NOTES
3.8 Length
The length parameter allows the reduction of the entire track length either
as a fixed adjustment or to create on the fly variations and loops. The
behaviour will of course depend on the total number of steps, especially
when reducing in full bar lengths.
▌ REDUCING THE TRACK LENGTH
1. Optionally lock the length view. Double tap (LENGTH). This is not
essential but is good practice. Just holding (LENGTH) will temporarily
view the state until the knob is released or timed out.
2. Value button state. The active length is displayed on a value button
illuminated WHITE ⬛ . The GREEN ⬛ Top row plus [VB16] Indicates
bar lengths and bottom row DARK GREEN ⬛ available bar sub
divisions. [VB9] is infinite which is the default setting.
3. The length reduction will be based on the total step count which must
be higher than the selected length in order to generate a reduced
playback length. The track will loop over the length.
4. To select a random start point for the current cycle, press [CLEAR]
while in length view. This creates glitch sequences. A random start can
also be set when changing length while holding [CLEAR].
