I probably use mine 10x more often as a controller. Use the step
trigger from KP to trigger envelopes. Use the different rows to program
VC parameters. The PRESSURE output can be fun, too, esp. if you adjust
it with a processor or processing input of the module you're
controlling. For example, using PRESSURE to modulate the 'growl' in VCM
#2, usually helps if you have a processor in the middle, to make the
growl more subtle.
Keep in mind, to use the TKB as a regular sequencer, you need to supply
it with a clock pulse. It doesn't have an internal clock. Patching up
1/2 a DSG (TRIG IN to GATE OUT) and multing another patch cord into TRIG
IN is usually how I create a clock. Then plug in the other end of the
2nd patch cord into CLOCK. Set the DSG rate to your taste.
The row of red jacks numbered 1-16 are trigger outputs. They go "high"
when that stage is selected. If you're doing a sequence of 16 steps,
you don't need to use these, but if you want to do fewer, then stick a
patch cord into the red numbered output jack one count higher than the
steps you want, then plug the other end into RESET. So, if you want a
repeating sequence of steps 1 through 7, patch 8 to RESET.
Random sequences can be produced by patching RANDOM and RESET together,
then sending your clock pulse in by multing another patch cord into
RANDOM or RESET. A random stage will be selected with with every clock
pulse.
