Tête + Tetrapad Manual
The assignment choices for Inputs X, Y and Z are as follows:
● - (off) ​ : Any signal patched into the corresponding CV input jack is ignored.
● Reset* ​ : An input trigger patched into the corresponding CV input jack causes the current loop
to reset to the beginning.
● Run* ​ : A +5V gate is required in order for the current Loop to play. Tête must be in a play state
(the ​ PLAY ( ) ​ button is solid green) in order for the Run feature to work. A loop will run for as
long as a +5V signal appears at the jack, and will pause when the signal drops back to 0V.
● Looper* ​ : With this assignment, Tête’s Looper looks to the corresponding CV input to define a
loop’s start time and length (rather than using the internal or external clock). In addition, this
assignment redefines
​ Loop Length ​ (as set in the Mode Setup menu) as the “number of cycles
between TRIG inputs,” rather than the “number of cycles between clocks.”
● Tggl Loopy* ​ : An input trigger patched into the corresponding CV input jack toggles ​ Loopy
playback on/off.
● Gate Loopy* ​ : An input gate patched into the corresponding CV input jack turns ​ Loopy ​ on/off.
When the gate is high, Loopy is on. When the gate is off, Loopy is off.
● Loopy Length ​ : If the ​ Loopy ​ feature is engaged, then a CV patched into the assigned jack will
modify the Loopy length. At 0V, Loopy is set to its minimum length. At +5V, Loopy plays at its
maximum length. Values in between scale the Loopy Length accordingly.
● Loopy Shift ​ : If the ​ Loopy ​ feature is engaged, then a CV patched into the assigned jack will
shift Loopy’s start point forward or backward. Positive voltages shift Loopy’s start point later in
the recording (wrapping around to the beginning when you shift Loopy’s start point past the
end of the recording). Negative voltages shift Loopy’s start point earlier in the recording
(wrapping around to the end when you shift Loopy’s start point past the beginning of the
recording).
● Slew ​ : CV input continuously controls the Slew rate. Positive voltages increase the slew from
its current amount. Negative voltages decrease it. Note that you cannot set slew rates less
than ‘instantaneous’ nor can you set slew rates longer than those available on Tetrapad itself.
● Slew (CLK) ​ : Similar to the ​ Slew ​ option, except CV control is not continuous. Rather, the
incoming CV is sampled by the clock (using either the internal clock or an external clock
patched into Tête’s
​ CLK ​ input), and is held until the next clock. This enables you to
synchronize slew rate changes to a clock.
● Slew (Trig) ​ : Similar to the ​ Slew ​ option, except CV control is not continuous. Rather, the
incoming CV is sampled on the leading edge of any signal patched into an input ( ​ RESET ​ or
TRIG ​ ) that’s assigned to the “ ​ Mod Trig ​ ” function in the CV Setup Menu. It is then held until the
next trigger. This enables you to synchronize slew rate changes to an external trigger source.
