Step 3. Creating a Kick Track
The rst track will be the kick drum sequenced from T-1 and playing a
desktop drum synth. This could equally be a DAW. The Snare and HiHat to
follow on tracks 2 and 3 with a Bass stab on track 4.
▌ TRACK 1 - KICK
1. Select Track 1, Press the rst value button [VB1]. The default mode is
track view, if this is not visible, press [BANK] to select the default ‘home’
track view. Value button 1 will be lit ORANGE ⬛.
2. Ensure the track has 16 Steps. Press (STEPS) to view the value
buttons. All should be lit to indicate 16 steps. The lit steps indicate
number of steps selected. Turn (STEPS) to adjust the number.
3. Press (PULSE) to view how many note events are selected. Active
pulse step notes will be lit ORANGE ⬛.
4. Turn (PULSE) to add or remove the number of steps. Turn (PULSE) to
edit while viewing. The euclidean sequencer will automatically distribute
the number of note event pulses equally across the total number of
steps. Add 4 pulses.
5. Ensure the MIDI Channel on T-1 matches the Kick drum channel on the
destination device. Press (CHANNEL) to view the current track’s MIDI
channel. The selected channel will be lit WHITE ⬛. Turn (CHANNEL) to
set the channel to 1, indicated by lit [VB1], if not already set.
6. Press [PLAY] . The play button will ash indicating playback is active.
The kick sound on the connected audio module should be triggered on
the beat. T-1 will loop the 16 step playback.
Adjusting Parameters
When turning a parameter knob the value buttons will temporarily display the current state
across the value buttons. This is default behaviour but can be changed in the T-1 Cong
misc page settings.
Step 4. Creating a Snare Track
The snare will follow similar principles as the kick. Manual pulse note
events can be added as well as the automatic Euclidean sequenced notes.
▌ TRACK 2 - SNARE
1. Select Track 2, Press the second value button [VB2]. The default mode
is track view, if this is not visible, press [BANK] to select the default
‘home’ track view. Value button 2 will be lit ORANGE ⬛.
2. Ensure the track has 16 Steps. Press (STEPS) to view the value
buttons. All should be lit to indicate 16 steps. The lit steps indicate
number of steps selected. Turn (STEPS) to adjust the number.
3. Double Press (PULSE) to view how many note events are selected.
Double tapping the knob will retain the visual button view where single
tap just temporarily displays the button state.
4. Active step notes will be lit ORANGE ⬛. Instead of using the Euclidean
pulse placement set the pulses manually. Tap value buttons [VB5] and
[VB13] to manually place the pulses.
5. Ensure the MIDI Channel on T-1 for track 2 matches the Snare drum
channel on the destination device. Press (CHANNEL) to view the
current track’s MIDI channel. The selected channel will be lit WHITE ⬛.
Turn (CHANNEL) to change channel. Value button [VB2] should be lit
for MIDI channel 2.
6. Press [PLAY] . The play button will ash indicating playback is active.
The kick and snare sounds on the connected audio module should be
triggered on the set pulse beats. T-1 will loop the 16 step playback.
Track buttons will ash when a pulse is triggered.
