Qu-Bit Electronix Tri-ger, Manual

Page: 5 / 13

Getting Started
How the Tri-ger Records:
The Tri-ger is record-enabled once the rec button is pressed, but will wait to record until the
first arcade button is hit. To stop recording, press the rec button again and the Tri-ger will
immediately start playing the recorded loop. The Tri-ger calculates a subdividable clock based
on the length of the recorded pattern. This signal is output from the
clock out jack .
Note: The Tri-ger will save patterns, play/pause state, playback position, mutes, and enabled
rolls in between power cycles
Recording New Loops:
To record a new loop, hold down the alt button and then press the rec button . All rec/mute
indicators will begin to blink red, showing that the Tri-ger is ready to record a new loop. Once
the first arcade button is hit, all rec/mute indicators will stop blinking and illuminate red as the
Tri-ger starts to record. Press the rec button once more to stop recording and the new loop
will begin playing. When recording new loops, the bar/beat indicators will reflect the current
length of the recording in relation to how much recording time is left. The bar/beat indicators
will flash at an increasing rate as they approach the recording capacity.
Punch In/Punch Out Recording
To punch in record, press the rec button and start playing on the desired channel. The
corresponding channel's rec/mute indicator will illuminate red, showing that the destructive
over-dubbing of the desired channel is in progress. Press the rec button again to stop
recording and the newly recorded pattern will play in time with the rest of the loop.
Momentary Punch In Recording:
To add extra notes to a specific channel without rerecording the channel's entire pattern, hold
down the
rec button and start adding the desired rhythms to an existing loop. Release the rec
button and the Tri-ger will stop recording.
Muting Specific Channels:
To mute and unmute specific channels, hold down the alt button and then press the
corresponding channel buttons. If all rec/mute indicators are illuminated green, then all
channels are active. If all rec/mute indicators are unilluminated, then all channels are muted
(See 11. Alt for corresponding channel buttons). Manual gates will still function when the
corresponding channel's pattern is muted.
Erasing Patterns On Specific Channels:
To erase patterns on specific channels, hold down the rec button and then double tap the
button that corresponds with the desired channel (See 11. Alt for corresponding channel
buttons).
Enabling/Disabling Drum Rolls On Specific Channels:
By default, all channels have drum rolls enabled. To disable and enable drum rolls on specific
channels, hold down the
alt button and then double tap the button that corresponds with the
desired channel (See 11. Alt for corresponding channel buttons).
Changing Clock Out Pulse Width:
To change the width of the clock out signal, hold down the alt button while turning the roll rate
knob . If the roll rate knob is far left, then the gates will be as narrow as possible. If the roll rate
knob is far right, then the gates will be as wide as possible.
