How is Euclidean Sequencing Applied in T-1?
The SHAPE section of T-1 hosts parameters that dene pattern structures
and their components. Here there are 4 core parameters that form the
foundation for T-1 Euclidean sequencing.
• Steps: Total number of steps within the patterns cycle for each track.
The range is 1-16 and by default is set to the maximum 16 steps.
Steps are presented as DIMMED BLUE ⬛ when pressing (STEPS).
• Pulses: A pulse is a note event. Empty steps trigger nothing while a
pulse will trigger an note event to create beats and melodies.
Number of pulses can be generated and are automatically spread
evenly across the total number of available steps. Pulses are
presented as are ORANGE ⬛ when pressing (PULSES).
• Rotate: The starting point or rst step in the pattern.
• Division: This is the division value between each note step and sets
the timing of each step in the pattern. Press (DIVISION) to see the
current setting, illuminated in WHITE ⬛.
There are many other parameters than can build on and expand the
Euclidean pattern. These will be covered later in more detail.

3.3 Selecting & Playing Patterns
Selecting a pattern is an integrated part of the bank selection process.
Patterns can also be individually selected both for playback and for editing.
Patterns selected will play in series, one after the other, while tracks play
simultaneously, in parallel within the pattern.
▌ SELECTING A PATTERN FOR EDITING - PATTERN STOPPED
1. Select a pattern. Hold [PATTERN] + Press [VBx], where ‘x’ is the value
button that represents the desired pattern.
2. While [PATTERN] is held, the state can be viewed on the value buttons.
Press [PATTERN] twice to lock the pattern view.
3. The currently selected pattern will be represented by the WHITE ⬛ lit
value button.
4. Patterns edited, with content are lit BLUE ⬛. Empty patterns are lit
DARK BLUE ⬛.
5. Select pattern can be edited.
▌ PLAYING A PATTERN
1. Press [PLAY]. The selected pattern will play and loop.
2. The active playing pattern will be represented by the WHITE ⬛ ashing
value button. Viewed in the pattern page by holding [PATTERN]
3. To queue a pattern for playback. While playing, Hold [PATTERN] +
Press [VBx], where ‘x’ is the value button that represents the desired
pattern to play next. Double press [PATTERN] to lock pattern view.
4. The queued pattern will be lit WHITE ⬛ until the previous pattern
concludes. The new pattern will ash when playing starts.
