To program a sequence:

1. Turn the sequencer on.

2. Choose Sequencer in the Modulation section.

3. Choose the sequence to program: 1, 2, 3, or 4.

4. Play a note to start the sequence playing.

To avoid having to hold a key down, set the Push It Mode (Misc.

Parameters) to Toggle. Then use Push It to start and stop the sequencer.

You may also want to change the Push It Note, the BPM, and the Clock

Divide.

5. Choose a destination for the sequence.

6. Use the Step and Value controls to enter the desired values.

As the sequence loops, you will hear your edits.

7. Choose another sequence and follow the same basic steps until you’re

happy with the results.

8. Dont forget to write your edits to memory! Sequences are saved with

the related program. Just press Write and then Yes to save the program

and sequences.

More Sequencer Parameters
The previous section covers the basics of sequencer programming, but there are

some additional parameters that affect the sound and user interaction with the

sequencer.

Slew
In modular analog synthesizers, a lag processor or slew limiter is used to create

a time-varying change—a smooth transition—between successive, discrete

control voltage levels. The rate of change is called the slew rate and one

common application is to create a glide (aka portamento) effect between notes.

Among the possible destinations for Mopho sequences two and four is a

sequence-only parameter called Slew. Slew behaves a little differently from the

other modulation destinations, in that it is not really a destination at all; instead,

it affects the sequence above it. That is, if Slew is the chosen destination for

sequence two, it controls sequence one, and Slew in sequence four controls

sequence three.
