Changes the number of ratchets for all stages of the destination
track(s). Specifically, at 0V, each stage uses its corresponding ratchet
count (as set by the RATCH button). Positive voltages uniformly
increase the number of ratchets played by each stage (up to a
maximum total of 8 ratchets). Negative voltages uniformly decrease the
number of ratchets played by each stage, down to minimum of 1 (no)
ratchets.
The sequencer playing on the track to which the AUX In or MOD Lane
is assigned will reset when a trigger voltage is received.
Positive voltages increase the root note of the current scale on the
destination track(s), while negative voltages decrease the root note.
Root tracks 1V/octave, but only the pitch name (not its octave) is
considered. So, for example, both 0V and 1V will result in no shifting of
the root note, while 0.083V and 1.083V will both create a root note shift
of one semitone.
Select different User Scales from within whichever User Scale bank
contains the locked scale. Positive voltages increment the Scale
number, while negative voltages decrement it. Scale selection changes
every ±1V, and the scales wrap when either end of the 10-scale bank is
reached. For more information, see
When the gate is high, the SKIP state of each stage inverts, such that
any previously skipped stages are played, and any previously played
stages are skipped. When the gate is low, normal (uninverted) SKIP
playback occurs. Inverting Skip is a convenient way to set up and
trigger split sequences. Note that any time the Skip inverts, the
sequence resets — meaning the first stage remains predictable.
When the gate is high, the Slide function is enabled for all Stages on the
destination track(s), regardless of whether the individual SLIDE stage
buttons are turned on. When the gate is low, only those Stages that
have their SLIDE buttons turned on will slide.
Changes the Slide time applied to the destination track(s). Specifically,
at 0V, slid Stages use the value set with the SLIDE TIME button.
Positive voltages increase the Slide Time, up to the 100 maximum.
Negative voltages decrease the Slide Time, down to 0.
The programmed PITCH SLIDER orientation direction is inverted when
the gate is high; and restored when the gate is low.
Changes the octave range of the PITCH SLIDERS. Specifically, at 0V,
the PITCH SLIDERS cover the octave range set by the Slider Octaves
setting in the TRACK MENU. Positive voltages increase the octave
range, up to a maximum of 4 octaves. Negative voltages decrease the
octave range, down to a minimum of 1 octave.
