Tête + Tetrapad Manual
For example, assume you created a 4|16 pattern on Tetrapad (4 pulses in a 16-step length).
Since only 12 pulses are needed to reach the maximum value of 16 (¾ of the 16 pulses added
by +5V), only 3.75 V are needed to maximize the number of pulses.
● Euclid Steps ​ : Uses the voltage at the CV input to vary the length (number of steps) in a
euclidean pattern (as discussed in ​ Combo Mode: Euclidean ​ ).
The changes occur in real time, altering the euclidean rhythm and creating movement in your
rhythms.
At -5V, 64 steps are subtracted from the pattern length currently assigned on Tetrapad’s panel
(bottoming out when the length decreases to a single step). At +5V, 64 steps are added to the
pattern length currently assigned on Tetrapad’s panel (max’ing out when the total length hits
64 steps).
For example, assume you initially created a 16 step pattern on Tetrapad. Since only 48 more
steps are needed to reach the maximum value of 64 (¾ of the 64 steps added by supplying
+5V), only 3.75V are needed to maximize the number of steps (length).
● Euclid Rotation ​ : Uses the voltage at the CV input to rotate the current patterns forward or
backward in time.
The changes occur in real time, creating movement in your rhythms.
At +5V the pattern shifts later in time by the current length of the Euclidean sequence. At -5V,
the pattern shifts earlier in time by the current length of the Euclidean sequence.
For example, assume you initially created a 1|4 pattern on Tetrapad (1 pulse in a 4-step
length), and that the single pulse plays on the “1.” At 1.25V (¼ of 4 step length), the pulse
rotates to the “2.” At 2.5V, it rotates to the “3,” and at 3.75V is rotates to the “4.” At 5V, it
rotates back to its original location on the “1.”
