● Brownian
Generative: The sequence advances through stages in a pseudo-random pattern known as a
"drunken walk." It has a 50% chance of moving forward, a 25% chance of staying on the same
stage, and a 25% chance of moving backward. This results in a sequence that generally trends
forward with some repetition (or backward if played in reverse).
Because every stage is pseudo-randomly selected, sequences do not cycle and do not
automatically reset.
● Shuffle
Generative: The playback order of the stages is randomized, and once all the stages (or pulses)
have played, then each subsequent pass through the sequence plays in that same order.
Resetting the sequence (either by pressing the RESET button; sending a trigger to the RESET
jack; or reaching the PULSES count set on the LEN screen) retriggers the shuffle — creating a
new repeating order of playback. So, too, does changing the setting a new STAGES length on
the LEN screen.
Note that Shuffle (which is like shuffling the order of a fixed number of cards in a deck) is
different from Random (which is like a dice-roll, where the odds of the next number do not
depend on previous numbers).
● Quasi Random
Similar to "Random" (described below), except that the same stage will not play twice in a row if
the LENGTH contains more than two stages. Because every stage is quasi-randomly selected,
sequences do not cycle and do not automatically reset.
