Page 6: Introduction
It is available in different Eurorack form factors (1U and 3U) and despite being compact has many powerful features. 6equencer is optimized for live performance and allows quick programming and editing of drum patterns. Both analogue clock and triggers as well as midi input and output are supported. - Page 7 More features are accessible via a config menu. You can define midi channels, pulse lengths, clock mode and more. This manual contains a detailed description of all features, followed by a short ‘cheat sheet’.

Page 8: 6Equencer User Interface
6equencer user interface The 6equencer user interface features 16 buttons with LEDs and a FUNC button. Each LED can be red, blue or purple. Typically a blue LED will indicate a mode or setting, while a red LED will indicate an active step or parameter. When both, red and blue LEDs are turned on, the resulting color will be purple. -
Page 9: Inputs, Outputs And Clock
Inputs, outputs and clock 6equencer has 8 instrument outputs, a clock and midi input and a reset (RES) or run-stop (RS) input or midi output. The instrument outputs gates or trigger with specific lengths depending on the settings in the config menu (see Config Menu). -
Page 10: Pattern View
Pattern view After power on, 6equencer defaults to pattern view. This is indicated by the led lit up in blue. Pattern view can be used to program patterns and most live performance tools are also available here. Active steps are shown by the red being on. -
Page 11: Defining The Length Of A Pattern
You can also switch to another pattern (see Song View) and paste the steps there. This can also be used as a performance tool: Copy an instrument, modify it and later paste the original steps back in place. Tubbutec 6equencer user manual – page 11... -
Page 12: Editing And Performance Features In Pattern View
Ping-Pong mode can be accessed by pressing FUNC + P/P (long-press). The P/P led will blink in blue to show Ping- Pong mode and light up to show Forward mode. Tubbutec 6equencer user manual – page 12... -
Page 13: Recording Steps Live (Tap)
If several patterns are connected as a song, recording can be performed over several patterns. You can also send an instruments midi notes to 6equencer when in TAP mode and they will be recorded the same way. To exit TAP mode, press FUNC again. -
Page 14: Clear Steps
The other eight, non-instrument buttons control the probability (see Probability control). To exit MUTE mode, press FUNC . Mute acts on all patterns globally and is not saved. Tubbutec 6equencer user manual – page 14... -

0.75 (75%) 0.50 (50%) 0.25 (25%) Where X means a step is set Probability acts on the LT and HT outputs as well. The probability settings are saved when saving via SAVE (long-press). Tubbutec 6equencer user manual – page 15... -
Page 16: Song View
To instantly change the currently playing pattern, press the pattern’s button in song mode and release the button again. The pattern will change instantly while staying in sync. This will replace any playing song with a song containing one pattern. Tubbutec 6equencer user manual – page 16... -

Page 19: Copy And Paste Patterns
Similar to the play directions in pattern mode, you can also change the play direction of a song. The song can play forward, backward ping-pong or randomly, while the pattern play direction is completely independent and not changed. Tubbutec 6equencer user manual – page 19... -
Page 20: Saving Patterns And Song
This can simply be achieved by sending Note-On and Note- Off messages for the instruments (see chapter Midi). If the Pulse Length setting is set to “Gate”, 6equencer will react to both Note-On and Note-Off messages, with the gate staying open from Note-On and closing at Note-Off. -
Page 21: Output Modes And Pulse Lengths
Output modes and pulse lengths 6equencer can output pulses with various lengths, or “gates”, depending on the settings in the config menu. Fixed pulse lengths from 1ms (default) to 100ms are provided as well as the “clock width” mode, which turns on an output for the duration the incoming clock is high. -
Page 22: Linking Multiple 6Equencers
6equencer automatically detects both if it is linked, and also how many 6sequencers are linked Connect LINK OUT of the first 6equencer to LINK IN of the second. Connect LINK OUT of the second 6equencer to LINK IN of the third and so on. -
Page 23: Parallel Mode
Other uses of the LINK interface The link interface outputs instrument triggers to both LINK IN and LINK OUT. Compatible devices, such as the 6m0d6 drum module can make use of this. Tubbutec 6equencer user manual – page 23... -

Page 27: Midi
Midi Midi TRS connectors 6equencer uses TRS midi connectors Type A (the MIDI 2.0 Standard). Adapters to DIN-Midi are available and use the following connections: Ring Sleeve Midi In 6equencer accepts midi CLOCK, NOTE ON and CC messages if “Clock Mode” is set to Midi I/O. Otherwise the connector is used as clock input and Midi reception is disabled. -
Page 28: Midi Clock
The midi input channel can be set in the config menu and is 10 by default. Midi Clock 6equencer can be synced via midi clock if configured accordingly. A clock divider for the midi clock can be set in the config menu or via midi CC as shown below. By default 6equencer clocks at 1/16th. -
