Tempinator_Dependence

This module is a dynamic 8-step tempo sequencer that serves as an expansion of Tempinator. Each step's tempo can depend upon a previous step's tempo. In other words, it implements metric modulation.

For the purposes of understanding tempo relationships, think of the following: the duration of x beats of the new tempo is the same as y beats of the dependence tempo.

(D) Hold – Sets the amount of beats made before moving to the next step
(E) Rate – Fine tunes the speed of the tempo

Lights

(3) Sequence Steps – Indicates the output step, active steps, and innactive steps
- Output Step: bright green light
- Active Step: dim green light
- Innactive Step: off light
(4) Edit Step – Indicates which step's values are being edited
(5) On/Off – Indicates the state of the edit step
(B) Dependence – Indicates which dependence mode is selected

Buttons

(6) Left – Move edit step to the left
(7) On/Off – Turn edit step on or off
(8) Right – Move edit step to the right
(C) Dependence Selector – Choose what beats the new tempo depends on

Balance

This module sets an occurance limit on three signals. If one signal reaches its limit, it won't be output again until the other two signals have reached their limits.

To set this module to two-signal balance mode, set Knob (9) to 0.
