Mimetic Digitalis
XY step sequencer optimized for live use with four individually editable CV outputs and a trigger out. Steps can be manually programmed or live-recorded via encoder. Supports up to 16 saveable patterns, undo, zero, and shred functions.253
Capabilities 1
- CV Sequencer (Chain)cv-sequencer
- Four-channel XY CV step sequencer with 4x4 grid, Cartesian navigation inputs, CV position control, and up to 16 saveable patterns.253
Jacks 10 — 8 in / 2 out
| Name | Signal | Voltage | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inputs (8) | |||
| CV N | cv | 0V to 5V | CV control over step position across the entire 16-step range.253 |
| CV X | cv | 0V to 5V | CV control over step position within the current row only (horizontal axis).253 |
| CV Y | cv | 0V to 5V | CV control over step position within the current column only (vertical axis).253 |
| N | trigger | — | Advances to the next step in the full 16-step progression.253 |
| O | trigger | — | Advances to the origin (step 1).253 |
| R | trigger | — | Advances to a random step.253 |
| X | trigger | — | Advances to the next step in the current row, moving only horizontally.253 |
| Y | trigger | — | Advances to the next step in the current column, moving only vertically.253 |
| Outputs (2) | |||
| 1-4 | cv | 0V to 5V | Four selectable, individually editable CV outputs.253 |
| T | trigger | ≤6V | Outputs a trigger each time Mimetic Digitalis advances a step.253 |
Parameters 8
| Name | Type | Range | Behavior |
|---|---|---|---|
| Channel Selectors 1-4 | button | — | Toggle buttons to select or deselect channels for editing. Double-tap to solo a channel. If none selected, encoder has no effect.253 |
| Edit | knob | 0V – 5V | Encoder sets CV values for selected channel(s). Turn for fine adjustment; push and turn for coarse values. Encoder is detented to assist with tuning. All edits recorded on the fly in Run mode. Outputs are not quantized.253 |
| Load/Save | button | — | Stores up to 16 pattern slots (all 4 outputs together). Hold button and use encoder to select slot; tap encoder to confirm. Loads last saved state after power cycle.253 |
| Shred | button | — | Assigns a random voltage value to the current step. Hold down to shred multiple steps.253 |
| Step Selectors | button | — | Manual buttons (Next, X, Y, Rand, Origin) to advance steps in specific directions. Work in both Run and Stop mode.253 |
| Stop/Run | switch | — | In Stop mode, pauses on current step for tuning; continues tracking clock. In Run mode, advances one step per trigger and live-records encoder edits.253 |
| Undo | button | — | Reverts all encoder changes to the last loaded pattern state.253 |
| Zero | button | — | Zeros the CV value for the current step. Hold down to zero multiple steps.253 |
