Moog Mother 32 - Sequencer shortcuts

The Moog M32 has a neat sequencer. It's a bit cryptic to initially understand the sequencer controls.
Here are some basic shortcuts.

1. Modes of operation
    There are 2 modes of operation: Keyboard & Step
    Use the Shift + KB to enter Keyboard mode
    Use the Shift + Step to enter step mode

2. Memory
       There are 64slots (8 banks containing 8 slots/patterns)
       Each slot can save a pattern of up to 32 steps.
     

   Use shift + Pattern/(Bank) and the (KB)/ (STEP) arrow keys to navigate.

You can also use the keyboard to pick your banks & slots

3. Clearing memory prior to entering notes

    To erase and initialise a  sequence.
     Shift +  reset/accent + Pattern(Bank)

 There will now be a default single note pattern in the slot you have chosen.

4. First recordings:
    To record your sequence:
    a. enter KB mode ( Shift + KB)
     b. press (Shift) +  (Rec)
         The tempo LED which is normally a flashing red, will change to solid yellow.

    c. enter your steps.
        You can change octaves with the (KB)/ (STEP) arrow keys

5. Editing the sequence
       
    You can edit individual steps either while you are entering the notes, or after.
     You can do this either while paused on a note, OR
      by pressing shift & the note (you wish to edit).

   a. Rests
   To enter rests, just press the REST button instead of a note. (indicated with LED 8)
        

    or if you are changing a existing sequence,
     Press shift & the note (you wish to edit). The lamp under the step you are editing will blink.
     Then press the rest button.

      There are 4 other parameters you can edit per step:

       b. Gate length
           To edit the gate length of an existing note,
           Press shift & the note (you wish to edit). The lamp under the step you are editing will blink.
           Use the Gate length knob to change gate length..
           As you sweep the knob, the octave lamps with change to show the gate value.

             There are 8 gate length increments.
              1 = shortest length ( 1/8) the step length
              8 = Longest = a Tie
              The sustain switch must be engaged to hear gate length changes.
   
      c. Glide
           Press shift & the note (you wish to edit). The lamp under the step you are editing will blink.
           Use the glide knob.
           LED 5 (Octave location ) will light green during editing & playback to indicate that
           glide is active per step. (The glide value is global & not set per step)

       d . Ratching (or re-trigs)
            1-4 ratchets per step. Timing is scaled to the tempo
             The number of ratchets is displayed on the Octave LEDs (yellow)
             LED 6 (Octave location ) will light green during editing & playback to indicate that
            ratching is active per step.
             Press shift & the note (you wish to edit). The lamp under the step you are editing will blink.
             Press Shift & Turn the Glide knob.

       e. Accents
           Press shift & the note (you wish to edit). The lamp under the step you are editing will blink.
           Press the accent buton
            LED 7 (Octave location ) will light green during editing & playback to indicate that
            accents are active per step.

6. To save a sequence:
     a. First pick where you want to save it.
     b. Press Run/Stop (Rec).
     c. Press (Shift)+ Run/Stop (Rec).
     d.  Press (Shift)+ Run/Stop (Rec) again, to save to the current location..

      to save to a different location, use the Left/Right arrows to choose a  new slot
      and then press (Shift) + Run/Stop (Rec).
