User Manual

Ratchets range from 1 (no ratcheting, at the far left); to 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and random (every pass
produces a random number of ratchets). In the following illustration, we have assigned eight
ratchets to step 9.
4. Once you’ve set the number of ratchets for a step, press the same multifunction (step) button to
back up one level, exiting the step’s Ratchet Assignment mode.
5. Add ratchets to additional steps by pressing the desired multifunction (step) button; setting the
number of ratchets using the buttons in the opposite row, then re-pressing the same
multifunction (step) button to exit the Ratchet Assignment mode for that step.
TIP : You can copy one step's ratchet value to another by holding down the step button you want
to copy while pressing the step button to which you want to paste it.
6. When you’re done entering or editing ratchets, long-press ( > 1 sec) the EDIT button to exit Step
Edit mode.
The red Edit LED stops blinking and Steppy returns to Play mode.
SHORTCUT : After assigning ratchets to a step, you can press another step button in that same
row to edit its ratchets without needing to back out of Ratchet Assignment mode. For example, if
you created ratchets on Step 9, you could press any of Steps 10-16 to then edit those ratchets.
NOTE : Ratcheting automatically makes the step’s Gate length equal to 1 “tick” (a clock pulse is
divided into 24 ticks).
