Functions - Different Between Modes
6. Break
Break emulates the malfunctioning of digital audio devices such as CDs, wireless audio, and soft-
ware bugs. With this control you can experience the following effects:
• Glitches and stutters similar to a scratched CD
• Disjointed playhead movement
• Synchronized Audio dropouts
Enabling/Disabling Break using the Gate or Button will toggle this control on or off. When en-
abled (LED Blue), every clock division a certain manipulation of the number of repeats and play-
back position may occur. When the knob is all the way down, the effect is disabled.
At the lowest settings, it will only have a slight chance to add additional repeats, or move to
a new sub-section of the buffer. At the maximum settings, it can jump to any sub-section of the
buffer, and has a high likelihood to do so. It can also set the repeats to anywhere above where
the knob is set, and add up to 90% silence to each repeat.
Break CV Input Range: -5V to +5V from the knob position
Break Gate Input Threshold: 0.4V

Though both Bend and Break are automated in Macro Mode, there are specific sections on the
knob that can provide specific variations to the buffer.
Note that, as you go across the knob, each variation is added to the ones before it, increasing
the overall number of possible variations to the buffer. See the graphics below for the different
Bend and Break variations:

Note: Break’s knob variations are dependent on the Time and Repeats settings, as well as the
internal or external clock.
