EXP. MODE
EXP. MODE Description
RATE
Allows external control over the 8-STEP’s internal tempo whether the
tempo master is the RATE slider, TAP Tempo or MIDI Clock.

setting
Very fast multiple of
the TAP Tempo
MIDI Clock*
1/8x the MIDI
master tempo
24x the MIDI
master tempo
*When sweeping the expression pedal while MIDI Clock is the tempo
master, the tempo changes in 8 discrete multiples of the MIDI Clock
master tempo: 1/8x, 1/4x, 1/2x, 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, 24x.
If the 8-STEP is in Step-Thru mode, the expression pedal can be
used to increment the sequence: each time you move the pedal from
heel to toe, the sequence increments.
DEPTH
Allows smooth external control over the sequencer’s Depth. In this
mode, the heel position will yield a DEPTH of 0, the toe position equals
the current DEPTH setting. Stop the sequence to sweep current step.
GLIDE
Allows smooth external control over the sequencer’s Glide parameter.
In this mode, the heel position yields a fast Glide setting while the toe
position equals the current GLIDE setting.
SEQuence
LENGTH
Allows external control of Sequence Length. The heel position gives a
SEQ Length of 1, the toe position gives a SEQ Length of 8. The range
for external SEQ Length control does not change with the current
setting of SEQ Length, it is always 1 to 8 steps.
If the 8-STEP is in Step-Thru mode, the expression pedal can be
used to manually step-thru the sequence: the heel position will be
Step 1, the toe position is the maximum step of the sequence. The
Direction setting will not change the sequence in this special case
except for Random mode where as you move the expression pedal,
the sequence jumps to random steps.
External CV
Clock
Press and hold the EXP. MODE button until all EXP. MODE LEDs are lit.
When all LEDs are lit you are in External CV Clock mode. The optimal
range for the External Clock signal is 0V to 5V. Each time the external
clock changes from 0V to 5V, the sequencer advances a step (if set to
the 1/1 Tap Divide).
