The STEP SIZE control affects both the Modulation Sequencer and the Gate Sequencer. Each effects block’s sequencer can have its own step size setting.

By now, if you’re still paying attention, you’re probably thinking “well, this is all very elaborate and nice, but what does the Modulation Sequencer

To return to the actual point, the VCA effects block is a gate effect controlled by its sequencer. Together they turn the signal on and off in time wi

Finally, the PAN knob controls the perceived stereo position of the VCA’s output. Rotate the knob to the left and the sound will move towards the left

Delay BigSeq2’s Delay effects block contains a simple but versatile stereo delay. It can be used for both tempo-synced echo/repeat effects and modulat

The SEND knob controls how much of the signal entering the Delay effects block actually passes through the delay itself. The input signal is always se

Filter The Filter effects block contains a filter (not surprisingly) with several different modes. The FREQ controls the cutoff frequency of the filte

frequencies above its cutoff frequency without alteration. As you rotate the frequency knob clockwise, the signal loses its lower frequencies and the

The Frequency Shifter block has four knobs. The first knob, SHIFT, controls how much the signal’s frequency is shifted. This knob has a range of -800H

Routing As we’ve mentioned previously, the six signal processing blocks in BigSeq2 can be arranged in any sequence. The Routing panel near the bottom

Modulation BigSeq2’s power lies in its modulation features—that is, the manner in which its Modulation Sequencers can control (modulate) the parameter

If a modulation slider is moved to the right of center, the Modulation Sequencer’s output is added to the value set by the parameter’s knob. The furth
