Startup Mode:
This is the mode which the LDB-1se starts in when you power it on. Select one of
the seven options. The default is Pad Play.

Chaser LED On:
You can decide in which modes the step chaser LED is on. In some modes,
extra blinking might be distracting. Select any, all, or no modes. The default is just editing modes.

Clock Options
Clock Timing:
Select one of three timings for the external clock in jack. Steps means that the LDB-1se
will advance one step per incoming clock tick, which is the equivalent of 4 PPQN (pulses per quarter
note). 24 PPQN is the speed of the Roland DINsync standard. 48 PPQN is the speed of the Korg DINsync
standard. The internal clock on the LDB-1se is also 48 PPQN.
Reset In = Gate In:
Select this option to change the function of the reset in jack to a gate (on/off) signal
like DINsync supplies, instead of reset, which is a common output of analog sequencers.
MIDI Transport:
When this option is on, the LDB-1se will respond to incoming MIDI transport messages
(start, stop, continue, song position). Turn it off to ignore transport messages.
MIDI Clock:
When this option is on, the LDB-1se will respond to incoming MIDI clock messages. Turn it
off to ignore clock messages. The MIDI Transport option must be on if MIDI Clock is on.

Trigger Options
Trigger Length:
This option sets the length of the trigger output. The ½ step and ¾ step lengths are
useful if you are using the trigger output as a note on/off gate (rather than a true trigger). If the full step
length is selected, and two triggers are on for adjacent steps, then there is no trigger off time between
the steps. If using an external clock at one tick per step, the ¾ step length acts like a ½ step.
Trigger Positive:
If this option is on, then an on trigger is a positive voltage and an off trigger is zero volts
(v-trig). When this option is off, the trigger polarity is reversed (s-trig).
Triggers Randomizable:
If this option is on, then triggers will be randomized the same way as instru-
ments are, otherwise randomization does not affect triggers.
Triggers Global:
When global triggers are turned on, there is one set of triggers that fire regardless of
the playing pattern. If triggers are not global, then each pattern gets its own set of triggers.

MIDI Mapping:
This option defines how the LDB-1se instruments are mapped to MIDI notes.
All Drums:
All MIDI percussion notes are mapped to the closest matching LDB-1se instrument.
Similar Drums
: Only very similar MIDI percussion notes are mapped to the LDB-1se instruments. Those
notes being 35
–
50 and 75
–
77.
Specific Drums:
The LDB-1se will respond only to MIDI notes that directly correspond to LDB-1se instru-
ments. MIDI notes 36, 38, 39, 42, 43, 46, 50, and 76 are mapped to BD, SD, CP, CH, LT, OH, HT and WB,
respectively. Those are the same notes used in the LDB-1 specific map mode.
Specific Alternate:
The LDB-1se will respond only to the following MIDI notes: 35, 37, 40, 41, 44, 48, 49,
and 77 are mapped to BD, CP, SD, LT, CH, HT, OH and WB, respectively. This map allows you to control
both an LDB-1 and an LDB-1se and not have overlapping notes.
All Notes:
Each note in every octave will trigger an instrument. Notes C, D, E, F, G, A, and B are mapped
to BD, SD, LT, HT, WB, CP, and OH, respectively. All sharps/flats are mapped to CH. This mode is useful
for split-able keyboards where one octave can be used to control the LDB-1se while the rest of the
keyboard controls your synthesizer. It is also fun to use a pitch sequence and have it converted to drums.
