Does it include musical scales?
Yes, it includes 9 different scales plus a chromatic option to help with melodic composition.
What are the playback options?
The available playback modes are: repeating, reverse, ping-pong, and random.
What is the size of the module?

What signals does it output?
It outputs Control Voltage (CV) for pitch and Gate signals for timing.
Troubleshooting
No CV or Gate output
Verify the ribbon cable is correctly connected to the module and the Eurorack power supply. Ensure the module is powered on and a sequence is active. Check that the output is patched to a receiving module.
Sequences are not saving
Ensure you are following the correct procedure for saving patterns. Consult the manual for the specific save command. If issues persist, consider a factory reset if available.
Unexpected notes or timing
Check the selected scale and ensure it's the intended one. Review the per-step gate values and playback mode settings. Ensure the CV output is not being influenced by other modules unintentionally.
Module does not power on
Double-check the ribbon cable connection, ensuring it's oriented correctly (-12V). Confirm your Eurorack power supply is functioning and providing adequate power.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely compact 3HP size, ideal for space-constrained Eurorack systems.
- Generous pattern memory (16 patterns) for live performance versatility.
- Precise per-step gate control adds dynamic depth to sequences.
- Integrated scales simplify melodic composition and ensure harmonic coherence.
- Multiple playback modes (repeat, reverse, ping-pong, random) offer creative flexibility.
Cons
- Limited display can make advanced editing less intuitive.
- Can be challenging for beginners due to the dense feature set in a small module.
- Requires understanding of Eurorack and CV/Gate concepts to fully utilize.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The PICOSEQ is a Eurorack module and requires a compatible Eurorack case with a power supply. Connect it to your case's power distribution using the provided ribbon cable, ensuring the red stripe aligns with the -12V connector. Patch its CV and Gate outputs to the corresponding inputs of your sound sources or other effect modules.
Compatibility: This module is designed for the Eurorack modular synthesizer standard. It outputs standard Eurorack CV (0-10V typically) and Gate signals, making it compatible with most other Eurorack modules from various manufacturers.
Care: Keep the module free from dust and moisture. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Ensure proper ventilation within your Eurorack case to prevent overheating.
