Hello, thanks for purchasing the AtomoSynth Mochika X5 analog synthesizer and sequencer. This is a
quick start guide of the sequencer section.
Let's create, save and load a basic sequence.
Basic operation: create save and load a pattern.
A. Create a pattern.
1. When you turn on the unit it starts an empty init pattern.
2. Push the STEPS encoder (encoder 1), and the display will show "Step On/Off".
3. Now you can turn on individual steps by moving each encoder clockwise, and turn them off by
moving each encoder counter-clockwise, the corresponding LED will light or go dark
accordingly.
4. To access steps 1 to 8, push the 1-8 button, and to access steps 9 to 16 push the 9-16 button.
5. To play the pattern push the PLAY/STOP button and you can listen to the sequence.
6. To see the steps pitches, push the PITCH encoder (encoder 2), and the display will show
"Pitch/CV1".
7. Now if you turn each encoder just one detent, the display will show the step number and the
actual pitch for that step without changing it.
8. To change the pitch of each step, move the corresponding encoder more than one detent, and
the display will show the change in pitch value for that step, and the change will remain.
9. Now push the PLAY/STOP button and you will listen to the sequence with the pitches you just
programmed.
B. Save a pattern.
1. To save a pattern, push the OK/Settings button, and the display will show "Settings".
2. Move the SAVE encoder (encoder 6) and the display will show you the pattern number in which
your sequence will be saved, choose the pattern number you want and then push the
OK/Settings button to confirm.
3. To cancel a Save operation, before you push OK to confirm, just push any other button, for
example, the STEPS encoder.
C. Load a pattern.
1. To see which pattern is loaded, push the OK/Settings button, and move the PATTERN encoder
(encoder 7) just one detent and the display will show you the pattern that is loaded without
changing it.
2. To load a saved pattern, push the OK/Settings button, and move the PATTERN encoder
(encoder 7) more than one detent, the display will show pattern numbers, set the desired
