Tête + Tetrapad Manual
Using Euclidean Pads
When you assign the Euclidean function to a pad, many of its parameters are indicated by the pad
graphic on Tête’s screen.
● Length of Pattern: ​ Displays the overall length of the euclidean pattern in number of steps.
Adjust by press-turning encoder (in Normal, unshifted mode).
This parameter can be put under CV control by assigning the “Euclidean Steps” destination to
the X, Y, or Z CV inputs (as discussed in
​ CV Setup: Input X, Y and Z (Combo Mode) ​ . Press
Tetrapad’s red SHIFT button to display the post-CV value using inverted text.
● Number of Gates: ​ Sets the number of gates (pulses), which are spread as evenly as possible
across the overall length. Adjust by turning the encoder (in Normal, unshifted mode).
This parameter can be put under CV control by assigning the “Euclidean Pulses” destination to
the X, Y, or Z CV inputs (as discussed in
​ CV Setup: Input X, Y and Z (Combo Mode) ​ . In
normal view, the pre-CV value is displayed. To view the post-CV value, press Tetrapad’s red
SHIFT button, which inverts the text and displays the post-CV value.
● Current Step: ​ Shows the current step number as the pattern plays.
● Gate Indicator: ​ Visually indicates each gate as the pattern plays.
● Current Vertical Position Out Voltage: ​ Visual indication of the vertical pad position, which
varies the voltage sent out the pad’s right output. Output voltage can be quantized to a scale
(selected in the Mode Menu) by going into Shift Mode (Red button on Tetrapad), then pressing
the encoder. When the position output is quantized, positional changes will be quantized to the
pulses that are output, this avoids shaky pitch changes.
● Maximum Vertical Position Out Voltage: ​ Shows the voltage sent when the pad is touched at
the very top. Can be scaled from +1V (max) to +5V (max) by holding the red SHIFT button and
turning the encoder. This limits the overall voltage range of the pad, and can be particularly
useful when the output is quantized and used to play notes.
