Tête + Tetrapad Manual
Voltages Mode Encoder Bar (Looper)
In Voltages Mode, turning Tête’s encoder selects between four touch options:
Touch / Record Bank/Gate
This is the ‘normal’ mode of operation. Touching a pad sends the programmed
bank of voltage values to the outputs, along with a gate signal to one of Tête’s
assignable CV outputs (If you assigned it to output “touch”).
When recording, the option becomes ​ Record Bank/Gate ​ , and your voltage changes and touch gates
are recorded into the loop.
Touch / Record Bank Only
In this mode, touching a pad sends the programmed bank of voltage values to
the outputs, but it does not send a gate signal to Tête’s assignable CV output.
This is useful when you’re playing back a loop, since it lets you change voltage
values without altering the previously recorded gate pattern.
When recording, the option becomes ​ Record Bank Only ​ , and your voltage bank changes are
recorded into the loop, but not gate signals. This can be particularly helpful when you want to overdub
new voltage changes without altering the recorded gate loop.
Touch / Record Gate Only
In this mode, touching a pad sends a gate signal to Tête’s assignable CV output
(provided you’ve assigned the “Touch” function to the CV output), but it does not
send voltage bank changes. This is useful when you’re playing back a loop,
since it lets you change rhythmic gate patterns without altering the previously
recorded voltage changes.
When recording, the option becomes ​ Record Gate Only ​ , and your gate gestures are recorded into
the loop, but not the voltage bank changes. This can be particularly helpful when you want to overdub
new rhythmic patterns over an existing voltage loop.
Bypass Bank/Gate | Erase Gate
In this mode, touching a pad silences playback for as long as a pad is touched.
When you play back a loop,
​ Bypass Bank/Gate ​ lets you touch a pad to
temporarily silence playback while the loop continues to play in sync.
When recording, the option becomes ​ Erase Gate ​ , which lets you record a ‘rest’ for as long as a pad is
touched. When overdubbing, ​ Erase Gate ​ is useful for spot-erasing previously recorded voltage gates.
