"In this video we want to show you State of Mind's SEQ (Sequencing) engine.

SEQ moves through your saved snapshots. What is a snapshot? A snapshot holds all four channel voltages at the time you saved them, and State of Mind keeps eight of them. Put them in any order and SEQ plays them in a loop.

How it gets from one snapshot to the next is up to you, jump straight to the next, glide, or morph slowly across the whole step, with eight shapes to choose from. The rate runs from one step every twenty seconds for slow modulation to twenty steps a second, and the speed control pot is tapered so most of its travel covers musical tempos. Add swing and play forward, in reverse, back and forth, or in random order. You choose!

Every channel can go its own way. Give each channel its own clock division, its own shape and its own swing, so a bass line can move every four steps under a melody that moves on every one. Each channel also has its own gate pattern and gate length control.

Scenes take things even further. A scene saves all eight snapshots together with their sequence, tempo, shapes, swing, clock divisions and gate patterns, and State of Mind holds eight scenes. Switch scenes while it plays, and the change waits for the end of the loop, or chain them in any order to make a sequence of sequences.

In this patch, State of Mind controls the pitch of two oscillators, one playing the lead and one the bass. All four of the lead oscillator's waveforms go through Permida, and State of Mind chooses which one plays when. The bass goes through Shape Mod, and State of Mind moves the wave shaper's CV with a continuous shape, so its tone morphs smoothly from step to step.
