Does the raw output give the voltage for the pots as a 0-5 CV range?

That's how I understand it. Clever design!

That's how I understand it. Clever design! I think so too, and agree - if that's the case as we both think it's an incredible design! |

I try to synchronize TOPOGRAF and SEQ8 and I have the following behavior: When I press "STOP" on my Arturia Keystep, the LED for Step 1 lights up on the SEQ8. And when I press "PLAY", the SEQ8 starts with step 2(!). And this seems to be, what I should expect according to the documentation: RESET - Puts the sequence being played back to step 1; this means any sequence length up to 8 steps can be generated
CLK - Clock, each +5V pulse moves the sequence to the next step.
My issue now is, that TOPOGRAF and SEQ8 are off by one step. As you can see in this photo, the indicator on the TOPOGRAF lights up when SEQ8 is on step 2:  Do you have an idea, what I should do to synchronize the two modules? I have patched OUT A of the MIDICLOCK DIVIDER to CLK of the TOPOGRAF and the SEQ8. I have patched the B.STOP of SEQ8 to RESET of SEQ8. And I have patched B.STOP in to MASTER I/O module to RESET in the TOPOGRAF module. |

I was able to manually sync the modules by slowing down the sequence (I set the div of the MIDICLOCK DIVIDER to 1/2) and then pressing the RESET button of SEQ8 at the right moment. This is OK as a workaround, but of course as soon as I stop and restart the sequence, the modules are out of sync by one step

why don't you program your sequence in SEQ8 from step2 to step1 instead of step1 to step 8 that way its 1st played note will be in sync with the topograf.

And I have patched B.STOP in to MASTER I/O module to RESET in the TOPOGRAF module. SEQ8 doesn't handle stop/start quite the same way as the other sequencers. I've only gotten it to sync properly by patching bus START to reset instead of bus STOP. |

My guess is that the best way to start a seq8 from a pulse it to map it to a 3cv switch or a switch matrix and the sync input of an lfo and thus sync and send your lfo square wave to the trigger input of your SEQ8. Te stop pulse could be wired to reset the switch to its previous state taking the clock pulse away from the seq8.

I've held off a CV sequencer for ages, as I like to roll my own, but as expected this thing is genius - the raw out and programmed CV outs mean you can get two sequences, one with up to 5 notes, one with up to 8... a quite brilliant and very original implementation!
Nice range of modes too - with some creative patching things can get complex quick. Love it!

It's where the gold is - I've read a few people say they want a 'proper' sequencer in AE format... well the seq8 is it. Want more steps you say? Buy another and a switch, or better yet get clever with your assigning and switch between the CV and raw outs on just the one module... Super! |

pt3r I know right, I felt silly admitting it but that's what its about. I knew it was there but didn't click why. I totally get why 2 * 8 = 36 now tIB going to now have even more fun experimenting with sequencing. I was liking where 2 seq8 through Logic was going so adding the extra raw and switching will be cool to see what happens. Goes to show you can always do more with the gear you got! even if obvious.

The mode input controls how the Seq8 is played depending on the CV position that is patched into it. ie Forward, backwards and Random
Patch an LFO into it and the Mode will fluctuate between all of the settings.
Patch a more controlled cv source (like another Seq8) and the playback will be more controllable

.. or patch +5v into an attenuator (eg. 2ATT/CV or 4ATT/Mix) and then into the SEQ8 mode CV and you can control the mode easily by just turning a knob.

Thank you so much !! admin carsten and maydonpoliris Sold !! Was thinking on the SEQ 16 but looks like the SeQ8 is more loony
