range of speeds based on standard musical divisions.
  • Page 11 CV Modulation Modulation The Vector Sequencer has two CV inputs (Mod1 and Mod2) that can Modulation Targets: be used to control a variety of parameters such as gate time, velocity GATE: Gate time. scaling or the probability for chance operations. The input voltage range GRV: Groove amount.
  • Page 12 PARTS The Vector sequencer has 8 parts, each of which has a monophonic or chord based note sequencer and two sub-sequencers for modulation. All of the sequencers for all parts start and stop with the Run button (or external sync), and they all share a common tempo, but are otherwise independent.
  • Page 13 Shift+Part to save it. About SD Cards Your Vector sequencer comes with a high quality SD card that has been tested to work both speedily and reliably. Only SD cards from SanDisk and Transcend are recommended.
  • Page 14 Presets, Playlists & Scenes Preset/Scene Preset/Scene The playlist is simple in concept, but very flexible. Each preset can: PRESETS • Play forever (by default). • Play for X beats/bars then go to a later preset. • Play for X beats/bars then go to an earlier preset and repeat Y times. Each part on the Vector supports up to 20 presets, depending on the Use encoders 4-8 to edit the playlist settings for a preset.
  • Page 15 External Sync Global In addition to its internal clock, you can synchronize the Vector to DIN MIDI Beat Clock: Sync, MIDI Beat Clock, or an external clock pulse. If the clock source in 1. Connect a MIDI Beat Clock source to the Vector via the USB A or B your modular can generate a run/stop CV and clock ticks at 24PPQN jacks on the front panel, or use the 5-pin MIDI Input connector on the Jack (parts per quarter note), you can use the Run &...
