What the Square Stepper can do
The Square Stepper has 8 oscillators that can be turned on or off individually with the corresponding switches. The sequencer will run through the steps even when they are turned off, you just won't hear them. You can select the amount of steps the sequencer will run through with the 'step' dial. It has 12 positions, from 1 to 8 steps, and then 1 to 4 again, allowing you to change quickly from a large amount of steps to a small amount! The 'sequencer speed' dial changes the overall tempo of the sequence. In the top range of the 'speed' dial you can get frequency modulation type sounds. This works best if the pitch dials for each step are set reasonably high. There are photosresistors on steps 1 and 5, which can be turned on individually to work in conjuction with the pitch pot. You can then change the pitch of these steps by either blocking, or letting in more light, like a theremin! When the sequencer is running fast, and you switch through the steps with the 'step' dial you can create interesting arpeggios that way too! Due to variables between components, the pitch range on each dial may vary slightly."
