touching the bottom of the pad would divide that clock by 32, resulting in a cycle nearly
6.5 minutes long. The maximum LFO rate will, however, always top out at 100Hz.
You can also assign Tête’s CV inputs to further modify the LFO rate, as discussed in
CV Setup: Input X, Y and Z (Combo Mode) ​ . Any modulation of LFO rate by CV or Pressure
(discussed below) are summed with the existing, pad-determined LFO rate.
Locking the LFO Rate
You can lock a Pad’s LFO rate, then use pressure to temporarily increase or decrease the rate —
perfect for real time performance control. Specifically:
1. Make sure Tetrapad is not in SHIFT View.
That is, if the Shift Status LED is currently lit red, push the red SHIFT button to turn it off.
2. Touch the pad to set the desired LFO rate.
3. Press the encoder to lock the LFO rate at its current value.
The corresponding Pad Status LED turns blue, indicating the LFO rate is locked.
Lightly sliding your finger up/down the pad will no longer change the LFO rate, however
applying pressure will change the rate. Specifically:
4. Touch (with pressure) anywhere above the center of the pad, and the LFO rate will temporarily
increase accordingly.
Release your finger and the LFO rate returns to the locked value.
5. Touch (with pressure) anywhere below the center of a pad, and the locked LFO rate will
temporarily decrease accordingly.
Release your finger and the LFO rate returns to the locked value.
6. To unlock an LFO, simply press the encoder again, turning off its blue Pad Status LED.
Attenuating the LFO Output
You can attenuate the output of an LFO from a maximum of 5V down to only 1V. To do so:
1. Put Tetrapad into SHIFT View.
That is, if the Shift Status LED is currently unlit, push the red SHIFT button to turn it on.
2. Turn the encoder to scale the output level of the LFO.
3. Turning it counterclockwise decreases the output voltage in 1V increments, down to a
maximum absolute output value of 1V. Turning it clockwise increases the output voltage in 1V
increments, up to a maximum absolute output value of 5V.
