Well, the module was plugged in correctly, and while (sorry guys) I know from experience that a malfunctioning module can get by the AH testing (they canR17;t test everything...), in this particular case it was an egregious case of dumb user error, whose dumbness is accentuated b

It sounds to me like there is no power being applied to the module. Not trying to sound like a smart ass, but that's what it seems is happening. The Atten. output will do it's job whether the module is under power or not. It's a passive attenuator that uses the ground from the pa

Skip step is (mainly) great fun to play with, that in itself makes it a worthwhile inclusion, I think. It's a good performance control, a way to add some variety to a sequenced part which might otherwise get a little monotonous. Also, one can divide a 16-step sequencer into 2 8-s
