SETTINGS family entry on the root menu.
How the grid behaves — lighting, page walking, paint style, cursor, LEDs, and PONG. None of these change the audio engine; they shape interaction and visuals only. Open from the root menu as SETTINGS; encoder 4 walks the eleven leaves below.
From the root menu, highlight SETTINGS and short-press encoder 4. Row 16 re-colours to the SETTINGS family tint so you always know you are inside this world. Encoder 4 turn flips siblings; encoder 1 short steps back to the root list.
SETTINGS family entry on the root menu.
A soft whole-grid wash that pulses with the beat — performance glow vs clean editor.
| Turn | ON / OFF | ON = soft tint washes the grid in time. OFF = only the playhead column lights (cleaner for editing). |
|---|
| Turn | Next SETTINGS sibling | Walks FLW → PREV → VIEW → … |
|---|
How the sample browser auditions files while you hunt. (Loudness of those previews is VOL → PREV — different page.)
PREV = ON — every file under the cursor auto-plays.
PREV = PRSS — press to preview only.
| Turn | ON / PRSS | ON = auto-audition while spinning files. PRSS = only when you explicitly press (safer on stage). |
|---|
How much of the pattern you see while editing one page.
| Turn | EASY / FULL | EASY = current page only. FULL = current page bright, neighbour pages ghosted underneath for context. |
|---|
What happens when a page finishes playing. This is the bridge between a single loop and the SONG arranger.
| Mode | What playback does | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| OFF | Stays on one page forever | DJ-style locked loops; live tweaking |
| ON | Marches to the next page that has notes | Simple A→B→C song form |
| SONG | Follows the SONG arranger chain | Non-linear set lists, repeats, bridges |
| NEXT | Jumps once to a queued page at loop end | Live transitions on a cue |
| Turn | OFF → ON → SONG → NEXT | Choice survives reboot. |
|---|
How many steps of a page actually sound before it wraps.
| Turn | OFF or 1–16 | OFF = natural 16 steps. Short odd lengths (5, 7, 9…) = instant groovebox weirdness. |
|---|
What encoder 2 does in draw / single mode when you are not in a special overlay.
| Turn | PAGE / VOL | PAGE = flip pattern pages 1–16. VOL = per-row volume for the cursor’s lane (live mix fader). |
|---|
Tell the firmware which LED panel(s) are actually bolted on. Wrong setting = pixels off the visible area.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1 | One panel (default) |
| 1B | One panel, mirrored / flipped |
| 2 | Two panels stacked (16×32) |
| 2B | Two panels, mirrored |
| Turn | 1 → 1B → 2 → 2B | Match what is physically installed. |
|---|
A ball bounces across the grid in draw mode. Every time it lands on a cell that already has a note, that note fires again.
PONG on: speed readout left, ON right, ball on the middle rows.
| Turn | OFF / ON, then speed | When on, dial speed 1–99 (higher = faster). |
|---|
How the edit cursor draws on the grid.
| Turn | NORM / CHNR / BIG | NORM = thin white ring. CHNR = only on the focused voice in single mode. BIG = chunky 3×3 halo for distance reading. |
|---|
Two-hand careful editing vs one-hand set/remove. Full gesture detail: Sequencing → Set & remove triggers.
| Turn | L+R / R | L+R = enc 1 row/erase, enc 4 place. R = enc 4 toggles alone; enc 1 = temporary full mute. |
|---|
Custom set of channels that come back unmuted when you leave R-mode’s temporary full mute (encoder 3). Not a paint gate.
Sixteen dots = channels 1–16. Green = in the unmute mask; red = stays muted.
| Turn | Select channel 1–16 | Highlight which lane you are editing. |
|---|
| Turn | Toggle mask bit | Green = unmuted on exit; red = stays muted. |
|---|
