The Encoder Bar (In Looper)
The Encoder Bar provides immediate access to numerous mode-specific touch-modifications that are
useful when you perform, record or play loops and sequences. This section discusses the
mode-specific Encoder Bar options that are available when using the Looper.
Combo Mode Encoder Bar (Looper)
In Combo Mode, turning Tête’s encoder selects between two touch options:
Touch / Record Pad
This is the ‘normal’ mode of operation. Touching a pad causes the pad to
respond normally (as programmed in Combo Mode). When recording, the
option becomes
​ Record Pad ​ , and the function of the pad is recorded into the
loop.
Bypass / Erase Pad
In this mode, touching a pad silences playback for as long as a pad is touched.
When you play back a recording,
​ Bypass Pad ​ lets you touch a pad to
temporarily silence playback while the loop continues to play in sync.
When recording, the option becomes ​ Erase Pad ​ , which lets you record a ‘rest’ for as long as a pad is
touched. When overdubbing, ​ Erase Pad ​ is useful for spot-erasing previous sections of your recording.
Notes Mode Encoder Bar (Looper)
In Notes Mode, turning Tête’s encoder selects between two touch options:
Touch / Record Pad
This is the ‘normal’ mode of operation. Touching a pad causes the pad to
respond normally (playing whatever notes you’ve assigned in Notes Mode).
When recording, the option becomes
​ Record Pad ​ , and the notes are recorded
into the loop.
Bypass / Record Pad
In this mode, touching a pad silences playback for as long as a pad is touched.
When you play back a loop,
​ Bypass Pad ​ lets you touch a pad to temporarily
silence playback while the loop continues to play in sync.
When recording, the option becomes ​ Erase Pad ​ , which lets you record a ‘rest’ for as long as a pad is
touched. When overdubbing, ​ Erase Pad ​ is useful for spot-erasing previously recorded notes.
