Pitch Post ±
Turning the knob clockwise from the noon position increases the pitch of
all stages on the destination track(s)
after
the quantization stage. This
means it’s possible (and likely) that you will hear pitches that do not
conform to the selected scale. Turning the knob counterclockwise from
the noon position decreases the post-quantization pitch values.
Pitch Pre ±
Turning the knob clockwise from the noon position increases the pitch of
all stages on the destination track(s)
prior t
o quantization. This means the
pitch changes will also be quantized, and all pitch outputs will conform to
the selected scale. Turning the knob counterclockwise from the noon
position decreases the pre-quantization pitch values.
Play Order
Turning the knob directly changes the ORDER screen’s
PLAY ORDER
on
the destination track(s).
Prob ±
Turning the knob clockwise from the noon position uniformly increases
the probability values of all stages, up to 100% probability for all stages.
Turning the knob counterclockwise from the noon position uniformly
decreases the probability values of all stages, down to 0% probability for
all stages.
Pulse Count ±
Turning the knob clockwise from the noon position increases the pulse
count (as set by the
PULSE COUNT
switches) for all stages. Turning the
knob counterclockwise from the noon position decreases the pulse count
for all stages. With the knob at the noon position, stages play for the
number of pulses set by the
PULSE COUNT
switches.
Pulse Div
Turning the knob directly changes the DIV screen’s
PULSE DIV
value on
the destination track(s).
Pulses Len
Turning the knob directly changes the LEN screen’s
PULSES
value on the
destination track(s).
Ratchet ±
Turning the knob clockwise from the noon position uniformly increases
the ratchet counts of all stages (up to a maximum of 8). Turning the knob
counterclockwise from the noon position uniformly decreases the
probability values of all stages (down to ‘no’ ratcheting).
Root
Increase the root note of the current scale on the destination track(s).
NOTE: Only the root note’s pitch name (not its octave) is considered.
Skip Invert ±
Turning the knob clockwise from the noon position causes the SKIP state
of each stage to invert, such that any previously skipped stages are
played, and any previously played stages are skipped. Turning the knob
counterclockwise from the noon position results in normal (uninverted)
SKIP playback. “Skip Invert” is a convenient way to set up and trigger split
