No matter if you have a small modular system or a studio filled with vintage synths, the Komplex Sequencer is compatible with almost all synthesizers that accept CV/Gate or MIDI. Open up a whole new world of playability and creativity, starting where all other sequencers stop.
3. CONNECT Plug the CV OUT of the Komplex to a CV Input (like V/oct, pitch or FM) of your synthesizer and the GATE OUT to the GATE or TRIG- GER IN. Connect an external clock to the CLOCK IN of the Komplex if you are using another device as the master clock.
FACTORY RESET REP + MODE (Press during start-up) Press these two buttons to factory reset the Komplex. Advanced Techniques Level Meter: When you press SSP section control button and set the SSP of a sequencer to step 1, you can use its SSP CV input as a 0 - 5V level meter.

SEQUENCER SETTINGS QUANTIZER Scales the analog CV output to V/oct, selectable in chromatic, major and minor sca- les. Use the on/off buttons to switch the quantizer on or off per sequencer. OUTPUT RANGE Sets the voltage range of the analog CV Output, choose between 2, 5 and 9 volts. Also affects the octave range for sequencers that output MIDI Notes.

MODE MENU On the left page you find sequencer settings. On the right page you find MIDI settings. Skip Step Behavior 1. Skip Mode: Deactivated steps are skipped altogether as if they wouldn’t exist. 2. Hold Mode: Deactivated steps are skipped, but for the period of the skipped step, the previous step’s value is held.
