PLETE KONTROL with MASCHINE, the tempo is defined by the MASCHINE software.
When using the KOMPLETE KONTROL stand-alone application, you can set the tempo in
the header of the software interface. In Ball mode, the following additional settings are
available for the modulation strip:
◦
Display menu: Lets you select one of two ways to display the current state of the mod-
ulation strip: Bar or Dot. Bar displays a bar of lit LEDs from the default position of the
strip to the current value; whereas Dot displays a dot of lit LEDs at the current value.
◦
Rate menu: Lets you select one of 13 time signatures to set the beat of the ball's
movement relative to the tempo, from 1/8 to 4/1, including triplet and dotted time
signatures.
◦
Friction slider: Adjusts the rate at which the ball movement catches up with the tem-
po. The higher the Friction value, the quicker the ball will match the beat as set in the
Rate menu. When fully right, the ball matches the given beat instantly.
◦
Gravity slider: Adjusts the attraction of your finger on the ball: The higher the Gravity
value, the faster the ball will move. This parameter doesn't affect the ball movement if
you throw the ball with your finger (see above).
◦
Walls button: Sets the behavior of the ball when it reaches the range limits. If Walls is
set to on, the ball bounces off the range limit and continues its trip in the opposite
direction. If Walls is set to off, the ball jumps to the opposite range limit and contin-
ues from there in the same direction.
▪
Stepped: This mode divides the modulation strip into two to five sections, indicated by
white LEDs. When being pressed with a finger, each section triggers one of two to five
evenly spaced parameter values across the whole modulation range. The currently active
section (parameter value) is indicated by three blue LEDs. In Stepped mode, the following
additional settings are available for the modulation strip:
◦
Divisions menu: Lets you select the number of sections the modulation strip is divided
into.
The parameters available in the section depend on the selected behavior:
