Steps
Euclidean pattern generator - number of steps.
Velocity / Probability
Base velocity of notes. Secondary function adjusts the
note lter based on a chance.
Pitch / Harmony
Keyboard style pitch application and transposition of
notes. Secondary function for harmonic transposition.
Length / Quantize
Track and loop length. Secondary function for
quantization of current pattern with respect to transport.
Top Row 1 - 8
Represent tracks 1-8 and illuminate to visualise
selected function. Functions are dependant on mode.
Play / Stop
Transport control for pattern.
Temp
Hold and turn a parameter to temporarily change its value.

Pulses / Rotate
Euclidean pattern generator - number of note pulses.
Secondary function sets / shifts starting point of pattern.
Sustain
Note length adjustment.
Scale / Root
Scale of the track. Secondary function sets the root note.
Tempo
Project tempo from 24bpm - 280bpm, default 120bpm.
Bottom Row 9 - 16
Represent tracks 9-16 and illuminate to visualise
selected function. Functions are dependant on mode.
Clear / Copy
Clear tracks, patterns or parameters. Copy using
secondary option.
Mute
Hold along with a value button to mute the selected track.
Cycles
Edit parameter lock automation settings.A cycle
contains a setting for each of T-1 parameters.
Accent / Groove
Adds a velocity variation to notes. Secondary option
introduces a velocity groove character.
Channel / Output
MIDI Channel between 1-16. Secondary function,
‘output’ is not currently implemented.
Ctrl
Hold to access secondary options for other buttons.
Pattern / Select
Selects pattern view. Select pattern with value button.
Silently select pattern when using secondary function.
Repeats / Offset
Number of note repeats added after each pulse.
Secondary function applies velocity ramp for repeats.
Division
Euclidean pattern generator - note interval value of each
step of the pattern.
Timing / Delay
Microtiming asymmetrical stretch across the beat grid.
Secondary function introduces a +/- track ‘delay’ offset.
Random / Rate
Randomization amount of parameters in the sequence.
Secondary function is sequence modulation playback rate.
Bank / Save
Selects bank view. Select bank with value button. Save
bank state using secondary function. Also used as the
Exit / Home function to revert to default mode.
Time / Pace
Adjusts note interval value of repeats. Secondary
function adjusts repeat acceleration / deceleration.
Voicing / Style
Adjusts order of inserted notes in the pitch menu.
Secondary option for arpeggiator style.
Range / Phrase
Range of pitch modulation. Based on LFO’s and shapes.
Secondary function to select modulation shape.

The user interface has a total of 7 control areas consisting of 18 endless rotary / push control knobs
and 23 multi-colour buttons. The knobs are clustered towards 3 specic workow / performance
topics plus conguration setup. The two rows, total of 16 value buttons are used by default for track
selection plus they also act as a visual indicator. The 2 performance buttons, temp and mute, help
control on-the-y changes and variations. The remaining 5 control buttons are used for general
functions including transport control, editing and bank / pattern selection.
Main functions are labelled in black and secondary functions in grey. Secondary functions are
accessed by holding the [CTRL] button in addition to the function. Other button combinations can be
used to access various options. The value buttons are multifunctional and also illuminate, where the
colour acts as a visual indicator when adjusting settings.
