To program a sequence:
1. Press S
2. Select the sequence you want to program by pressing the appropriate
switch, 1-4.
3. Select the destination for that sequence using the Destination knob. For
example, to generate a sequence of notes, select OscAllFreq.
Note: When a sequence is routed to oscillator frequency, each knob increment
equals half of a semitone. The LCD display will show the relative note value, with
a "+" after it to show when at a half-semitone step.
4. Press the Reset switch to reset the sequence to Step 1.
5. Turn the Step 1 knob to the desired value. If the sequencer is stopped, each
time you turn a Step knob, the envelopes are triggered, allowing you to hear
the notes (or other modulation) generated by the step value.
6. Repeat for each subsequent step in the sequence.
7. Press the S
8. Press the S

When transposed up one octave, the high D is the highest note available in the
sequencer range. Any keys hit above the high D will insert a Rest if Sequence 1 is
being recorded, and the high C key will insert a Reset.
When recording from the keyboard, you cannot reach the half semitone step values.
Note that you can program values into sequences using the keyboard even if a
sequence is going to a destination other than oscillator pitch; this makes for quick
programming.
Some Trigger modes will automatically start the sequencer for gated sequence
operation.
Note: You can chain sequences together. While a sequence is playing, hold S
