Preparing the starting step
Manufacturer documentedThe sequencer begins on the step after the highlighted one. To begin at step 1, prepare it with step 8 highlighted before pressing RUN.
External triggering
Manufacturer documentedIf the sequence plays but an external controller does not produce sound, check the selected step's velocity. Moog specifically advises raising that step's velocity.
External clock input
Manufacturer documentedMoog identifies ADV/CLOCK as the input for external clock. Consult the source equipment's documentation before making a patch; this reference does not establish voltage or converter compatibility.
