lengths, time divison and other properties that affect playback. If that is not desired, the second track can be linked to the first
track, essentially doubling the playback behavior.
Track modes, the physical routing to CV/gate outputs and track linking can be configured on the Layout page.
Note Track
By default, all tracks are configured as note tracks. In this mode, the track uses step sequencing to generate gate and CV
signals. A sequence consists of a maximum of 64 steps and there is a total of 16 sequences per track.
Each step is defined through a number of properties, also called layers, to control the generated gate and CV signals.
The Gate layer defines what steps of the sequence create a gate signal. To introduce some random variation, the Gate
Probability layer is used to control how often an active gate is actually generated.
The Gate Offset layer is used to offset gate signals into the future, adding a delay before triggering a note.
The Length layer controls the duration of the gate signal and allows to tie notes together if set to the maximum. Again, to
introduce some random variation, the Length Variation Range and Length Variation Probability layers control a maximum
random deviation of the gate length and the probability of actually randomizing the gate length.
The Retrigger layer allows each gate signal to be retriggered multiple times within the duration of the step, allowing for faster
gates and ratcheting effects. Retriggered notes are only output within the current Length of the step. This allows to output a
burst of notes only at the beginning of the step. Retriggering can also be randomized using the Retrigger Probability layer.
The generated CV signal is controlled by the Note layer, which basically defines the voltage to be output for each step. Each
note is stored as an index to an entry in a Scale, allowing the generated CV signals to be used both for controlling note pitch as
well as other arbitrary modulation signals. Using the Note Variation Range and Note Variation Probability layers some random
variation can be applied to the CV signal. The Slide layer controls if the generate CV signal is changed immediately on the start
of a gate or smoothly slides to the new voltage.
Finally, the Condition layer is used to conditionally trigger steps based on certain rules. This allows to create relatively short
sequences that feel more complex, for example by only playing steps every few iterations. See Step Conditions for additional
information.
The playback of the sequence is controlled by additional parameters:
Divisor controls the rate at which steps are played back
Run Mode controls the order in which steps are played back
First Step and Last Step control what range of the sequence is played back
Sequences are edited on the Steps page and sequence parameters can be edited on the Sequence page.
Curve Track
In Curve mode, a track also uses step sequencing with similar playback features to the note track. However, in this track mode
the CV signal is defined by a series of curve shapes, making this mode useful to generate modulation signals. This mode also
allows to output gate patterns, but it is different from how the Note mode works.
The generated CV signal is controlled by the Shape layer, which defines a curve shape to be output over the duration of one
step. The Minimum and Maximum layers define the lower and upper voltage that is output for each step. To introduce some
random variation, the Shape Variation and Shape Variation Probability layers can be used to define altered shapes that are used
instead of the primary shape with some probability.
The generated gate signal is controlled by the Gate layer. It allows to define a pattern of up to 4 gate triggers per step. To
introduce some random variation, the Gate Probability layer is used to control how often a gate is actually played.
