3.1.6. Transport keys
These three keys control the so-called transport functions of Dark Time.
• Start/Stop key
Hitting the Start/Stop key once will get the sequencer going. Hitting it once
again, the sequencer will stop. The next hit will restart the sequence and play
back will continue from where it was stopped. In other words: If the sequence
was stopped on step 8, the sequence will continue from step 9 when hitting
Start/Stop.
• Reset key
Hitting the Reset key will reset the sequence to the first active step. This can
be step 1 (1-16 mode), step 1 and 9 (2x(1-8) mode) or any step in ”jump”
position which determines the current starting point of the sequence.
• Step key
The first hit will activate the Step key function. Each new hit on this key will
make the register skip one step forward to the next step available. This way
you can step through the sequence manually. Hitting the Stop key will quit
this
function.

”1-8 Combi“
3.1.5. Individual gate length for steps 1 to 8:
As you already know, the
Pulsewidth control sets the gate time. This setting affects all steps by the same
factor. Now you will learn how to program individual gate time settings for each of the steps 1 to 8 (upper
register).
This function is enabled by the ”Custom” setting of the Link switch.
•
Set the
Link switch to ”Custom” position.
•
Simply turn the
step controls of the lower register to program individual gate time settings for the
corresponding steps of the upper register, e.g. use step pot 9 to adjust the gate time of step 1 and
so on. In this mode, the setting of the gate time is continuously variable, i. e. it is not dependent on
the clock divider settings.
