Tête + Tetrapad Manual
● LFO Sync: ​ (On, Off)
On ​ : Any Combo Mode pad assigned as an LFO will synchronize its LFO rate to Tête’s
clock (which can be either internally generated or synchronized to an external clock via
Tête’s CLK input), as discussed in
​ TEMPO Menu ​ . When synchronized, touching a pad
in the middle sets an LFO rate equal to the clock rate. Touching higher multiplies the
clock rate — up to 32x at the highest vertical position. Touching lower on the pad
divides the clock rate — down to 1/32 at the lowest vertical position.
Off ​ : Any Combo Mode pad assigned as an LFO will ignore Tête’s clock and the vertical
position of your finger on an LFO pad will vary the frequency directly, with a touch in
the middle producing a 1Hz (1 sec cycle) LFO. Touching at the bottom slows the rate to
16.6667mHz (60 sec Cycle); while touching at the very top outputs a 100 Hz (10ms
cycle) LFO. Touching between these extremes scales the rate accordingly.
● LFO Reset: ​ (No, Reset, Loop/Seq)
No ​ : Any Combo Mode pad assigned as an LFO will run freely, and the phase will not
reset.
Reset ​ : LFOs will reset their cycles when a Reset signal is detected. In order to be
detected, a Reset signal needs to be assigned to a Tête input jack (such as the RESET
jack or the TRIG jack).
Loop/Seq ​ : Any Combo Mode pad assigned as an LFO will reset its cycle at the
beginning of a recorded loop. Similarly, if a Loop is stopped and you press Tête’s PLAY
button, the LFOs all reset.
● Euclidean Swing: ​ (50%, 54%, 58%, 62%, 66%, 70%, 75%, 78%)
Sets the amount of swing to apply to the beat of any Euclidean pad. Swing adds a
delay to every other beat (thus, causing it to ‘swing’). Tête’s swing percentages match
those available in the Steppy module, and also conform to the MPC “standard” (with
the addition of 78%).
