Modcan Touch Sequencer Manual - Power Connections and Touch Functions

Sep 11, 2026

Upload by Bintang

Modcan Touch Sequencer Manual outlines the device power connections and the touchscreen workflow for transporting, editing, and arranging sequences. It explains optional 5V rail usage, ground and voltage wiring, and how touching specific on-screen regions opens menus, switches functions, and selects individual rows. The manual covers song arrangement chaining, random and sync behavior, slider-based control of pitch, gate, and slew, naming utilities, quantization, scale building, and performance-oriented operation using internal, MIDI, or external clock modes.

Modcan Touch Sequencer Manual Normal 12V operation Only if +5V rail is available +12V Remove big resistor if using with PSU with 5V rail +5V (optional) GND -12V } Jumper TOP VEIW +5V (optional)+12V } GND -12V Power Connections Transport Page Touch Functions Selecting here brings up the menu Change the BMP here by touching to select and inc/dec with the encoder Tapping in this area toggles the RANDOM function for each of the rows independently. In INT clock mode the SYNC jack can also be used to globally switch on/off the Random function Touching these areas jumps to one of the 4 rows for editing of pitch, gate, note etc. for each of the sequences in the song chain. (unlike the solo editing below) (if on pulse switches off, If off it switches it on) . Tapping in the last box of each row allows the user to disable the RANDOM SYNC jack feature (See above) Touching this row “solos” each of the individual sequences in the song and allows them to be edited. Touching the Xs in each of the chain slots “solos” each of the individual sequences in the song and allows them to be edited. Same as when tapping on the Sequence bar on the Main Page for the individual rows. Tap in this area to re-name the song Switch to enable/disable individual ROWs Tap to change song using Encoder Song Arrangement Page Selecting here brings up the menu Tap in these areas to select the sequences from 0-99 to be chained into a song. Use the encoder to change the values. Selecting these boxes in each of the chain slots allows the number of repeats to be set between 0-31. Tap it then change the value with the Encoder. If set to 0 the sequence will not play and the song will cycle back to the beginning when it reaches the slot. Main Menu Main menu for navigating to the pages of the sequencer. Tap the screen lightly to select areas. The screen will respond to the selection when the stylus,finger etc is lifted from the screen.

Tap in this area after editing text to return to previous page Backspace removes characters from the right Clears the Name text field Keys for entering characters into text field. When the page launches the position of the cursor is to the right of the last character in the field. Characters can be added or backspace can be used to clear characters. To clear all text select CLR. Row Viewer Page Selecting here calls up the main menu and also indicates which sequence is active Selecting these buttons switches between the ROWs for editing Selecting here calls up the main menu and also indicates which sequence is active Slider Editors Select this area to edit Pitch Sliders Select this area to edit Note Length Select this area to edit Gate Duration Select this area to edit Slew Amount Selecting in this area returns to the Row Viewer page (see above) Indicates active Row Draw slider values in this area of the screen. Also tapping on a slider will put it into focus and then the Encoder can be used to enter values. This is especially useful with Quantization “OFF” to set micro values as sliders have only 48 steps of resolution. Indicates the value for each slider (notes for pitch) Note Duration vs Gate Duration | Note duration is the length of each step
Gate duration is the length of time the Gate is high for the step

FAQs

What power rails are required for safe operation, and how is the optional +5V rail handled?

The manual specifies normal 12V operation only when the +5V rail is available. It also notes +5V can be optional and advises removing a big resistor when using a PSU that provides a 5V rail.

How do the touchscreen areas control row selection, random, and sync behavior?

Selecting the touch areas brings up menus and switches functions. Tapping in the RANDOM area toggles Random for each row independently, and in INT clock mode the SYNC jack can globally switch Random on or off.

How are sequences chained into a song and how are repeats controlled?

Use the Song Arrangement Page to select sequences from 0-99 to be chained, changing values with the encoder. In each chain slot, repeats can be set between 0-31; if set to 0, the sequence won’t play and the song cycles back when the slot is reached.
