Slew Between Fader Settings
If you prefer to tap a fader (rather than drag it) or if you choose to latch a fader, you’ll appreciate the
ability to set the rate at which fader values move from one touched level to the next.
1. Hold down the red SHIFT button and rotate the pad’s encoder to set its slew rate.
Clockwise turns increase the time it takes to move from one fader value to another (up to a
maximum of about a minute to move between min/max levels). Counterclockwise turns
decrease the amount of time it takes to move from one fader value to another (down to
“instantaneous”).
Slew times are indicated by a red Pad Status LED above the fader — with an LED glowing
increasingly brighter as the slew gets longer. Since latched faders cause the Pad Status LED
to turn blue, slew rates applied to a latched fader cause increasing amounts of red to mix with
the blue LED, ultimately resulting in a purple LED at maximum slew rate.
Additionally, when a fader is slewed and Tête is in SHIFT view (SHIFT LED is red), then a
small “S” appears to the right of the fader icon on Tête’s display.
NOTE: Unlike Notes Mode or Voltages Mode, any slew applied to a pad in Combo Mode gets added
before any CV-able Offsets/Level changes or voltage quantization.
Quantizing Fader Values
Fader values can be quantized to output voltages that conform to a chosen scale. To do so:
1. Press Tetrapad’s red SHIFT button to display Shift View.
The red Shift View LED will light.
2. Press a pad’s encoder to toggle fader quantization on/off.
When a fader is quantized, its left Output Status LED turns blue, indicating the jack contains
pitched voltages. In addition, a small “Q” appears to the right of the fader icon in Tête’s display.
3. On Tête, press the ​ SETUP ​ MODE ​ button to display the Mode SETUP Menu.
4. Turn Tête’s encoder to select the ​ Scale ​ and ​ Scale Root ​ options, and set them to the desired
values as discussed in ​ Combo Mode SETUP Menu ​ .
5. Press the ​ SETUP ​ MODE ​ button again to exit the Mode SETUP Menu and return Tête to its
default display.
6. Drag your finger up/down the fader and the left jack will now output pitched values conforming
to the selected Scale and Root.
NOTE: Unlike Notes Mode or Voltages Mode, any quantization applied to a pad in Combo Mode
happens after any CV-able Offsets/Level changes or slewing.
