Sequencer Page/Screen
The seq page is the most used page.
To return to the sequencer page just press SEQUENCER
The sequencer screen is where you arrange the pattern order
and the order of the songs.
You can also create loops here
The sequencer screen will show you the 8 different Tracks.
Each Track is made up of Patterns (176).
Each Pattern contains Patches(176), Tables(32), Automation (16) & samples (12)
It's important to remember:
"Some functions can also be routed to outputs without the use of any sequence. For
example, an envelope can be routed directly to a CV/MOD output. The envelope itself can then
again be triggered/gated by a sequence, a table, CV inputs or other sources." Manual
Also numbers are represented in Hexadecimal form.
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F,
10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,1A,1B,1C,1D,1E,1F
20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,2A,2B,2C,2D,2E,2F
30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,3A,3B,3C,3D,3E,3F
etc etc
the number after 9F goes to A0
These rows go all the way to FE (254 in decimal).

To create a new pattern
press OK on an empty field.
The created pattern
gets a new pattern-number, but the new pattern itself will be empty.
To insert a pattern that is already used (clone)
press Shift & OK
To delete a pattern
press shift & delete
Solo/Unsolo track: Using SHIFT + UP + START solos the current track.
For fast unmuting all tracks you can press SHIFT + UP + START
Note the same Mute/Solo functions can be used with the Trigger16 Expander when on the pattern

The ‘**’ in a sequencer field represents a function to stop a track.
If you want to start the whole row, press
SHIFT+ START
SHIFT+ STOP stops the player. Initiates a reset pulse on the reset outputs and resets all gates.
Pattern Page/Screen.
Here, you fill in notes, data, triggers, gates, etc
The screen has 9 columns
1. Row
2. Note
3. Patch
4. table
5. trigger/gate
6. modulation/cv
7. effects
8. groove
9. screen name
Notes:
eg C-4 for Note C in octave 4; D#5 for d-sharp’ in
octave 5.
[ ] = note off
Patch
Patches are presets that can be set on every sequencer step
Press OK to create a new patch.
Press SHIFT + OK on
a filled in patch to Clone the filled in patch into a new patch.
In general this contains your knob positions which can be
called back at any time if wanted.
You can enter the patch screen from the pattern screen.
Press the PATCH button.
You can navigate up/down and change the values with shift left-right-up-down.
Table
Table is to select a table to transpose notes or effects.
Trigger, turn the trigger output on/off
MOD changes the Modulation output of the track to a value 000 - FFF (range from 0 - 10
Volt or -5/+5 Volt). Furthermore, the MOD output can also Generate Note-scaled values
Effects ... things like glide, probability, etc
To be continued....
