I have an eurorack version of the Ground Control sequencer. How can I get the case for it? HERE.
When I press play my sequencer doesn't start running? It seems the sequencer is set to external master clock. Press Tempo > K and select Int or Jack from the list.
After the update I have some notes skip even the probability is set to 0? I have some weird behaviour in general. How can I make a factory reset? After the important updates theere might be some issues for the new file format transfer. If you can - simply delete that project from SD card or only its settings - sequencer will recreate those new files without any bugs. If you wish to make a factory reset - simply format the SD card in your computer and the sequencer will create new files if you save a new project.
How do I know which firmware runs on my Ground Control sequencer? Enter the menu with TEMPO>M(midi)>N and you will see the firmware number on the screen (e.g. 2.00)
Rainbow cable pinout. Side red/brown pair of pins always correspond to -12V similar as with typical gray ribbon cable.
