2. Reset: Instantly play the first step of the sequence exactly like any reset input of the VCV sequencers.
3. First/last step outputs: send a gate signal when playing the first or the last step.
4. Accent output: send a gate signal when the sequencer play a programmed accent.
5. Trig ouputs: send a gate signal when the sequencer play the corresponding programmed instrument.
6. FIll control: Control the selection of one of the four fills with CV. The control respect 1V/fill.
In other words 0 to 1 volt select fill1, 1 to 2 volts select fill2, 2 to 3 volts select fill3 and
3 to 4 volts select fill4.
7. A/B mode: Select the playing mode (read A, read B or read both A & B)
8. TAP: Play and record a rhythm in realtime with the button or the trigger/gate input.
9. Play/Stop/: Use the play and stop buttons to manualy play and stop (stop also make the sequence
restart from the beginning) or control it with the inputs to synchronise the sequencer as shown in FIG 2.
10.Seq output: CV output of the CV sequence.
11. CV seq: Use the knobs to encode the CV sequence
(usefull to modulate drums cv's controlable parameters).
12. Instrument selection: Select the instrument that you want to program or record in real time.
13. Pattern selection: Select the pattern that you want to program.
14. Pattern control: Control the selection of one the 10 first patterns with CV.
The control respect 1V/pattern. Then, 0 to 1 volt select pattern1, 1 to 2 volts select pattern2,
2 to 3 volts select pattern3 and so on,...
15. Fill triggering: Use the fill button or input to trig a fill instantly (no need to wait the end of
the current sequence like with normal patterns). Use the four colored button to choose wich fill will
be triggered. You can also do it with CV as explain in "6.Fill Control" section.
16. Step encoders: Use the step encoder to program a rhythm in the current instrument/pattern.
17. Length: Set the length of the sequence with knob or CV.

(use to know when the arranger have to pass to the next step).

10. Step number: Indicate the current step.
11. Pattern output: CV output to connect to the "Pattern CV input" of the drum sequncer.

NOTE: The CV pattern/fill and fill trigerring Gate signals coming from the arrengers have to be mixed before send to the drum sequencer.
The used mixers has to be set to NOT attenuate the signals.
