The T-1 Notebook : Reference & Guide

Steps

Euclidean pattern generator - number of steps.

Velocity / Probability

Base velocity of notes. Secondary function adjusts the
note filter based on a chance.

Pitch / Harmony

Keyboard style pitch application and transposition of
notes. Secondary function for harmonic transposition.

Length / Quantize

Track and loop length. Secondary function for
quantization of current pattern with respect to transport.

Top Row 1 - 8

Represent tracks 1-8 and illuminate to visualise
selected function. Functions are dependant on mode.

Play / Stop

Transport control for pattern.

Temp

Hold and turn a parameter to temporarily change its value.

Shape

Groove

Tonal

Setup

Value Buttons

General

Performance Buttons

Pulses / Rotate

Euclidean pattern generator - number of note pulses.
Secondary function sets / shifts starting point of pattern.

Sustain

Note length adjustment.

Scale / Root

Scale of the track. Secondary function sets the root note.

Tempo

Project tempo from 24bpm - 280bpm, default 120bpm.

Bottom Row 9 - 16

Represent tracks 9-16 and illuminate to visualise
selected function. Functions are dependant on mode.

Clear / Copy

Clear tracks, patterns or parameters. Copy using
secondary option.

Mute

Hold along with a value button to mute the selected track.

Cycles

Edit parameter lock automation settings.A cycle
contains a setting for each of T-1 parameters.

Accent / Groove

Adds a velocity variation to notes. Secondary option
introduces a velocity groove character.

Channel / Output

MIDI Channel between 1-16. Secondary function,
‘output’ is not currently implemented.

Ctrl

Hold to access secondary options for other buttons.

Pattern / Select

Selects pattern view. Select pattern with value button.
Silently select pattern when using secondary function.

Repeats / Offset

Number of note repeats added after each pulse.
Secondary function applies velocity ramp for repeats.

Division

Euclidean pattern generator - note interval value of each
step of the pattern.

Timing / Delay

Microtiming asymmetrical stretch across the beat grid.
Secondary function introduces a +/- track ‘delay’ offset.

Random / Rate

Randomization amount of parameters in the sequence.
Secondary function is sequence modulation playback rate.

Bank / Save

Selects bank view. Select bank with value button. Save
bank state using secondary function. Also used as the
Exit / Home function to revert to default mode.

Time / Pace

Adjusts note interval value of repeats. Secondary
function adjusts repeat acceleration / deceleration.

Voicing / Style

Adjusts order of inserted notes in the pitch menu.
Secondary option for arpeggiator style.

Range / Phrase

Range of pitch modulation. Based on LFO’s and shapes.
Secondary function to select modulation shape.
