Sequencer Patches

Seq8 Module

The Seq 8 is a 8 Step Sequencer with multiple functions. It requires a trigger impulse input to advance the steps per trigger. The Step length can be 1-8 steps. Each step will output a value (in note values) between C-2 and G8, a trigger signal plus an additional CV value 0-5 V. The sequence direction can be set to:
FWD = Forward
BWD = Backward
BAF = Back and Forth
ALT = Alternate (e.g. 1-3-2-4-3-5 etc.)
RND = Random
Each step also offers a Mute function. The 'EOS' output will output a Trigger signal at the End of Sequence (= 'EOS').

As inputs, you have beside the Step Trigger input a Random Trigger for the Sequence values. This will randomize the Step values according to the defined range and only if the 'Rand On/Off' switch is set to ON. Also, the sequence can be set on next trigger to 1 via the RESET input (requires a Trigger input). The Transpose function shifts the sequence up or down (+/- 24 semi tones).

Input TRIG (Step), TRIG (Random), RESET
Output PITCH CV, CV 0-5, TRIG, EOS

Pulser Module

Pulser is a simple pulse/trigger generator with a special 'groove' function. Pulse signals can either be in Clock Sync or in Free running mode. In Sync mode, you can apply an additional swing factor for 1/8,16 or 32 divisions. In Free mode, you can set the tempo in BPM and choose a division factor. With the groove sliders, you can shift the timing of individual pulse triggers up or down. There are 16 groove sliders so the triggers will iterate through these 16 steps. The 'R' labelled button will zero the shift factors.

Output TRIG

Probability Module
The Probability module creates trigger signals based on an adjusted probability value. At the heart of this module are 10 value sliders which determine the probability percentage. The higher a slider value, the more likely it is that a trigger will happen. Simply drag the slider(s) to define the probability factor.

Apart from probability triggers, the slider values will also be output - here you can choose between a bipolar and unipolar values. In "bipolar" mode, the value range is -5. to 5., in "unipolar" mode, the range is 0. - 5. Also, you can randomize the probability sliders with a timing factor. Activate the random factor with the on/off switch and the timing with the value box next to it. The higher the timing value, the more time will pass until the next probability/slider randomization.

NoteSeq Module
The NoteSeq module is a classic 'Piano-roll' style sequencer. Unlike the other sequencer modules, NoteSeq has an internal transport which is synced to the Ableton transport.

Simply use your mouse to draw the desired notes. In addition to the pitch of the notes, which is routed to the output1 as Pitch CV, NoteSeq offers 3 further CV outputs (CV1, CV2, CV3) and a Trigger output. The 'length' parameter lets you define the length between 1-32. When folding is enabled, NoteSeq only displays those pitches which are present in the sequence. 'Swing' lets you apply a swing factor to the selected Note division (1/32, 1/16, 1/8).

Output Pitch CV, CV1, CV2, CV3, TRIG

IPG Module

The IPG (Impulse Pattern Generator) creates rhythmic trigger signals. It generates a rhythm, based on a time grid and a list of multiples, from which elements are picked according to the chosen selection principle. Choose between aleatoric, series, sequence and rotation. Click the Dice button to introduce a new multiple list.

Hit Module

The Hit module is a complete analogue-style drum sequencer and synthesizer with 5 integrated percussion synthesizers. These instruments and their parameters are:
Bass:Tune, Decay, Color, Envelope, Volume
Snare: Tune, Decay, Attack, Color, Envelope, Volume
HH: Tune, Decay, Volume
HH2: Tune, Decay, Volume
PC: Tune, Decay, Attack, Color, Envelope, Volume
Each instrument can has it's own output - the sum of all instruments is routed to the MIX output. The Stepsequencer features 2-32 steps and Accent. You need to trigger the sequencer with a trigger generator in order to run it. Therefore, you'll find a trigger input labelled 'SEQ'. The 'RESET' input will set the sequence back to the first step. In addition, each of the 5 drum synth instruments can be triggered individually.

Input (Triggers) KICK, SNARE, HH, HH2, PC, SEQ, RESET
Output MIX, KICK, SNARE, HH, HH2, PC

GridSeq Module

The Grid Seq Module is a 3x8 Step trigger sequencer. The Trigger input takes a pulse like e.g. an LFO and moves the sequencer either forward, backward or alternating a step per pulse. By clicking on the Grid, an active step is created - by clicking the same active step again, it will become inactive.

Input Trigger
Output Trigger 1, Trigger 2, Trigger 3

EventSeq Module

The EventSeq Module is a 1-64 Step trigger sequencer. The Trigger input takes a pulse like e.g. an LFO and moves the sequencer either forward, backward or alternating a step per pulse. Use the up/down/left/right buttons to shift the sequence. The random button provides a "soft" randomization. The parameters are:
Sequence direction: left, right, alternate
Step length: 1-64 steps
Shift: up, down, left, right
R: random
The signal output can be Bipolar (-5. to 5.) or Unipolar (0.-5.)

Euclidean Module

The Euclidean sequencer is a 2-channel trigger sequencer. Each channel can be individually driven by a trigger signal (e.g. a LFO or the Clocker etc.) A sequence can be reset to 0 with the retrigger input. The parameters are:
Hits: how many hits are in the step sequence?
Step length: 1-32 steps
Rotate: Shift the sequence to the left or right
Direction: Forward, Backwards, Alternate

Input Trigger 1, Trigger 2, Retrigger 1, Retrigger 2
Output Signal1 (values:0.-5.), Signal2 (values:0.-5.)

Clocker Module

The Clocker features two independent clock generators. Each of them will send out tempo/time synchronized Trigger, Clock, as well as Reset signals.
Trigger: short impulse
Clock: pulse wave (0-5V), with varying pulse width when swing is applied
Reset: goes low (0V) when clock is running, goes high (5V) when stopped
Sequencers will usually work fine with both, Trigger and Clock signals. Use a Reset signal to reset a sequencer to step 1, so that it plays from the beginning when restarting the clock. Use the Free / Sync mode switch to run the clock either at an independent tempo or synchronized to Live's transport. The Play button starts and stops the clock in Free mode or indicates the state of Live's transport when in Sync mode. Available beat time divisions:
whole
1/2 , 1/2 dotted, 1/2 triplet
1/4 , 1/4 dotted, 1/4 triplet
1/8 , 1/8 dotted, 1/8 triplet
1/16 , 1/16 dotted, 1/16 triplet
1/32 , 1/32 dotted, 1/32 triplet

Output Trigger 1, Trigger 2, Clock 1, Clock 2, Reset 1, Reset 2
