Serge Rhythm / Dual VCA / :N

The Serge Rhythm Module (RHYTHM) combines 3 beat oriented modules:

RHYTHM is a special step sequencer that allows to create (808-style) pulse patterns by setting 8 switches. When a clock providing 16th steps is sent in, the first (top) switch determines whether the 1st (Switch: UP) or 2nd (Switch: DOWN) or neither (Switch:CENTER) of these 2 steps is sent to the (main) OUT. Similarly, the 2nd switch controls the 3rd and 4th step (16th) and so on.

The steps controlled by the odd-numberd switches (#1, #3, #5, #7) are also sent to the ODD output, the others to the EVEN out. This way EVEN and ODD out can be used 2 trigger 2 different envelopes or similar.

STEP 1 always provides the 1st step of the 16(th) sent in - irrespective of where the switches are, i.e. this output can be seen as marking a bar.

3 additional inputs allow for variation: RESET forces the step sequencer to start agin, UP / DOWN changes direction and HOLD prevents the module from advancing, however lets the beats go through if the current step is acive - this allow some nice "machine gun" effects.
