SEQ-3 gives us a unique output for each of the three Rows. By connected to these we can send out our unique VC signals for each row. Along with the unique CV signal SEQ-3 outputs a common Gate signal. ![row outs.jpeg](https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1516721026/i9cravvz1jkpckco33fu.jpg) # Learn how to use SEQ-3 for Frequency Modulation. Each of the dials in each of the Rows can be used to manipulate and oscillator. Each dial can be set to a specific position which in turn will alter the pitch of a connected oscillator. Choosing specific pitches in a row will allow you to create a melody. This can be achieved by connecting the ROW output to the V/OCT input of an oscillator. The raw signal from these dials will change the pitch but not adhere to a tonal center. You can use a module like JW Mondules' Quantizer to organize the control voltage signal into a tonal center for making music. ![dials.jpeg](https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1516721047/k4aqjwbd9ztsoi7d4iox.jpg) # Learn how to connect multiple systems to SEQ-3. SEQ-3 allows us to output separate sounds from each of the three rows. That can be used to create interesting polyphony. I show how this is done in the video tutorial. # Learn use Control Voltage to manipulate SEQ-3. Using a module such as an LFO we can control various functions of SEQ-3. Clock Reset and Steps can all be controlled using Control Voltage. In the video tutorial I provide instruction on how this can be done. ![cv control.jpeg](https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1516721066/pwgsrrwgp8fzg7qriom4.jpg) VCV Rack is an open source application, which means that it is free for everyone to use.
