NOTES
Steps & Pulses
The following examples assume that an audio device, DAW or instrument is
connected as the sound destination. Also that bank and pattern to edit have
already been chosen prior to selecting the track and creating a pattern.
Note that editing a Euclidean pattern will only change the pulses generated
by the Euclidean pulse option. Manually added pulses will not be affected
when editing using the (PULSES) function.
▌ CREATING A BASIC EUCLIDEAN PATTERN - STEPS / PULSES
1. Press [BANK] to ensure the ‘home’ mode is in focus.
2. Select a track. Press [VBx], where ‘x’ is the value button that represents
the desired track. Example, Press [VB1] to select Track 1.
3. Set the number of steps. Turn (STEPS). This will also temporarily
display the state of the pattern whilst editing. Alternatively, Hold
(STEPS) + Press [VBx] where ‘x’ is the last step in the step count,
represented by the value buttons.
• Press (STEPS) Twice, will retain the step sequence view even when
the control knob is released.
• Just turning (STEPS) adjusts the number of steps. Any existing
euclidean pulses are redistributed equally.
4. Generate Euclidean pulse events. Turn (PULSES). This will also
temporarily display the state of the pattern whilst editing. Each rotation
click clockwise will add a pulse and each rotation click anti-clockwise
will remove a pulse. Pulses are distributed evenly across the steps.
• Press (PULSES) Twice, will retain the pulse sequence view even
when the control knob is released.
• Just turning (PULSES) adjusts the number of Euclidean pulses.
• Holding [PATTERN] while adjusting (PULSES), or by holding
(RANDOM) + (PULSES) will only adjust the value if one or more
pulses already exist on the track. If no pulses exist, additional
pulses cannot be added and the random value cannot be adjusted.
5. Play the pattern. Press [PLAY]. Press again to stop playback. Press
[PLAY] again to re-start playback from the beginning.
