One of the original ideas behind the Sequantizer is that you can leave it permanently wired 
to the 1v/oct input of one or more VCOs. The keyboard or other quantized source then 
plugs into the transpose input of the Sequantizer. This is the same setup used by the ARP 
1130(?) sequencer. You can then transpose the keyboard or other source by an octave 
down, octave up or into any key using a setting on the knobs.

For example, leave position one as "normal" with knob set to 0 volts and no patch cords 
from Gate 1 . For position 2 set the knob to zero and run a patch cord from Gate 2 to the 
Oct + input. On position 3 set the knob to zero and run a patchcord from Gate 3 to the 
Oct - input. On position 4 set the knob to transpose a fifth.

Then use the Select control knob or jack to change transpositions. Position 2 moves the 
keyboard or sequence up an octave, position 3 moves the keyboard or sequence down an 
octave and position 4 transposes the keyboard or sequence up a fifth.

The Gate controls can also change patches. You can have one patch controlled by a 
keyboard or sequencer, and another patch controlled by the same keyboard or sequencer. 
The Gate outputs can be used to switch which patch goes to the output monitors. Using a 
crossfader, only a single gate is needed to switch between the two patches.

The Gates can also be used for simple changes like switching from a slow attack to a fast 
one.
