Greyscale Algorythm - Firmware 2

This module is a 1 to 8 channel step sequencer.

It can be a 1x64 step, 2x 32 step, 4x16 step or a 8x8 step sequencer.

 

The new firmware is a bit tricky to decipher initially.

There are 3 global menus

(access these menus by holding the Start/Stop button for about 450ms.)

 

1. OVERVIEW MENU (Loop/End switch)

2. MODE RESPONSE MENU (Seq/Rand switch)

3. CHAINING MENU (Gate/Trig switch)

 

Tap any of the right top white LED switches (excluding the left most Start/Stop LED switch) to change to a different menu.

 

---------------------

 

1.OVERVIEW MENU (Loop/End switch)

 The Overview menu always appears when the module is powered on.

It displays what's happening with each of the 8 channels.

 

The 1-8 LEDs flash brightly when an output voltage is high, and glow dimly when an output voltage is low. 

 

You can also mute channels from the Overview by tapping the specific channel button really quickly (just a light tap). 

 

Holding the button down for longer will allow you to see what steps are on/off for that specific channel.

To return to the Global view/menu, hold down the "Start/Stop" button.

 

 

Muted channel LEDs still flash (albeit less brightly) during playback so that you can keep track of what muted channels are doing before un-muting them. Mutes are applied on a per-segment basis, meaning that you can mute any segment within a chain while the other segments continue to play.

 

 

2.MODE RESPONSE MENU (Seq/Rand switch)

controls whether or not a channel will respond to a pulse at the Mode input jack,

 

 

3. CHAINING MENU (Gate/Trig switch).

( Switches 2, 4, and 7 have no function in this menu.)

 

Tap switch 1 for a 1x64 chain, where each of the 8 segments play in series. 

 

Tap switch 5 for a 2x32 chain.   (Switch 1 & 5 are lit)

 

 

Tap switch 3 for a 4x16 chain (switches 1,3,5,7 are lit)

 

 

tap switch 8 for an 8x8 setup, where each channel is independent (chaining is off). 

 

 

All the 8 LEDs are now lit.

 

 

Pattern Editing

You can change between channels/segments at any time, from any menu, by holding down one of the 1-8 switches for 450ms.  

you will then enter the editing mode and see the LEDs light up sequentially.
