1. Display: This display shows Rhythm Wolf's tempo or other relevant values described in
this guide.
2. Tempo: Turn this knob to adjust Rhythm Wolf's global tempo ( 20 – 300 BPM or beats per
minute). The number will be shown in the display. You also use this knob to perform other
operations such as setting bass synth note values, swing amount, or pattern length.
3. Tap: Press this button at the desired rate to enter a new tempo. Rhythm Wolf will detect
the new tempo after three taps.
4. Shift: Press and hold this button to access the secondary functions of certain buttons.
5. Step Switches: Press these buttons to enter or erase a step/note from the pattern.
Press and hold Shift to access their secondary functions:
•
Synth Oct -/+: Use these buttons to shift the bass synth's "keyboard" (the Step
Switches in Record Performance Mode) one octave up or down.
•
1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32: Use these buttons to select the pattern's time division (i.e., the
note value of each Step Switch ). When holding Shift , the Step Indicator above the
current time division will be lit.
•
Triplet: Press this button activate or deactivate Triplet , which turns the time division
into triplet-based one (except for 1/32 ). When holding Shift , the Step Indicator
above this button is lit when activated.
•
Swing: Press this button and then turn the Tempo knob to adjust how much swing
is applied to the pattern. At 50 , no swing is applied. At 75 , the pattern is entirely
swung. (This is identical to Akai Professional MPCs.)
•
Rec Step: Press this button to enter Record Step Mode. See the Record Step
Mode section of this guide to learn more. When holding Shift , the Step Indicator
above this button is lit when in this mode.
•
Rec Perf: Press this button to enter Record Performance Mode. See the Record
Performance Mode section of this guide to learn more. When holding Shift , the
Step Indicator above this button is lit when in this mode.
