Requirements

To complete this tutorial learners will need to have the following:

  • The software application VCV Rack installed
  • Access to the Internet
  • An account created on www.vcvrack.com
  • Fundamental plugins installed

Difficulty

This tutorial is at an Beginner level.

Description

Learn how to operate the three Rows in SEQ-3.

SEQ-3 gives us a unique output for each of the three Rows. By connected to these we can send out our unique VC signals for each row. Along with the unique CV signal SEQ-3 outputs a common Gate signal.

Learn how to use SEQ-3 for Frequency Modulation.

Each of the dials in each of the Rows can be used to manipulate and oscillator. Each dial can be set to a specific position which in turn will alter the pitch of a connected oscillator. Choosing specific pitches in a row will allow you to create a melody. This can be achieved by connecting the ROW output to the V/OCT input of an oscillator. The raw signal from these dials will change the pitch but not adhere to a tonal center. You can use a module like JW Mondules' Quantizer to organize the control voltage signal into a tonal center for making music.

Learn how to connect multiple systems to SEQ-3.

SEQ-3 allows us to output separate sounds from each of the three rows. That can be used to create interesting polyphony. I show how this is done in the video tutorial.

Learn use Control Voltage to manipulate SEQ-3.

Using a module such as an LFO we can control various functions of SEQ-3. Clock Reset and Steps can all be controlled using Control Voltage. In the video tutorial I provide instruction on how this can be done.
