Available edit controls:

• Bass drum [Decay, Tune, Tone, Level] The bass drum can be programmed in two different lengths per pattern. It also offers and individual output.
• Snare drum [Noise, Tone, Level] – Rimshot [Level] Snare drum and rimshot cannot be played simultaneously. However, they can be used in the same pattern. Both instruments share the same individual output.
• Clap [Attack, Filter, Decay, Level] The parameters allow setting the width and fullness of the clap sound. This sound also has its proprietary individual output.
• Tom/Conga [Tune, Decay, Level] This sound source can be switched between Tom and Conga instruments. Sounds programming allows setting of three different pitches.
• Cowbell [Tune, Decay, Level] – Clave [Level] Tune for Cowbell controls a detune-effect, while the pitch is set commonly with Cymbal and Hihat. Cowbell and Clave cannot be played simultaneously. However, they can be used in the same pattern.
• Cymbal [Tone, Decay, Level] Tune sets the pitch for Cymbal, Cowbell and Hihat
• Open/Closed Hihat [Decay, Level] Open and Closed Hihat cannot be played simultaneously. However, they can be used in the same pattern. This sound source offers and individual output.

The step-sequencer allows programming of 72 basic patterns plus 72 fill-ins. The latter being associated to the basic pattern memory location, resulting in a two-bar-pattern when using the fill-in. Patterns can be combined to eight songs that each hold a user-definable sequence of up to 64 patterns. In addition to the instruments, a global accent-track is available. When set, the corresponding step will be played with a higher or lower volume-setting in comparison to the standard level. The MFB-522’s sequencer offers three different steps of shuffling. A stereo output will carry all instruments minus those where individual outputs are in use (bass drum, snare drum/rimshot, claps and Hihat). Using the MIDI-In, drum-sounds can be played with a keyboard or external sequencer. Here, the sound sources act velocity sensitive. Finally, MFB-522 can be synchronized to incoming MIDI-clock.

The MFB-522’s dimensions are: 175 x 125 x 38/72 mm. The unit ships with a 12 volts power-supply

k4d4w3r в 2013 году красиво все объяснил по теме:
Секвенсор для этого модуля так и не был сделан Рмифом.
Вход Din5 промаркированный как секвенсор на самом деле представляет из себя просто сведенные в 1 вход четыре тригерных входа. Так что никакого миди. В сети достаточно вариантов схем для самосборки midi2trigger переходников. в теории любой из них подойдет, надо будет только подстроить чувствительность блока синтеза к тригеру, это можно сделать одним из подстроечников на плате синтеза. Самой коробочки midi2trigger бояться не надо, она намного проще нежели любой midi2CV поскольку там не нужен в целом DAC. думаю что простенький драм секвенсор можно и на базе ардуины какой сделать, поскольку управление модулем будет аналогично тому что бы зажеть светодиод. сам тригер это будет просто примерно 5мск пульс амплитудой от 0 до +5 вольт. где то так... как я уже говорил значения надо будет подобрать.
