Faders

Wave bank

Click a wave to give it to the selected step (orange), or to every selected step. Click a step on the timeline, or a fader, to select it. Steps can also sit between two waves, which morphs them.

Presets

Presets live in this browser. Loading one sends it to the card if one is connected. The card itself keeps nothing over power-off.

Inputs & outputs

Inputs
Audio In 1	Linear FM, depth set by X (switch middle) times each step's FM amount
Audio In 2	Wave scan, up to ±32 waves, at audio rate; depth set by Y (switch middle) times each step's scan amount
CV In 1	Pitch, 1 V/oct, added to the Main knob
CV In 2	Speed, 1 V/oct
Pulse In 1	Clock: each step lasts its TIME fader's number of clocks (1-8), for clocks up to 20 s apart. Followed from the second pulse; back to the speed knob once four periods (at least 2 s) pass without one
Pulse In 2	Restart from the first step
Outputs
Audio Out 1	The wave sequence
Audio Out 2	The wave sequence, detuned by 6 cents (more with the 8mu tilted left or right)
CV Out 1	The step's pitch offset, 1 V/oct (0 V for none), gliding with the Glide page
CV Out 2	The step's level, following the crossfade, 0 to 5 V
Pulse Out 1	A gate for each step, its length set on the Gate page: off, a fraction of the step, or tied into the next
Pulse Out 2	Trigger at the start of the sequence

8mu

The 8mu can plug into the module (no computer needed) or into this computer, which passes it on to the card. Its eight faders edit one bank of eight steps; its buttons are acted on when you let go, so how long you hold one decides what it does.

Short press	The page: A Wave, B Time, C Pitch, D Level. Press the same button again for its second page (A FM, B Scan, C Glide, D Gate), and again to flip back.
Long press (½ s)	The bank the faders edit: A steps 1-8, B 9-16, C 17-24, D 25-32. The LED of fader 1-4 for that bank flashes three times.
Hold + move a fader	The last step: the button is the bank, the fader the step within it. Hold D and move fader 8 for 32 steps; hold A and move fader 4 for 4. Move it a good way (about a sixth of its travel) for it to count. The faders up to the last step light briefly, and nothing is edited.
Faders	Pick up: after a page or bank change a fader does nothing until it reaches (or passes) the stored value, so nothing jumps.
LEDs	The stored values on the page, the playing step fully lit, steps past the end dark.
Tilt	Forward and back scans every step's wave; left and right detunes Audio Out 2. Both gently smoothed.

How it connects

The card picks its USB mode at power-up. 8mu plugged into the card: the card reads it directly and this page isn't used. Computer plugged into the card: the card appears as a MIDI device called Wave Sequencer, and an 8mu plugged into this computer is passed on by this page. After plugging a computer in, power-cycle the module.

Help

Use Chrome, Edge or another Chromium browser. Safari and iOS browsers can't do WebMIDI with SysEx.
Press Connect card & 8mu and allow MIDI with SysEx when the browser asks.
8mu buttons A-D (or the tabs) choose the page; a long press chooses the bank, and holding one while moving a fader sets the last step (see 8mu above). Faders pick up: one does nothing until it reaches the stored value (the dashed line shows where the 8mu's fader is while it waits).
On-screen faders: drag, or focus one and use the arrow keys. Double-click resets one.
Direction: tap the module’s switch down to step forward, ping-pong, random, or use the buttons here.
The module’s X and Y knobs: switch up = speed and crossfade, middle = FM and wave scan amounts.
Tilting an 8mu plugged into this computer scans the waves and detunes Audio Out 2, as it would on the card.
Without a card the page still edits, previews and keeps presets; the playhead is then simulated at 1x speed.
