Analogue Systems RS-200 8 Step Sequencer (72HP)

Full Description

Toggle Switches

For each step 2 toggle switches are provided. The right side switch is a 3-way Skip/Off/Reset switch. This allows you to skip the selected event, do nothing (sequence runs as normal), or reset the pattern back to the beginning once the sequence hits that step. However, if a control voltage of +1V to +10V is applied to the SKIP IN input, it will modify the behavior of the skip function. Instead of skipping the step, it will hold it until the CV is removed. The other switch (Trig1/Off/Trig2) is a trigger gate pulse output selector. Rather than the usual way of using a trigger output for each channel, the RS-200 provides 2 switchable trigger outputs for each step, and a 3rd gate pulse that's activated at each step regardless of the trigger output switches. The switchable triggers allow you to create interesting and complex rhythmic variations. You can use the SKIP IN socket to connect the RS-200 to other modules to create some creative and interesting results within your sequence.

Clocking

The EXT CK IN input accepts signals with 'ON' amplitudes in the range of +1V to +20V. If the input signal is pulse-like, the sequencer will move through the steps according to the timing of this signal. There is no practical limit to the frequency of the input signal. An advantage of this is the ability to clock the RS-200 at audio frequencies, making it possible to use each of the 3 rows in the sequencer as audio-frequency complex waveform generators. The internal clock is a stabilised analog squarewave LFO that can output frequencies between 0.1Hz to 30Hz. The INT CK FREQUENCY control determines the step frequency in each of the rows.
