SHAPE SECTION
The shape section lets you generate and shape rhythmic and melodic structures in different ways.
There is a shape section dedicated to each of the 16 tracks in the pattern.
euclidean rhythms (steps, pulses, division)
The rst two knobs in the top left in the shape section let you control the Euclidean rhythm generator. The Eu-
clidean algorithm distributes a determined number of pulses as evenly as possible across a determined number
of steps. This forms a cyclic rhythm - a euclidean cycle. The parameters below control different aspects of the
euclidean cycle:
• Steps The number of steps.
• Pulses The number of pulses.
• Rotate The starting point.
• Division The note value of each step.
Pressing the ( STEPS ) or ( PULSES ) knob opens the step sequencer view, where steps can be added or removed
to the euclidean cycle.

steps
Adjusts the number of steps in the cycle. The cycle is looping, and the length ranges from 1-16 steps.
By default, the number of steps is set to 16 on all tracks.
Random affects the number of steps. The number of steps changes after each cycle.
Press ( RANDOM ) + turn ( STEPS )
pulses
Adjusts the number of pulses in the euclidean cycle. Each pulse represents a note.
Random affects the number of pulses. The number of pulses changes after each cycle. The random
modulation of pulses is unipolar. If the modulation amount is positive, pulses are added, if negative,
pulses are removed.
Press ( RANDOM ) + turn ( PULSES )
