LESSON 007
Micro Sequencer (i36)
A sequencer allows a musician to choose a series of notes and play them whenever they want. You
can step through the notes one at a time using a type of controller called a trigger, or you can set
the notes to play over and over again in a pattern.
Set the clock switch on the micro sequencer to “speed.” When you switch on the power, four notes
will begin to play, one after the other. The LED lights tell you which note is playing. Turn one of the
micro sequencer’s knobs all the way down (left - counterclockwise) to create a silent pulse.
What happens when you replace the oscillator with the random module set to noise? What does
turning the sequencer’s knobs up and down do to the sound?
A Repeating Pattern.
Explore some patterns of notes and silences. Explore different speeds.
Speed - to choose how fast the pitches will cycle through
Clock - to choose step (using a trigger) or speed (repeating)
Knobs - to choose pitches or silence
Tune dial - to match other instruments exactly
Pitch Knob - to make higher and lower sounds
Square/Saw - to choose between two kinds of sound
Volume - to make the sound louder and softer

LESSON 007
Micro Sequencer (i36)
Share what you’ve learned:
What happens when you slide the keyboard’s key mode switch to “hold?”
Slide the keyboard’s key mode switch to “press.” The keyboard module is now functioning as a
trigger for the micro sequencer. Each time you press one of it’s buttons, another step is played from
the sequencer. Holding the key down allows the steps to play in sequence until you let go.
Find a repeating pattern that you like and choose a speed (or step through the pitches at your own
pace using the trigger). You or a partner can perform with the pattern by:
•Rapping
•Singing
•Playing an Instrument
•Clapping or Doing Other Body Percussion
•Reading poetry
Share your work with a friend, your teacher, or on social media (with your teacher’s permission).
Why?
Put the oscillator back into your
circuit and remove the random
module. Move the sequencer’s
clock switch to “step,” and add
the keyboard module to your
circuit as shown.
