ANALOG 8-STEP SEQUENCER

Your Drummer From Another Mother includes an all-analog 8-Step Sequencer with two rows of knobs.

One is for PITCH; the other is for VELOCITY. Together, they provide the tools for crafting dynamic and

expressive rhythmic percussion patterns.

STEP CONTROLS

Each Sequencer step (1—8) features a PITCH knob, a VELOCITY knob, and an LED that indicates the

currently active step.

NOTE: In order for the Sequencer to effect the Pitch of the Oscillators in your DFAM, the SEQ

PITCH MOD switch must be set to VCO 1&2 or VCO 2.

PITCH

PITCH knob values set to the right of center will add to the value of the VCO FREQUENCY knob,

raising the Pitch for that step only. Values to the left of the center position will subtract from the VCO

FREQUENCY knob, lowering the Pitch for that step.

NOTE: The Sequencer PITCH 1-8 knobs have roughly a 10-octave range (+/- 5 Volts). This voltage is also

available at the PITCH CV output on your DFAM patchbay.

VELOCITY

The values speciﬁed by the Sequencer VELOCITY 1-8 knobs determine the Velocity level of each step

as it played. The Velocity value is connected to the Velocity input and sets the Amplitude of all three

Envelope Generators: the VCO EG, the VCF EG, and the VCA EG. Low Velocity settings will create

quieter and less impactful sounds, while higher Velocity settings will create much louder and hard-

hitting sounds. If the VELOCITY 1-8 knobs are turned to their minimum position, DFAM will not output

sound.

TIP: Try varying Velocity values between steps on any sequence for a more lifelike behavior. Sequencer

steps with higher Velocity values may cause the Envelope Generators to have slightly longer Decay times.

Lower Velocity values may not be audible.

NOTE: The full range of each Velocity knob is 0 Volts to 5 Volts. This voltage is also available at the

VELOCITY output on your DFAM patchbay.

RUN / STOP

Pressing the RUN / STOP button will cause the Sequencer to begin playing

from the current step (indicated by a Red LED), and at the current Tempo. If

the Sequencer is already running, pressing the RUN / STOP button will halt

playback of the Sequencer.

NOTE: The red LED adjacent to the RUN/STOP button indicates whether the

Sequencer is running (lit) or stopped (unlit).
