Tête + Tetrapad Manual
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 Outputs 1-4.
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.
Slew Between Notes
Tetrapad also gives you the ability to slew between notes. To do so, press the red SHIFT button
and continue holding it while turning Encoder 1.
Clockwise turns increase the time it takes to move from one note to another (up to approximately
a 4 second glide). Counterclockwise turns decrease the amount of time (down to “instantaneous”).
Slew times are indicated by a red Pad Status LED above each fader — with an LED glowing
increasingly brighter as the slew gets longer.
Slew time is a global setting within Keyboard Mode, meaning the rate of change affects all notes
equally.
NOTE: CV control over slew time is available in Tête’s

. You can limit the extent to
which CV can control Slew by holding down the red SHIFT button while pressing & turning any of
the four Encoders. Counterclockwise turns set the lower CV-able Slew limit, while clockwise turns
set the upper CV-able Slew limit.
Rotating and Inverting
If you’ve used manual note assignment to configure your own custom chords, you may find it
useful to rotate or invert those chords as part of a performance. Although manual note
assignment does not give you direct Encoder access to these functions, you can assign
Rotation and Inversion to Tête’s Assignable CV Inputs
