Think of the 8-STEP as replacing your expression pedal, controlling parameters in a sequential fashion rather than continuously as you normally do with an expression pedal. Additionally, the 8-STEP can be connected to devices that have Control Voltage (CV) inputs Features Sequence length is selectable between 1 and 8 steps Four available Direction Modes: Forward, Reverse, Bounce and Random Depth and Glide of the sequence output is encoder adjustable Tap Tempo Footswitch allows you to set the tempo with your foot and can be divided down for faster tempos from the same tap tempo Three available Play Modes: Loop, 1-Shot and Step-Thru (Manual) Reset Footswitch instantly resets the sequence back to its beginning Expression In allows external control over Rate, Depth, Glide or Sequence Length Expression In doubles as an External CV Clock input allowing the 8-STEP to be synced to an external clock MIDI IN jack allows the 8-STEP tempo to be synced to MIDI Clock Full MIDI control over every parameter on the 8-STEP Comes supplied with a TRS cable for expression control. Use a standard ¼” TS instrument cable for CV control (0-5V) Save and load up to 10 presets. Add the optional 8-STEP FOOT CONTROLLER to save and load up to 100 presets WATCH: Electro-Harmonix 8 Step Program Demo
