Tête + Tetrapad Manual
MODE OVERVIEW
Tetrapad, when controlled by Tête, offers three entirely unique modes of operation. They are:
● COMBO MODE ​ : In this mode, each of Tetrapad’s four pads can be assigned a function
independent of the other three pads, such as: a fader; a bi-polar fader; a crossfader; an LFO; a
dual switch; or a finger drumming/euclidean rhythm pad. The chosen mode determines what
type of signal (CV, note, trigger, gate, etc.) is sent from each of Tetrapad’s eight independent
outputs, while its multitude of multi-colored LEDs keep you informed of exactly what’s
happening within each mode. Combo Mode is discussed in
​

, below.
● NOTES MODE ​ : This mode divides each of the four pads into either 1, 2, 3 or 4 separate zones
(‘keys’), which turns Tetrapad into a 4, 8, 12, or 16-key keyboard — with each ‘key’ capable of
sending up to four different notes to four different outputs. Touching a ‘key’ sends different
notes to Outputs 1-4, plus trigger and gate signals to Outputs 7 and 8. Vertical position and
pressure are converted to CV and sent to Outputs 5 and 6, respectively.
There are three ways to assign note values to individual keys and outputs: by scale; by chord;
or manually. You can set a slew time (portamento) between notes, and you can vary this time
using one of Tête’s CV inputs. Notes Mode is discussed in

Tête can also record and play back notes in real-time (using its built-in Looper) or in step-time
(using its built-in Sequencer), as discussed later in
​
The Looper
​
and
​
The Sequencer
​
.
● VOLTAGES MODE ​ : This mode divides Tetrapad’s four pads into 8, 12, or 16 zones. Each
zone is a voltage storage bank, which sends 8 different memorized voltages to Tetrapad eight
outputs when touched.
You can record and play back voltage changes using Tête’s built-in step Sequencer or
real-time Looper. The addition of Tête’s CV input allows further motion sequencing by shifting
zones vertically and horizontally, and you can slew between voltages, and vary the slew
amount via another Tête CV input.

In addition, you can record and play back all your gestures using Tête’s real-time Looper
