A 4-track programmable gate sequencer with eight internal memory slots, external clocking, per-track parameters, and a performance-first design in a 1U tile format.1101
External clock input; each rising edge advances the sequence one step. LED flashes on each received pulse. Required for playback.1101
RST
gate
—
Reset input; accepts a trigger or gate. In RESET mode resets all tracks to step 1; in RUN mode also enables/disables playback based on gate state.1101
Outputs (4)
OUT A
gate
≤5V
Gate output for Track A; LED lights when gate is high.1101
OUT B
gate
—
Gate output for Track B; LED lights when gate is high.1101
OUT C
gate
—
Gate output for Track C; LED lights when gate is high.1101
OUT D
gate
—
Gate output for Track D; LED lights when gate is high.1101

Name
Type
Range
Behavior
Clock Division
button
1clock division – 64clock division
Sets the clock division for the selected track, slowing playback relative to the CLK input. /1 (no division) at leftmost, /64 at rightmost.1101
Delay
button
0% – 58%
Offsets the timing of every step in the track by a percentage of the clock period. Unlike swing, this applies equally to all steps.1101
EDIT Button
button
—
Short-press enters Edit Mode (red LED on); long-press (>1 sec) enters Step Edit Mode for per-step parameter editing.1101
Gate Length
button
—
Sets gate length for all steps in the selected track. Leftmost button pins gate to input pulse width; rightmost makes gate last the full step width (allowing ties). Middle values are fixed lengths increasing left to right.1101
MULTIFUNCTION Buttons
button
—
16 backlit buttons that serve as gate step entry in Play Mode, track/page/mute selectors in Select Mode, and parameter value selectors in Edit Mode. Color coding indicates the current mode and step state.1101
Probability
button
—
Sets the likelihood that each programmed step will fire. At 100% all steps play as programmed; lower values randomly skip steps.1101
Ratchets
button
1 – 12
Per-step setting that causes a step to fire multiple gates before advancing. Values: 1 (no ratchet), 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, or random. Gate length is automatically set to 1 tick when ratcheting is active on a step.1101
SELECT Button
button
—
Toggles Select Mode on/off when tapped; acts as a momentary switch into Select Mode when held. Yellow LED indicates Select Mode is active.1101
Shift
button
-4step – 4step
Rotates the active pattern forward or backward by up to 4 steps. Only affects steps within the programmed track length.1101
Swing
button
50% – 78%
Delays every other step to create swing feel. Conforms to MPC standard values plus 78%. At 50% there is no swing.1101
Track Length
button
1step – 64step
Sets the number of active steps in the track pattern. Steps beyond the set length are ignored during playback but remain stored.1101

Notes
1.20
2020-01-10
Added delayed preset load (long-press on LOAD page), muted tap entry mode in TAP Recording, and Step Edit Mode for per-step editing of Gate, Delay, Probability, and Ratchets. Fixed track probability to apply to current position without randomizing individual ratchets.1101
1.11
2019-10-10
Added filtering on Clock input to handle imprecise clock pulses.1101
1.10
2019-08-14
Added RUN Mode as an alternate to RESET Mode, where the sequencer only advances while the RST input gate is high. Fixed RST gate compensation when it arrives shortly after a clock rise. Fixed manual RST press to immediately reset to step 1.1101
