Five12 Vector Sequencer Bedienungsanleitung

User Guide

Vector Sequencer

The Vector Sequencer is a digital sequencer in the Eurorack modular

format. It provides a flexible sequencing engine with support for 8

independent parts. There are 2 sub-sequencers per part for internal

modulation, an extensive set of chance operations, and presets with a

playlist function. The Vector has both MIDI and CV outputs for interfacing

with a wide variety of electronic musical instruments.

An optional Jack Expander module adds support for 4 more analog

voices (Pitch, Gate, Velocity), 8 more trigger inputs (6 can also be used

for input), MIDI in and out on DIN jacks, and dedicated jacks for DIN Sync

(in and out).

Installation

Take the Vector out of its protective anti-static bag and have a look at

the back. The 16-pin power connector is on the lower- right of the circuit

board and is labelled 'Power'. Connect a 16 pin Eurorack power cable if

you have not already, red stripe DOWN per usual.

If you have the Jack Expander module, you should connect it to your

Vector before adding them to your case. Lay both the Vector and the

Expander face down in front of your case, with the Expander just to the

left or the right of the Vector. Identify the two 20 pin connectors on the

Vector labelled 'J20' and 'J13'. On the Expander, the matching

connectors are 'J130' and 'J200'. Using the two ribbon cables that

come with the Expander, connect J20 to J200 and J13 to J130. Make

sure to keep the orientation of the red strip UP for these connections.

Now add the Vector (or Vector/Expander combo) to your Eurorack

format case. Don’t forget to power down first! The Vector consumes

140mA on +12V, 20mA on -12V. The Expander adds 30mA on both +12

and -12. Anything plugged into the USB A ‘to device’ jack may draw

additional current on +12V. Most controllers (including Launchpads) pull

less than 100 mA, but a cellphone or tablet may pull up to an additional

210 mA.

setup in Globals.

Front Panel Tour

For your first sequence, connect the Pitch1 and Gate1 outputs of the

Vector to other modules in your system, such as an oscillator for pitch

and an envelope generator for gate. If you want to connect via MIDI,

use one of the included 3.5mm to DIN MIDI adapters to connect

MIDI-1 on the Vector to a MIDI synthesizer.

Now press Gate on the Vector and turn a few encoders to turn on the

gates for those steps. By default, all of the gates for all parts are off, so

we need to turn at least one on to hear something. Press Run to start

the sequence. Now you are ready to start exploring the other edit

pages.

The most common parameters for sequence editing are accessed via

the Pitch, Gate, Velocity, Len/Rpt and Ratchet buttons. Repeated-

ly pressing those buttons will cycle into secondary pages such as Glide

and Groove. Each page has a distinctive graphic value readout that

makes it easy to keep track of where you are. Use Next & Prev to edit

steps other than the first 8.

Pitch:Sets the pitch value for each step in semitones from C1 to C9.

Glide:For monophonic parts, sets the glide time for pitch from 0% to

100%. Use longer gate times for smooth glides.

Chord:For chord-based parts, sets the output chord, from Unison

through all dyads to an octave, then triads and seventh chords. To set a

part to chord mode, see Parts on page 11.

Gate:Sets the gate time for each step, from muted, to very short, up to a

tied (legato) note. When the gate is off, no MIDI notes are generated.

Groove:Adjusts the time of the step forward or backward just a touch.

Velocity:Sets the velocity CV output level and MIDI note velocity.

CC1, CC2, CC3:Sets the output value for three lanes of MIDI CC outputs.

If a CC number is set for a lane (see Sequence Controls on the next

page), a CC message is generated for every sequence step.

Step Len:Sets the length of a step in multiples of the base step time.

Repeat:Sets the step to repeat up to 8 times.

Ratchet:Sub-divides the step up to 4 times.

Pitch Gate Velocity Len/Rpt Ratchet

Sequence Editing

The Sequence Control pages have overall settings for the sequence,

such as sequence length and rate. There are three sub-pages here, press

Control to cycle between them.

START, LEN: Sets the starting step and pattern length within the

maximum sequence length for that part.

DIR: Direction: Forwards, backwards, alternate with or without repeating

the ends, or run randomly.

RESET: Sets the sequence to reset automatically, every n beats, or

externally (EXT). For external reset, use 'Cr/1' sync mode, or set a

trigger input on the Expander module to 'EXT' mode in prefs and pick the

matching Txvalue for reset.

RATE, MODE: Set a sequence rate using common musical divisions

(MDV), percent of a beat (PCT), speed mode (SPD), where higher is

faster, or any fraction from 1/1 to 16/16. If you have an Expander, you

can set the mode to T1-T6 to step manually via an external trigger. Be

sure to set the matching trigger to EXT mode in Globals.

Oct & Trans: Add a fixed octave or semitone transposition to all notes.

Sequence Controls: Page 2

Vel Var, Tim Var: Add random variations to velocity and timing (groove).

Key, Scale: Override the global settings for key and scale.

TIP: The master tempo for the Vector, and the default key and scale

settings for all parts are in Globals.

Gen: Sets the algorithm for pattern generation. See Generate & Evolve

on page 8 for details.

Evo: Set the amount of change the evolve operation has: Low, Medium or

High.

Sequence Controls: Page 3

CC 1-3: Sets the CC numbers for the three CC lanes in the Velocity pages.

PQNT: Preset Quantization, sets whether presets change immediately, on

the next beat, or on the next bar.

Control

Sequence Controls

The Globals pages have a wide range of configuration settings for the

Vector. There are three main sections: GENERL, PARTS, and ROUT-

ING. Use Next/Prev to move between them. Use encoder 9to move

among the sub-pages of each section.

TEMPO, SYNC, KEY: Set the global tempo, sync mode, key and

scale. This is also where you turn the Preset Playlist on and off. For

more on sync, see External Sync on page 14.

MIDI SYNC OUT: MIDI Clock on/off for all MIDI outputs.

FILE SETTINGS: Preferences for Autoload and Autosave.

USB STATUS: Connection status for both USB ports. To connect an

iOS device, use the Camera Connection kit and the USB B ‘to host’

connector.

PARTS: See Parts on page 11 for more on these settings.

ROUTING: For each of the outputs on the Vector Sequencer you can

set which part it listens to.

CV OUT: These are for sets of Pitch, Gate, & Velocity outputs– two

onboard the Vector, four more on the Expander. Use the encoders to

select which part each output is assigned to. For Chord parts, hold Shift

and twist the encoder to set the voice. For Velocity outs, Shift & twist to

assign it to one of the sub-sequencers of a part.

RUN, CLOCK, RESET: When not used for sync input, these jacks can

generate clock CVs across a wide range of divisions. The Reset jack can

also be set to EXT for external reset. Use STx, GTxand RSxmodes to

output step triggers, gates or sequence resets directly from a part.

J-EXP TRIGS: These are set to output clock divisions by default. The first

6 triggers can also be configured as EXT inputs for externally resetting or

stepping a sequencer. When using RC24, CR/1 or Cr/1 sync modes,

triggers 5 & 6 on the Expander can only be used as outputs.

MIDI, USB: Each MIDI Output (USB A, USB B, MIDI-1, MIDI-2 and

Expander MIDI Ports) has 8 ‘slots’ to output up to all 8 parts. Shift &

twist an encoder to set the MIDI channel for that slot.

Global

Globals, Tempo, Routing

On the Rec page, you can enter or modify sequences using the built-in

one octave keyboard, any USB MIDI Class-compliant host or device, or,

if you have the Jack Expander module attached, a MIDI keyboard

connected via a traditional 5-pin MIDI cable. When a recording mode is

active, the LED next to the Rec button glows red (for step record) or

purple (for other modes).

Pitch values for the sequence are displayed in a compressed

format on the left display, with parameters for adjusting the recording

mode and source on the right. Only currently active notes for the

sequence are displayed. So if your sequence starts on step 1 and runs

for 8 steps, only eight note values will be shown. Skipped or muted

notes are displayed in gray.

The right OLED display shows paremeters for recording mode and

source.

The recording modes are:

OFF: No recording activity.

STEP: MIDI notes are used to program the pitch values for each step of

the sequence one by one. Use encoder 9to move the ‘cursor’.

TRANS: Incoming MIDI notes are used to transpose the sequence.

MIDI Note number 60 is used as the center point.

THRU: Incoming MIDI notes are sent directly to the outputs for the

current part, both CV and MIDI. In this mode, you can use the Vector

as a MIDI 2 CV converter while recording is active.

The Src param sets which source of MIDI notes the record modes listen

to.

VKBD: The one octave keyboard on the Vector.

USBA: The USB A ‘to device’ connection.

USBB: The USB B ‘to host’ connection.

JEXP: The DIN MIDI jack on the Expander.

When using the onboard keyboard, the Next and Prev buttons shift the

keyboard up and down by octaves. The current octave is always shown in

the top-middle of the first OLED display.

Rec

Recording

Chance operations allow you to add variability to a pattern, such as

randomly skipping or muting a step, jumping to another step, or changing

the pitch. For each step in a sequence, you can pick an operation and the

probability that it will happen. You can also set the operation to happen

only on even bars, odd bars, or every 3rd or 4th bar.

Chance operations are represented by icons. Their probability of

occurring ranges from 0% to 100% and is represented by a circle around

the operation icon. The bar setting is represented by a letter or number

below and to the right of the operation icon.

There are three pages for chance ops, use the Chance button to cycle

between them.

CHANCE OP: Pick an operation.

CHANCE PROB: Set the probability that op will happen.

CHANCE BAR: Limit the operation to specific bars.

Examples:

Skip a Step, Un-Skip a Step

Mute a Step, Un-Mute a Step

Jump: Backwards, Anywhere, Forwards

Velocity: Less, More, Max

Gate: Shorter, Longer, Tie

Ratchet: 2, 3, 4

Pitch Up: Random, Random Shift Up,

Shift Up by Semitone

Jump backwards, 50% of the time,

only every 4 bars.

Mute, 30% of the time.

Pitch Down: Random Shift Down,

Shift Down by Semitone

Jump: To a Specific Step

...

Chance

Chance Ops

Sequence Operations

A variety of sequence transformations can be triggered by holding down

the Shift key and pushing any of the white keys on the mini keyboard.

The names for these operations are printed vertically just to the right of

each button.

Dbl:Doubles the current pattern.

Inv:Invert all pitches.

Gen:Generates a new sequence.

Evo:Modifies (evolves) the current sequence. Set the amount of

variation on the 2nd Control page.

Sh-L:Shifts the sequence one step to the left.

Sh-R:Shifts the sequence one step to the right.

Mute:Mutes the current part. This is the same as muting a part

on the Part page.

Clear: Restores all parameters of a sequence to their original value,

and marks the current preset as 'empty'.

TIP: Hold Shift and press any the edit mode buttons to 'normalize' that

parameter, which will reset it to its original value.

Generator Algorithms

To set the algorithm used for sequence generation look at the 2nd

Control page.

ACD1: Acid 1: Generates a 16 step sequence at 1/16th notes with a

variety of pitch tones, including minor seconds and tritones. Gates and

Velocity steps are set to %50, and then a few accents (Velocity @ 100%)

are added.

ACD2:Acid 2: similar as ACD1, but adds in a few pitch glides.

BRL1: Berlin School 1: Generates an 8 step sequence at 1/8th notes,

emphasis on octaves and fifths.

357:Generates a 'cell' based pattern that is 3, 5 or 7 steps long,

repeated out to 16 steps.

OBL1:Obliq 1: Generates a cell based pattern that anywhere from 2 to 7

steps long, repeated out to 16 steps. Affects Pitch, Gate, Velocity & Step

Length.

OBL2:Obliq 2: Generates a more ‘sparse’ pattern than OBL1.

RND1:Randomize Pitch & Gate.

RND2:Randomize Pitch, Gate, Velocity.

RND3:Randomize Pitch, Gate, Velocity, Step Length, Ratchet, Sequence

Length and Rate.

TIP: Most of the pattern generators only affect a few parameters, usually

just Pitch, Gate and Velocity, so you can push them in different directions

by pre-adjusting other parameters, such as glide, step-length, or mutes.

For even more variation, use Chance Ops on individual steps.

Shift

Sequence Ops, Generate & Evolve

In addition to the main sequence, each part on the Vector Sequencer

has two simpler CV-only sub-sequencers for internal modulation. These

sequencers are limited to a maximum length of 8 steps and a range of

speeds based on standard musical divisions. They can be used to

modify the transposition, rate, length and other parameters of the main

sequence. You can also assign any of the Velocity outputs on the

Vector to one of the modulation sequencers for direct output of the sub

sequencer's CV values.

There are five pages in the Mod section, two for each sub-sequencer

and one for setting up external modulation. The first page for a

sub-sequencer has settings for length, direction, rate and target

parameter, the second has settings for the value of each step.

To setup modulation of a param:

1. Set the length and rate of the sub-sequence.

2. Pick the parameter you want to modulate. The Min & Max values

will automatically update to match the range of the target parameter.

Also, the initial values of the sub-sequence will be set to the current

value of that parameter.

3. Press Next to page over to the steps for the sub-sequence and adjust

as desired.

TIP: To route the values of one of the subsequencers to a CV output,

jump over to the Route page in Globals to assign the sub-sequence to

an output.
