Accent

Each step in a track can have one of three accent levels:

•  Press 

Acc/Bend

 button. The function toggles between the three accent levels  

(LED off = soft, green = medium, red = loud).

•  Press an allready active 

step

 to apply the selected accent level (step LED off).

•  Press 

step

 again to enable step again (step LED lights up red again).

If you want to apply the same accent level to several steps at once:

•  Select several 

steps

 (see „Select Steps“).

•  Press 

Acc/Bend

 button to select accent level.

•  Press 

Select

 again to confirm function.

Bend

This function ”bends“ the pitch of an instrument up or down. As well as the accents, it can 
be applied to individual (active) steps of an instrument. It generates e.g. typical D&B bass 
drums. The effect might only be audible with longer decay settings. Bend works on BD 1, 
BD 2, SD, LTC, MTC and HTC.

•  Hold 

Shift

 + press 

Acc/Bnd

 to enable the Bend function. The LED flashes (This is 

a sub-function, accessed via shift button).

•  Press desired (allready active) 

step

. The step-LED goes off.

•  Adjust Bend intensity with 

Data

 knob. 

Please note: effect is not yet audible!

•  Press desired 

step

 again to apply the function. It becomes audible now. (LED lights 

up red again).

•  Go for more steps if desired: press 

Step

, turn 

Data

, press 

Step

 again. 

If you like the result:

•  Hold 

Shift

 + press 

Acc/Bnd

 to close function.

Flam

This function creates flams resp. rolls on individual (allready active) steps.

Please note: This function is not available on the tracks ”Clap”, ”CV 1” and 

”CV 2/3”.

•  Hold 

Roll/Flam

 (step LEDs flashing green) + press 

Step

 button to select one of the 

16 flam patterns.

•  Press (allready active) 

Step(s)

 (green LED). The coloure changes to orange and 

the flam pattern becomes audible.

•  To select another flam pattern, again hold 

Roll/Flam

 button (step LEDs flashing 

green) + 

Step

 button to select another flam pattern.

•  Press again (allready active) 

Step(s)

 to apply the new flam pattern.   

If you like the result:

Programming Synth- resp. CV/Gate Tracks

On tracks CV1 and CV2/3 you can programm note events. These notes are sent out via 
MIDI and Tanzbär‘s CV/gate interface. Next to this, both tracks ”play“ two very simple 
synthesizer voices. They are a good help to monitor the note tracks without the need of 
external equipment.

This is how to programm the CV1 track (CV2/3 works the same way):

•  Hold 

Rec/ManTrg

 + 

Instrument/track

 button 

CV1

 to select track.

•  Set 

Steps

. The internal lead synthesizer plays the steps with identical lenght and 

pitch.

To programm notes on the CV1 track:

•  Hold 

Rec/ManTrg

 + press 

Instrument/track

 button 

CV1

 to select track.

•  Press 

Sound

 button (LED red).

•  Press 

Step

 buttons 

1 - 13

. They select notes between ”C” and ”c”.

•  Press 

Step

 buttons 

14 - 16

. They select the octave range. 

Each time you press steps 1 to 13 subsequently, the sequencer moves on one step 
further. A 16th note sequence is generated.

• 

A/B

 sets a silent step.

• 

Select

 connects several steps to longer note values.

• 

Pattern

 moves one step forward.

• 

Shift

 moves one step backwards.

 

Accents and CV 3 on Bass Track:

The bass track (

Rec/Man/Trg + CV2

) is programmed the same way. In addition you can 

apply accents. They are programmed the same way as on the drum tracks (see above).

With CV 3 you can control the filter cutoff of an suitable synthesizer. To programm CV 3 
values, please select 

steps

 on track CV 2 and use the 

Data

 knob to enter values. It works 

the same way as the stepwise parameter programming on the drum tracks.

Shuffle function

When using the shuffle function in Record Mode, each track can have it‘s individual shuffle 
intensity:

•  Hold 

Rec/ManTrg

 + press 

Instrument/track

 button to select instrument/track.

•  Press 

Shuffle

 (Step LEDs light up green).

•  Press 

Step 1 - 16

 to select shuffle intensity.

•  -Press 

Shuffle

 again to close shuffle function.

When used in Play mode, the shuffle function works globally and affects all 

tracks in the same manner.
