Moon Modular 569 Quad Sequential Voltage Source

The M569 is an analog step-sequencer with up to32 positions, arranged in four rows.
Each row can be controlled absolutely independentfrom each other, so that the user has practically up tofour separate sequencers at his disposal, each with itsown  clock- and reset-input jacks, and – at the sametime – different running directions (up, down, randomand “ping-pong“).
In addition the control voltage outputs can be switchedbetween three ranges (2 V, 5 V und 10 V, with the 2 V und5 V ranges supplying a (to 1/12 V) quantized outputvoltage.
Each step position has its own “step-mode“-switch totoggle the gate signal of the respective step positionon or off.
In the “Function“ position it (again separately for thefour rows) can defined as skip, reset or stop-command.

The sequencer modes in detail:
1 x 32
All four rows run in series to achieve sequences of up to 32 steps; only Reset Input 1 and Shift Input 1 are active then; as well as the switches Direction 1, Range 1 and Function 1.
With the Direction switch 2 in the Down or Random position the “ping-pong“-mode (up-down) isactivated.  All four gate- and voltage-outputs supplyan identical output signal.

2 x 16
Rows 1 and 2 run in series, as well as rows 3 and 4(1 & 2 and 3 & 4 in parallel), so up to 16 steps dividedin two sequences are possible here.
Reset Input 1 & 3 andShift Input 1 & 3 are active,just as the switches Direction 1 & 3, Range 1 & 3 and Function 1 & 3.
With Direction switches 2 resp. 4 in position Down or Random, the “ping-pong“-mode (up-down)is activated.
The gate-outputs 1 & 2, 3 & 4 and the control voltage-outputs 1 & 2, 3 & 4 supply each identical signals.

4 x 8
All four rows 1, 2, 3 & 4 run in parallel and independantlyfrom each other, all inputs, switches and jacks actseparately, the four outputs deliver their own signaleach. This is the “four-sequencers-in-one“ mode.

2 x 8-8
Sort of “preset-subset“ of the 4 x 8 mode.
All four sequencer-rows run always in parallel and instep, controlled by one common pair of shift- and resetcommands, just like a “four-channel-sequencer“.

1 x 16-16
Another “preset-subset“, this time derived from the2 x 16 mode.
The sequencer-rows 1/2 und 3/4 run always in paralleland in step, controlled by two common pairs of of shift-and reset commands, just like a 16 step “two-channel-sequencer“ – think ’stereo.
