Basic Cell Editing: Pulses
Press the “edit” button to begin editing cell data. In cell edit mode the “edit” LED will be
illuminated and a white blinking edit cursor will appear on the ring display. The edit cursor can be
moved around the current ring using the “cell” rotary encoder. To switch rings use the “beats/cycl”
encoder. When you switch rings, the encoder’s neighboring segmented display will show the
number of cells/beats in the selected ring.
To assign a simple pulse to a cell, select the cell with the edit cursor and press one of the
“red”, “green”, or “blue” pulse buttons . The selected cell in the ring display will illuminate with
the pulse color to show the assignment and the corresponding LED in the “PULSE OUTPUTS”
section will also illuminate. Adding more than one pulse to the same cell will mix their colors.
Pressing a pulse button a second time will remove the assignment.
Using the “pulse duration” knob you can change the length of the pulses in a cell, anywhere
from a transient to the entire cell duration at the current BPM. The “behind/ahead” knob will
cause the cell to be performed late or early relative to the cell’s position in the sequence.
The “cell subdivide” section lets you add up to 7 pulses that will be performed
during the course
of the cell’s duration . The button increments the number of pulses to perform, and knob
distributes them in time. Zero is an equal time distribution; larger values group the pulses closer
and closer together and push them further and further towards the end of the cell’s time domain.
Cell subdivide pulses always appear at the “sub-div” jack in the “PULSE OUTPUTS” section.
The “phase” knob rotates cell data in the ring forwards or backwards by single cell
increments. See the Ring Display Modes section below for details about how data is rotated.
Copy, Paste, Clear, and Pulse Fill
When a cell is selected, pressing the
“copy” button copies all of the cell’s associated data:
pulses, pulse timing, and CV assignments (which will be discussed next).
As you might expect, the
“paste” button replaces the currently selected cell’s data with whatever
was most recently copied. If you hold down the “paste” button and turn the “cell” rotary
encoder , the paste will be repeated into each successive cell. See the Ring Display Modes
section below for details about how data is pasted.
The “clear” button will erase all cell data from the currently selected cell. If you hold the “clear”
button and turn the “cell” encoder , the erasure will be repeated in each cell. See the Ring
Display Modes section below for details about how data is cleared.
As a convenience when editing pulses, you may hold down one or more of the R/G/B buttons
and turn the “cell” encoder to fill adjacent cells with pulses.
And even more convenient way to quickly fill a circle with pulses, is to generate pulses that create
patterns based on “Euclidian Rhythms.”
