 Algorithmic Mode
In Algorithmic Mode, the Step LEDs at the top of the module show the sequence of on and off steps for
one output jack at a time. An illuminated LED corresponds to a positive 12 volts on the output jack for
that step. An off LED represents a rest where the output jack is zero volts (grounded). One of the
Output LEDs on the right side of the module is illuminated to indicate which output is currently being
edited.
Turn Knob 1 to increase or decrease the complexity of the sequence. Complexity is the term we use to
describe the number of on steps and the rests between them. There are 36 levels of complexity,
including all steps off and all steps on. Most of the possible step sequences are simply shifted versions
of other sequences.
Less Complex Less Complex Example Steps More Complex More Complex

Turn Knob 2 to shift the steps to the right or left. For example:
Shifted Left Twice
Shifted Left Once Example Steps Shifted Right Once Shifted Right Twice

Press Knob 1 or Knob 2 to change the output currently being edited. The knobs are also pushbutton
switches, and so can be pressed like a button. Press Knob 1 to move the Output LED indicator up, and
press Knob 2 to move the indicator down. The Output LED that is illuminated indicates which output is
currently being edited.
Copy
You can copy any pattern to any other pattern. To access the copy function, press both knobs at the
same time. That is, press and hold Knob 1 then press Knob 2, or press and hold Knob 2 then press
Knob 1. The Mode LEDs will flash in a distinctive way to indicate that the copy function is active.
While the copy function is active, the Step LEDs will show pattern A and the Output LEDs will show
pattern B. Either A or B can be the source or destination for the copy.
Turn Knob 1 to select pattern A.
Turn Knob 2 to select pattern B.
Press Knob 1 to copy pattern B to pattern A. Pattern A then becomes the current pattern, and the
module returns to the mode you were in when you initiated the copy function.
Press Knob 2 to copy pattern A to pattern B. Pattern B then becomes the current pattern, and the
module returns to the mode you were in when you initiated the copy function.
Pres the Mode Button to cancel the copy function without copying anything.
