3.5 Steps, Pulses & Rotate - Basic Euclidean Patterns
Shape Section
The shape section is the primary area for the pattern generation
parameters and is where a melodic or beat driven pattern cycle is created.
At this point, these parameters control the patterns ‘linear note’ structure
and the pitch based elements are applied later using other parameters.
There are 8 physical push knobs, some of which provide dual control of
primary and secondary parameters and can be pressed to view the
parameter status on the value buttons.
This section concentrates on four of the most basic shape parameters;
Steps, Pulses, Rotate and Division. The Rotate parameter is accessed as
the secondary parameter using the [CTRL] button along with Pulses.
Pulses and Rotate are controlled by the same physical knob. Rotate is the secondary
function accessible using [CTRL].
