Berlin School 960 Sequencer - Step Inputs/Outputs

Описание к видео Berlin School 960 Sequencer - Step Inputs/Outputs

This demo shows how to use the step inputs and outputs to control which steps in the sequence are played. This is a classic Tangerine Dream technique to break the monotony of playing the same 8 steps repeatedly.
I'm using the Swiss Daisy DSP as a virtual analog voice with delay. The controls I'm adjusting are the wet/dry mix, the envelope to VCF amount and the VCF cutooff frequency.
The simplest example of using the step in/out would be to take the step out from step 5 and connect it to the step in on step 1. This would result in the first four steps being played. (i.e. a reset to change the sequence length from 8 to 4 steps).
In order to quickly repatch to select the step out and step in, I have used a dual 4:1 selector switch, the Frequency Central 'Where" module:

(no, I'm not paid for this link).
The top switch selects the beginning step; the bottom the ending step.
If the ending step number is BEFORE the beginning step number, the sequence skips the "ending" note and jumps (forward) to the "beginning" note.
One other wrinkle, the "step out" stays high for the entire step duration. I have turned this 100% "gate" into a trigger by running it through an A/D envelope (which is not visible in this video). The patching is 960 Oscillator (clock) out to A/D gate in to Swiss Daisy DSP gate in.
One other note, I'm using sequencer row three to adjust volumes at each step.

It is impossible to see the patching of the "Where" switches in the video. The following documents the "Where" to Step In/Out patching:
Top Rotary Switch
Input
1 - from Bottom output (white)
Outputs
1 - Step 2 In (blk)
2 - Step 7 In (green)
3 - Step 3 In (blk)
4 - Step 5 In (red)
Bottom Rotary Switch
Inputs
1 - n/c (i.e. let it run for all 8 steps)
2 - Step 1 Out (blk)
3 - Step 4 Out (blk)
4 - Step 6 Out (blk)
Output
1 - to Top input (white) (see final note below)

One final note:
If you take a step output on the 960 and plug it into the trigger input of any step other than one, it won't actually trigger that step. It resets the sequence.
Update: For this to work as expected (jump to the step of the step trigger input), process the step out signal with an "OR" circuit. I used a Barton Musical Circuits "Dual Logic" module in OR mode. I tried buffered multiple, instead of the Dual Logic module it did not work.
