Control Jack (per output)
When in Algorithmic or Step Edit mode, the voltage on the control jack affects the shift and/or
complexity of the outputs. Each output can be individually configured as to how it responds to the
control voltage, if at all.
Voltage Controlled Shift/Complexity Change
 On First Step: The shift and/or complexity, as determined by the voltage on the Control Jack,
changes on the first step. Voltage changes during the playing of the sequence are ignored.
 Immediate: The shift and/or complexity changes immediately in response to the voltage on the
Control Jack. The current step does not reset to the first step when that happens, the sequence
changes right away.
Voltage Controlled Shift
 Off: The voltage on the Control Jack has no effect on the shifting of the steps. Knob 2 still controls
the shift.
 On: The shift changes with the voltage on the control jack. The 5 volt range is divided into 9 equal
divisions of approximately 0.55 volts. A voltage under 0.55 volts has no effect on the shift, just as if
nothing was plugged into the control jack, or this option was turned off.
Voltage Controlled Complexity
 Off: The voltage on the Control Jack has no effect on the complexity of the sequence. Knob 1 still
controls the complexity, or edits the steps (in Algorithmic or Step Edit mode respectively).
 On: The complexity changes with the voltage on the control jack. A voltage under 0.55 volts has no
effect on the complexity, just as if nothing was plugged into the control jack, or this option was
turned off. The voltages above 0.55 volts are divided into 36 equal divisions of approximately 0.12
volts, corresponding to the 36 different complexity levels.
Both Voltage Controlled Shift and Complexity
If both VC Shift and VC Complexity are turned on for an output, then the zero to 5 volt range is divided
into 256 equal divisions of approximately 0.02 volts, corresponding to all of the possible sequences of
eight steps. Mathematically inclined users should note that the steps are not set to the binary
equivalent of the voltage, but rather are sorted in ascending complexity and shift order.
If both VC Shift and VC Complexity are turned on for an output, and nothing is plugged into the Control
Jack, then the all steps will remain off for that output.
