META

The master rack's ruling sequencer — MASTER-ONLY, with up to EIGHT tracks that reach out into the tabs (tracks says how many it carries; five to begin with). The tracks share one clock but each keeps its own length, division and play mode, so they drift into polymeter. Every track puts out THREE signals side by side — V/OCT (the melody), a GATE (to clock or one-shot a SEQ, or strike an envelope) and VEL (the step's level, for a VCA) — and each step carries RATCHET, PROBABILITY, HOLD, SKIP, micro-timing OFFSET and, on a polyphonic track, STRUM: the chord struck as a hand across the strings, low-to-high or high-to-low, rather than as a block. Program it in its own full-screen view; patch the track outputs like any other cable.

inputs

Down the left edge of the card, top to bottom.

clktrigger
Advances one step per rising edge — and the beat it measures is what the ratchet subdivides.
resettrigger
Back to step one.

outputs

Down the right edge, in the same order.

1:1vpitch
Track 1 v/oct — the step's degree as pitch.
1:1gtrigger
Track 1 gate — fires on each hit.
1:1acv
Track 1 velocity — the step's level (0..1). Patch to a VCA cv for dynamics.
2:1vpitch
Track 2 v/oct.
2:1gtrigger
Track 2 gate.
2:1acv
Track 2 velocity (0..1).
3:1vpitch
Track 3 v/oct.
3:1gtrigger
Track 3 gate.
3:1acv
Track 3 velocity (0..1).
4:1vpitch
Track 4 v/oct.
4:1gtrigger
Track 4 gate.
4:1acv
Track 4 velocity (0..1).
5:1vpitch
Track 5 v/oct.
5:1gtrigger
Track 5 gate.
5:1acv
Track 5 velocity (0..1).
6:1vpitch
Track 6 v/oct (add the track with tracks).
6:1gtrigger
Track 6 gate.
6:1acv
Track 6 velocity (0..1).
7:1vpitch
Track 7 v/oct (add the track with tracks).
7:1gtrigger
Track 7 gate.
7:1acv
Track 7 velocity (0..1).
8:1vpitch
Track 8 v/oct (add the track with tracks).
8:1gtrigger
Track 8 gate.
8:1acv
Track 8 velocity (0..1).
9vpitch
The 9th voice's v/oct. Which TRACK it belongs to depends on the voice counts — a polyphonic track's extra voices follow its own, so this is track 9's pitch when every track is mono, and an earlier track's extra voice when one has gone poly. The card labels it with the track and voice it is currently carrying.
9gtrigger
The 9th voice's gate.
9acv
The 9th voice's velocity (0..1).
10vpitch
The 10th voice's v/oct. Which TRACK it belongs to depends on the voice counts — a polyphonic track's extra voices follow its own, so this is track 10's pitch when every track is mono, and an earlier track's extra voice when one has gone poly. The card labels it with the track and voice it is currently carrying.
10gtrigger
The 10th voice's gate.
10acv
The 10th voice's velocity (0..1).
11vpitch
The 11th voice's v/oct. Which TRACK it belongs to depends on the voice counts — a polyphonic track's extra voices follow its own, so this is track 11's pitch when every track is mono, and an earlier track's extra voice when one has gone poly. The card labels it with the track and voice it is currently carrying.
11gtrigger
The 11th voice's gate.
11acv
The 11th voice's velocity (0..1).
12vpitch
The 12th voice's v/oct. Which TRACK it belongs to depends on the voice counts — a polyphonic track's extra voices follow its own, so this is track 12's pitch when every track is mono, and an earlier track's extra voice when one has gone poly. The card labels it with the track and voice it is currently carrying.
12gtrigger
The 12th voice's gate.
12acv
The 12th voice's velocity (0..1).

knobs

Left to right across the face — the dials in the picture.

tracks1 … 16= 5
How many tracks this META carries, 1–16. Each one is three sockets (v/oct, gate, vel), so it opens with five and grows as you ask for more; the tracks past the count keep their patterns and simply have no outputs.
