User Manual
All edited track parameters (Swing, Delay, Probability, etc) are respected when looping, and
looping applies to all tracks when engaged.
To latch Loopy playback :
1. While holding down the two buttons that define the length of the Loopy sequence,
short-press the SELECT button.
You can now release your hold on the two buttons, since pressing the SELECT button
during Loopy playback latches it.
2. Press any of the step buttons to unlatch the Loopy function, and return to normal playback.
[7] RESET button
When in Select mode, press this button to reset all patterns (across all four tracks) back to their
first step. This is particularly useful if your tracks have different lengths and you wish to re-align
them to the first beat. This button replicates the functionality of the RST input jack. Pressing the
RESET button causes all 16 buttons to briefly flash green — indicating the reset operation has
occurred.
If Steppy is in RUN Mode (see the RESET (RST) IN jack description in Inputs & Outputs ), then
the button is lit yellow to indicate that Steppy is in RUN mode.
PANIC feature: In Select mode, if you long press the RESET button (i.e hold the RESET button
for >1 second), you’ll send a gate off to all the outputs. This is useful in the unlikely event that
one of the outputs gets stuck “on” when Steppy’s input clock is stopped or removed.
[8] CLEAR button
When in Select mode, the button performs two different functions depending on how long it’s
held down. Specifically;
● Short-press (button pressed and quickly released): Short-press the CLEAR button to clear
all steps from the active track (turning all gates to off). This causes all 16 buttons to briefly
flash red — indicating that the gates have been cleared. Short-pressing the CLEAR button
only clears the trigger pattern from a Track. Any track parameters (such as Gate Length,
Clock Division, or Probability) remain part of the track and will affect any new pattern you
create.
● Long-press (button pressed and held for 1-second): Press and hold the CLEAR button for 1
second to clear the entire contents of a Track, meaning its gate pattern plus all its Track
parameters (such as Gate Length, Clock Division, and Probability).
