Slew Between Vertical Output Voltages
When you touch a pad at various heights, the output voltage normally jumps to the touched voltage
instantly. However, you can have Tête slew between voltage changes, at a user-determined rate.
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 vertical 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 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.
Additionally, when a Euclidean pad is slewed and Tête is in SHIFT view (SHIFT LED is red),
then a small “S” appears to the right of the Euclidean 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 Vertical Output Voltages
You can quantize the vertical position voltage to generate note values that conform to the scale
chosen in the Mode Setup Menu. This lets you use Euclidean/Drum mode to create melodic
sequences that evolve in real-time as you touch the pads at varying heights.
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 vertical output quantization on/off.
When the vertical position output is quantized, its right Output Status LED turns blue,
indicating the jack contains pitched voltages. In addition, a small “Q” appears to the right of the
Euclidean icon on 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.
Touching a pad at various heights will not generate note values from the pad’s right output that
conform to the chosen scale.
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.
