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.
