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.

Step in Time.
