CV1 AND CV2 RANGES
The upper range of each CV part can be limited using the CV1 and CV2 Range settings. The Values
parameter defines the max number of values each CV part can produce. Values can range from 1-64. These
settings are useful when you want to confine CV values to a specific range, especially when using Evolve,
Phi, or Randomization. Values settings of 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 will be ideal when using a CV to control
Pitch.
Range selection can be adjusted using the Parameter knob, Switch A(-) or Switch B(+). Pressing the TAP
switch will reset the Range value to max setting of 64.
CV1 AND CV2 SCALES
Each CV output can be quantized to one of 29 musical scales. You can choose a different scale for CV1 and
CV2.
Scale selection can be adjusted using the Parameter knob, Switch A(-) or Switch B(+). Pressing the TAP
switch will default to the Chromatic scale.
In the Chromatic scale each value entered into a CV part selects a different semitone. For instance, if a CV
value of 0 is equal to C, 1 is equal to C#, and 2 is equal to D. If instead you select Major as the Scale type, a
value of 0 will produce a C, a value of 1 will also produce a C, and a value of 2 will produce a D. Therefore if
a CV value does not exist in that scale, it will play at a lower note value that does exist in the selected scale.
MASTERLOOP
Masterloop defines the number of bars the sequencer will play before forcing a restart of playback, and will
also generate a Reset pulse output at the Clock jack.
Masterloop range can be set to OFF, meaning playback for all parts and loops is free-running, and Reset
pulses will no longer occur at the Clock output jack. The Masterloop range can further be set to a value from
1-64 bars. The Masterloop parameter can be adjusted with the Parameter knob, Switch A(-) or Switch B(+).
When using Switch A(-) or Switch B(+), the loop value will change in multiples of two since these are the
most common musical choices.
Pressing the TAP Switch will manually force an internal restarting of parameters.
MIDI CHANNEL
The MIDI Channel parameter defines the MIDI channel the TRAX will send MIDI data OUT when using the
optional MIDI BUS product. In addition, when Sync Type is set to INT or MIDI and playback is stopped, you
can also use the MIDI Channel parameter to select MIDI TO CV along with channels 1-16. The MIDI
Channel can be adjusted using either the Parameter knob, Switch A(-), or Switch B(+).
Notice that this parameter can be adjusted from NO to 1-16. When NO is selected, no MIDI data will be sent
out. A selection of 1-16 will send MIDI data OUT on the selected MIDI channel. Make sure the device you
are sending MIDI to is set to receive data on the same MIDI channel. Once rotated past MIDI channel 16, the
parameter name will change to MIDI TO CV, and you can select channels 1-16 as the MIDI input channel to
convert.
Pressing the TAP switch will reset the MIDI Channel to NO, so that no MIDI will be transmitted.
NOTE:
You can change the MIDI channel selection on the fly while the sequencer playing, to redirect note
data to different voices or sound modules. When the sequencer is stopped you can change the MIDI TO CV
channel on the fly to look at and convert MIDI to Trig and CV1 and CV2 outputs. A MIDI note-on will
generate a Trig out, the pitch of that note will be generated by CV1 output, and the velocity of that note will
be generated by CV2.
