Tête + Tetrapad Manual
● Looper Sync: ​ (Off, On)
On ​ : Synchronizes Tête’s recording length to the clock (internal or external) or to a
TRIG signal (if defined in the CV Setup menu), meaning recording commences ‘on the
beat,’ and it stops ‘on the beat.’ Looper Sync works in conjunction with the
​ Loop
Length ​ setting, which follows it in SETUP Menu. The entire process is described in
Record & Play with Looper Sync ​ , later in this manual.
NOTE: If you assign one of Tête’s CV inputs (such as the TRIG input) to “Looper” in
the
​ CV Setup Menu ​ , then the Looper will sync to the pulse present at the TRIG input,
rather than the Clock.
Off ​ : Turns off Looper Sync, meaning recording starts and stops the instant you press
the ​ RECORD ( ) ​ button (unless ​ Record Wait ​ is set to ​ Touch
​
).
● Loop Length: ​ (n) ​ (Available if Looper Sync = On)
This parameter is available when ​ Looper Sync ​ is ​ On
​
. Use it to set the desired loop
length (expressed in ‘number of beats’) for your recording. If you select a number, then
Tête will automatically record for that number of beats. If you select “-”, Tête will begin
recording on the beat, but will record for as long as you like, stopping on the first beat
after you stop recording. The entire process is described in
​ Record & Play with Looper
Sync ​ , later in this manual.
NOTE: If you assign one of Tête’s CV inputs (such as the TRIG input) to “Looper” in
the
​ CV Setup Menu ​ , then the Loop Length parameter is decoupled from the Clock, and
instead counts the number of pulses received at the TRIG input.
● Loopy Pos. Sync: ​ (On, Off) ​ (Available if Looper Sync = Off)
After ​ Loopy ​ has played back a series of sub-loops, playback of the full-length Loop or
Sequence is resumed. The precise position at which playback resumes is determined
by this parameter. Specifically:
On ​ : When you exit Loopy playback, the playhead will snap to the position it would have
been in had you not activated Loopy. Note that when ​ Looper Sync ​ is ​ On
​
, then ​ Loopy
Pos. Sync ​ is automatically turned ​ On ​ , and cannot be turned off.
Off ​ : When you exit Loopy playback, the playhead will continue from its current position
within Loopy’s sub-loop.
Both of these options (and their effect on either Looper or Sequencer modes) are
discussed in
​ Position Sync with Sequences ​ and ​ Position Sync with Loops ​ , later in this
manual.
