The SCS-V is an 8-step, externally clocked voltage sequencer. When externally clocked, the steps will advance on each rising edge of the incoming clock signal. The number of steps per sequence can be set from 1 to 8, and the sequence can be reset and held with the S1 IN input. The S1 IN is level-sensitive, meaning any voltage above approximately 3V will keep the sequencer on step 1 until the input voltage drops below 3V. The S1 OUT behaves similarly, outputting 5V on step 1 and 0V on every other step. A loop button lets the sequence run in a continuous loop or as a 1-shot.
The real power of the SCS-V comes with the addition of the Rain City sync bus. This is a common bus connected behind the panel and uses a clock along with a start signal to control all modules connected to it. It is fed by the Rain City SCS-C, which allows an external reset and clock signal to be fed into the bus. With this additional connection, the step length can be adjusted musically from 1/32nd note to 1/4 note with a ppqn24 clock, or from 1 to 8 clock pulses with any other type of clock. Voltages are your friend with the SCS-V, offering both continuous and chromatically quantized outputs. This allows the SCS-V to be used for both modulation and pitched output. The SCS-V is simple but powerful, and its power grows exponentially with the number of modules. With multiple SCS-Vs, multiple parameters can be sequenced simultaneously, and longer patterns can be built with the addition of the SCS-S Dual Sequential Switch
