The Pitch Outputs
Each channel of the touch controller has two ways of outputting pitch: the [PITCH OUTPUT] and the [PITCH CV OUTPUT].
The [PITCH CV OUTPUT] is an unquantized 0-5 Volt output that is set using the [PITCH KNOBS]. This jack is hard-wired into
the [PITCH KNOBS] and which knob is used is always determined by the active step. In Sequencer Mode, this is the last
played step. With the sequencer off, the active step is always the last triggered note.
The [PITCH OUTPUT] is a quantized volt per octave output, with a nine octave range. Key and Scale are quantization
settings that determine which notes this output will allow a user to play.
Selecting a Key and Scale
To select a Key and Scale, hold the [EDIT BUTTON] and press [TOUCH PAD 4] to enter the Key and Scale Menu.
In the Key and Scale Menu, [TOUCH PAD LEDS 1-12] are used to display the Key and [TOUCH PAD LEDS 13-16] are used
to display the Scale.
Select a Key using [TOUCH PAD 1-12]. The Key is a transposing setting; it sets the root note of your key, and will shift all
the quantized notes up or down so that their root uses the selected key. There are twelve available Keys from C to B.
Select a Scale using [TOUCH PAD 13-16]. The Scale determines which partials, or notes, in the key will be available to the
musician. There are four available Scales: Micro-Tonal, Chromatic, Major, and Minor.
Note that the Yellow and Red Channels can have different keys to each other; wild harmonic possibilities abound!
