The 8-Step Program from Electro-Harmonix is an analog expression/CV sequencer pedal that connects to the expression pedal input of many different types of effects pedals, keyboards, and other devices. The 8-Step Program replaces your expression pedal, controlling parameters such as oscillators, filters, and delay 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.
Set your tempo with the Rate slider or Tap Tempo footswitch, or sync to a drum machine or DAW via MIDI clock. Six Tap Tempo Divide modes provide rhythmic diversity. Add the optional 8-Step Program Foot Controller (available separately) and save up to 100 presets.
- 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 ¼” TRS (stereo) cable for expression control. Use a standard ¼” TS (mono) instrument cable for CV control (0-5V)
