SETUP
This button accesses the SETUP MENU, which contains numerous settings that apply across all
tracks, and are typically not changed during a performance. Below is a table showing all the
SETUP MENU functions and their possible values.
FUNCTION
CHOICES DESCRIPTION
Clock
Internal
Metropolix uses its own internal clock, which runs at the tempo set in the BPM
field (accessed via the
BPM
button).
External
Metropolix uses an external clock patched into its
CLK IN
jack.
Reset Input
Reset
Metropolix uses a trigger signal patched into its
RESET
jack to reset the
sequencer. When the trigger goes high (> 1.5 V), the sequence resets.
Run
Metropolix uses the gate signal patched into its
RESET
jack to start and stop
the sequencer, rather than using it to reset the sequencer. When the gate is
high (> 1.5 V), the sequence runs. When the gate is low, it stops.
Bottom Pitch
C
Assigns a C note to the bottom of the PITCH SLIDER, regardless of the scale
being used. NOTE: if the current scale does not include a C note, then the
bottom pitch will be the first in-scale pitch above C.
ROOT
Assigns the current scale’s ROOT note (chosen via the
SCALE
button) to the
bottom of the PITCH SLIDER.
Init Preset...
With this function highlighted, click the encoder to load an initialized preset,
which restores all Track and Stage-level parameters back to their original
settings — giving you a clean slate with which to build a new sequence. This
does not overwrite your global SETUP parameters, so they will continue to
function as assigned. If you ever want to restore ALL settings back to their
factory defaults, use the
Factory Reset
.
