Tête + Tetrapad Manual
zero-range cause the Pad Status LED to glow red. With each subsequent octave decrease,
the LED will brighten. Tetrapad gives you a 10 octave range.
NOTE: Pressing Encoder 2 resets the keyboard to the zero octave.
5. Turn Encoder 3 to rotate the output assignments.
With each clockwise turn, the output assignments shift to the right by 1. So if you turn Encoder
3 one turn clockwise, the unshifted scale will appear at Out 2 (rather than Out 1); the +2 scale
moves to Out 3; the +4 scale moves to Out 4; and the +6 scale moves to Out 1.
On Tetrapad, the brightest of the four blue Output Status LEDs indicates which output is
currently assigned to the unshifted scale. On Tête, the boldest note indicator reflects which
output is currently assigned to the unshifted scale.
NOTE: Pressing Encoder 3 removes any rotation, placing the root note back on Out 1.
6. Turn Encoder 4 to invert the outputs.
Clockwise rotation inverts the 4-notes upward; counterclockwise rotation inverts them
downward. For example, one CW turn transposes Out 1 up one octave; a second CW turn
transposes Out 2 up one octave, and so on. Similarly, one CCW turn transposes Out 4 down
one octave; etc.
NOTE: Pressing Encoder 4 removes any inversion.
Playing the Keyboard
1. Touch any of the 4, 8, 12 or 16 keys (as chosen in ​ Setting the Number of Virtual Keys ​ ) to send
the assigned notes to Output 1.
In addition, Tetrapad sends diatonically shifted versions of the scale to each of the three
remaining outputs. Specifically, Out 2 is diatonically s2; Out 3 is diatonically shifted by
+4; and the notes appearing at Out 4 are diatonically shifted by +6.
CV representing the vertical position of your tap on the key is sent to Out 5. CV representing
the pressure you apply to any key is sent to Out 6. A trigger signal is sent to Out 7, and a Gate
is sent to Out 8.
You can use Encoder 3 to rotate the output assignments, and Encoder 4 to invert them (as
discussed previously).
NOTE: You can also control rotation and inversion via CV by assigning the function(s) to any
of Tête’s three CV inputs, as discussed in
​ CV Setup Menu ​ .
