Fast answer
Use ADVANCE to move the stopped sequencer one step at a time. TRIGGER deliberately replays the current step; the patchbay has the same distinction between TRIGGER and ADV/CLOCK.
Try these checks
- Stop the sequencer and note which step LED is lit.
- Press TRIGGER: it should replay that step. Press ADVANCE to select the next step, then trigger again.
- For external stepping, consult ADV/CLOCK and the voltage specifications before making a patch. Do not substitute TRIGGER and expect it to advance.
Diagnose it
Are repeated hits coming from TRIGGER?
Yes: That control repeats the current step by design.
No: Check whether the intended advance control or clock input is being used.
What should happen
ADVANCE changes the selected step; TRIGGER auditions it without moving.
Why this happens
EDGE exposes separate trigger and advance functions.
If it still doesn’t work
Check the connections and settings described above. If your device behaves differently, email us with its model, firmware version and the steps you tried.
