The O.T.Te.R. is a unique and versatile 8-step pattern generator style sequencer. It is driven from an external clock fed to the Clk In jack, or from its own internal clock source. In addition, there is a Clk Out that is a copy of the Int/Ext clock being used.
Each of the rotary switches (A, B, C) allow you to select a clock division of the master clock signal, which influences the order and regularity of the generated pattern. Alternatively, you can select an external source for each of the encoders (at the jacks labeled Logic A, Logic B, Logic C) that override the clock division. Each input jack works best with gate signals of at least +2V.
The Inhibit input will mute all steps of the sequence while there is a gate present. Likewise, a gate at the Reset input will reset the internal clock back to zero. Reset only affects the A, B, or C switches not using external timing signals.
The O.T.Te.R. also features a CV Shift input that can be used to offset the voltage (either positive or negative) produced at the CV Out jack. This can be used to momentarily transpose the CV generated for more variety.
Each of the sliders changes the output voltage of that step from 0-10V. Each step lights up to signify when it is the active step in the pattern. The module is capable of running at audio rate clock signals, which can produce an FM-like effect when paired with a VCO.
