Re: Making a 16-step sequence with the 8x2 Sequencer

2008-06-17 by johnrichoux

Hi Matt

I was interested in this question and finally got around to testing it myself. I found that I
can make a 16 step sequence out of the 8x2 by simply applying the same clock (DTG gate)
to both the SEQ and the ACPR. With each pulse, it switches from A to B, then the SEQ
advances one stage. The DTG gate has to be as square as you can get it. (Wish I had a VC
Clock module)

However, using this method to control pitch, I get a significant warble. It is less noticeable
using the method suggested earlier, as the crossfade happens only once, but with this
method it happens 8 times. I have the ACPR set full left. Even when the SEQ is preset to
the last stage, and both A & B are set to zero, there is a distinct pitch shift.

The warble is even more pronounced when I run the clock thru the PDIV. The greater the
division, more warble.

I have run into similar pitch accuracy problems with the ACPR before. I have ACPR's on
another panel, I should test with those.

Thanks for raising the question
John Richoux
