Tête + Tetrapad Manual
Using Crossfaders
1. Slide a finger up and down a pad, just as if you were moving an actual crossfader.
Alternately, you can simply tap a pad anywhere along its vertical scale and the crossfader will
jump to that level directly (using a slew rate you define, as discussed below). Crossfaders
return to their null values when you lift your finger (unless you latch them by pressing the pad’s
encoder).
Tetrapad uses the crossfader’s vertical position to determine how much voltage to send to the
pad’s left and right output jacks, in accordance with the crossfade type (discussed above). The
intensity of each Output Status LED indicates the amount of voltage being sent to the
corresponding output jack. The LED lights at maximum intensity when the jack is outputting its
maximum voltage level.
2. If you want the crossfader to latch, press the pad’s encoder.
Latched crossfaders are indicated by a blue Pad Status LED. When a crossfader is latched, it
remains at the last level touched. When a crossfader is unlatched (the Status LED is off), it
snaps back to its center value when you release it.
3. If you want to nudge a latched crossfader toward one output or the other, rotate the pad’s
encoder when Tetrapad is not in Shift mode (red SHIFT LED is off).
You can only nudge latched Crossfaders when the Looper isn’t playing.
4. To set a crossfader pad’s output voltage, press Tetrapad’s red SHIFT button (lighting the red
SHIFT LED), then rotate the pad’s encoder to cycle between 1V, 2V, 3V, 4V and 5V.
Tête’s screen indicates the maximum voltage value as you set it.
