Step

The Step output is really more like a multi-aux. There are currently three modes of operation:

  • Step
  • Alternate Audio
  • LFO

The options can be selected with the left knob. Each mode has its own configuration menu (though in the case of the Step mode, it will take you over to the Wave menu).

Modes

Step

The step mode is controlled by the gate input. When the gate goes from low to high, the step output is updated. In wave mode, it will advance through the configured step option for the wave patch. In noise mode, it will output the current random value.

Alternate Audio

This enables the a dual output mode for the Wave output (for Noise and Sampler it does nothing) which can be configured in a detune or whole-note offset mode. To further change the config, press the right knob to enter the Step Audio setup.

In the audio sub-menu, the left knob select the desired configuration item, and the right knob updates that config item's settings. Long pressing the left knob will return back to the main Step menu.

LFO

This enables a free-running LFO which runs regardless of which main mode is selected. To further change the LFO settings, press the right knob to enter the LFO setup menu. In the LFO setup menu, the left knob changes the desired configuration item, and the right knob updates that config item's settings. Long pressing the left knob will return back to the main Step menu.

The LFO currently supports Triangle, Saw, Ramp (Revers-Saw), Sine, and Random modes.

The attenuation setting controls the amplitude of the LFO. No attenuation (00) is the full range whereas FF is nearly silent. This is digital attenuation so you should expect artifacts at high attenuation rates. If those are not desired, consider using an analog attenuator.

If desired, the LFO can be resettable by enabling the Gate Reset option. When the gate goes from low to high, the LFO will reset back at the initial start of the period. Note that the gate input can still be used for other purposes (the gate is shared).

The LFO period can be controlled manually and via CV. The CV range is bipolar and is enabled by toggling CV Control. The period sets the base period. When CV mode is disabled, this is time it takes to complete a cycle through the waveform. When CV is enabled, this value is combined with the CV value. Note that the period value does not automatically update on the display when it changes due to CV. To see the current value, you can use the left knob to force a display update.

This is by design because updating the display takes time and can impact the function of the LFO and other things on the module.

Saving Settings

The settings are automatically saved when leaving the menu (by press-and-holding the left knob). This is true for the alt-audio and LFO modes (which are saved when leaving their respective menus).
