INTRODUCTION:
The‘SEQUENCE8’isananalog8stepsequencerwith3attenuablecontrolvoltageoutputsand
a5octaverange(05V).Eachofthe8stepshaveagateoutputjack(usedforresettingthe
sequenceatacertainstepandotherfunctions),3CVoutputseachwiththeirownlimiterknob
(attenuator),ClockInputandOutput,FineandCoarseknobsfortheinternalclock,a‘Linear
Random’functionwithaseparatespeedcontrolandOn/Offswitch,momentaryHold,Step,and
Resetswitches,HoldHardlatchingswitch,Internal/ExternalClockSwitch,andlastbutnot
least...aResetinputjack.
WhiletheSequence8wasprimarilymadefortheEurorackmodularsynthformat,iscapableof
beingpoweredbyFRACsystems.Sinceafairamountofourproductsarecapableofbeing
poweredwitha9Vcenternegativepoweradaptorora9Vbattery,wehaveaddedtheseoptions
aswell.Thisgivesoursequencer4differentwaysofbeingpowered,whereyouhavethe

thefrequencyCVinputonafilter,andthelastCVoutintoresonanceCVinputonafilter.Now
youhaveafilterthat’strackingrightalongwithyouroscillator.
RuntheCLOCKOUTtoanenvelopemodule'sgateortriggerinputandgetcrackingwith
envelopesthathappenintimewithyoursequence.Thisisusefulforusinganenvelopemodule
toopen&closeaVCAintimewithyoursequence.

Sequence8,whetheryouusetheinternalclockoranexternalclock.Thiseffecthappensatthe3

theSEQUENCE8,youwillfindthesameclockcomingoutoftheclockoutputwhenthe
RANDOMmodeisengaged.Thisisaverymusicalfunctionandcanaddanicebitof

SEQUENCE8nativelyoperatesinalinearfashion,usingRANDOMhelpsbreakthemonotonyof
astaticsequence.
Youcanuseanyofthepushbutton(HOLDMOM,STEP,RESET)ortoggleswitchfunctions
(HOLDHARD,CLOCKSWITCH,RANDOM)toaddvarietyinyoursequences,whicheffectively
