M*4's new Bit Trig Sequencer for Voltage Modular is a simple trigger sequencer which has a unique pattern generator. It consists of four lanes of 8-step trigger sequencer.
The module generates a sequence consisted of 8 steps of triggers when it runs the "Compute" function.
"Compute" function interprets the "Computational Value" as an 8-bit number and each "bit" of the number forms a state of a step in a sequence.
First (leftmost) step of the sequence is the 8th bit of the Computational Value and the last (most right) step is the 1st bit of the value.
The 8th bit becomes an indicator of the "sign" of the value if the Computational Value is a negative value. If you want to set a first step of the sequence "on", setting negative values to the Computational Value is an easier choice.
The range that the Computational Value can handle at a time is "±0 to +255" or "-127 to +127." Since the internal calculator changes its interpretation of the Computational Value automatically between "unsigned 8-bit variable" and "signed 8-bit variable", you don't need to worry about strict type of Computational Value.
