UTILITY MICRO SEQUENCER
MODEL OF 1960
SALUT
Thank you for purchasing the
Xaoc Devices product. The
Tirana module comes in handy
as a classic step sequencer,
modulation source, voltage
bank, arpeggiator etc., serv-
ing as the utility module for
supporting other sequencers,
but it also shines on its own
terms. Due to smart features
to be described in this manual,
Tirana provides a number of
very interesting possibilities,
and turns out to be surpris-
ingly powerful module, while
preserving the ease of use
and minimal real estate in
the system. It is only 6hp, and
therefore a perfect solution for
compact and portable modular
setups, but can empower just
any system to a great extent.

jumper on the
mains in place (for single unit
operation; for multiplied setups
read the instructions further
down in the manual). Now plug
in the ribbon cable to the bus
board, observing the red stripe
orientation. Tirana has been
secured against reversed power
connection but it is always a
good habit to pay attention to
this. Mount the screws and turn
your system back on.

CONTROLS & OPERATION
In order to operate, an external
clock needs to be fed to the
clock input
pulse from a LFO or any clock
generator of choice. Steps will
now be played subsequently in
a loop. Adjust the desired pitch

available as usual.
The sequence direction can be
changed by feeding a trigger

The sequence can be also
transposed (offset) by providing control voltage into the
