parameter, and the rightmost button sets the maximum value, with interim values spread
across the middle six buttons.
Buttons are RED in Edit Mode, with the red button in the bottom row indicating the active
parameter, and the lit button(s) in the top row indicating the parameter value.
Edit Mode is indicated when the red Edit Mode LED is lit. You can also tell you’re in Edit
Mode when (in general) most buttons are RED . See Edit Mode for detailed information.
[2] SELECT button - This button turns Select Mode on and off.
In Select Mode, the MULTIFUNCTION buttons perform the tasks indicated by the labels with
black backgrounds (visually linking them with the black color of the SELECT button). The yellow
LED next to the SELECT button turns on when Select Mode is on.
If pressed and released, the SELECT button functions as a toggle button — putting Steppy into
Select Mode, where it remains until the SELECT button is pressed again to exit Select Mode.
If pressed and held, the SELECT button functions as a momentary switch — temporarily putting
Steppy into Select Mode while you press the desired MULTIFUNCTION button. Releasing both
the SELECT button and the MULTIFUNCTION button automatically exits Select Mode. This is
great if you want to make quick on-the-fly changes. For example, if you’re currently viewing
Track A and you want to view Track B, simply press and hold the SELECT button while pressing
the “Track B” MULTIFUNCTION button. Release both buttons and Steppy returns to Play mode
(which now shows the pattern for Track B) without remaining in Select mode.
[3] EDIT button - This button turns Edit Mode on and off.
Edit Mode uses the bottom row of MULTIFUNCTION buttons to select which parameter to edit
(as indicated by the labels below the bottom buttons, such as GATE, CLK ÷, SWING, etc). Edit
Mode uses the top row of MULTIFUNCTION buttons to adjust the selected parameter value
(with, in general, the ‘lowest’ possible value corresponding to the leftmost button, and the
‘highest’ possible value corresponding to the rightmost button).
When Steppy is in Edit Mode, it lights the red LED adjacent to the EDIT button.
Long-press ( > 1 sec) the EDIT button to enable a special Step Edit Mode , which allows
ratcheting, along with per-step editing of Gate Length, Step Delay and Probability.
