Info

Step SequencerThe Octopus features two identical Step Sequencers. These allow you tocreate patterns of notes that are played back as part of the current preset.The Step Sequencers are located at the lower edge of the instrument's frontpanel.Each Step Sequencer contains the following controls: Seq 1/Seq 2, Menu,Steps, Shuffle, Transpose, Pattern Display, Random and Ping Pong. Thesecontrols are described below. Note that each Step Sequencer is identical soonly one will be described in this manual. Also note that each pattern isconsidered to be part of the preset, so that if you change presets and thepattern has not been saved with the preset, then it will be lost.Seq 1/Seq 2The Seq 1/Seq 2 buttons are located at the top left of each Step Sequencermodule. Clicking on these buttons turns the respective Step Sequencer onor off.38 Manual
MenuEach Step Sequencer module has a drop-down Pattern menu. This menu isaccessed by clicking on the V beside each Sequencer's label.The menu contains the following items: Load Pattern, Save Pattern, ClearPattern, Shift Left, Shift Right and Reverse.The Load Pattern menu item enables you to load a pattern into the StepSequencer. The Save Pattern menu item enables you to save a pattern sothat it can loaded at a later point in time. The Load Pattern and SavePattern menu items enable you to create a library of patterns that can beused with different sounds. The Clear Pattern menu item resets the StepSequencer to its default values and clears the current pattern from thedisplay.The Shift Left and Shift Right menu items shift the current pattern eitherright or left depending on the item selected. For example, the pattern 0 – 2– 4 – 5 becomes 2 – 4 – 5 – 0 which is the original pattern shifted one placeto the left.The Reverse menu item reverses the order of the pattern. For example, apattern such as 0 – 2 – 4 – 5 becomes 5 – 4 – 2 – 0.Note that items in the Pattern menu change the pattern itself. This isdifferent from, say, the PingPong switch which changes the way that thepattern plays back, but not the pattern itself.StepsThe Step control allows you to define length of the pattern that the StepSequencer plays. A pattern can range from a 1-step sequence to a 32-stepsequence.Manual 39
