Voice Parameters
Section titled “Voice Parameters”Every track has a voice — the instrument that plays when a step triggers. Select a track to see its parameters, tweak the knobs, then tap the keys to hear the result:
Drum Voices
Section titled “Drum Voices”| Voice | Character |
|---|---|
| KICK | Analog-style bass drum — tune, decay, drive |
| SNARE | Noise + tone mix — tune, snap, decay |
| CLAP | Layered clap — spread, decay, tone |
| C.HH / O.HH | Closed/Open hi-hat — tune, decay, tone |
| CYM | Cymbal — tune, decay, tone |
Synth Voices
Section titled “Synth Voices”| Voice | Character |
|---|---|
| BASS | 303-style acid bass — cutoff, resonance, envelope, accent |
| LEAD | Moog-style lead — filter, envelope, detune |
| FM | FM synthesis — ratio, modulation index, feedback |
| WAVE | Wavetable — morph through waveforms |
| SMPL | Sampler — load samples, slice, pitch-shift, 8-voice polyphony |
Envelope
Section titled “Envelope”Synth voices use an ADSR envelope to shape how the sound evolves over time. Drag the knobs to see the envelope shape change:
- ATK (Attack) — how quickly the sound reaches full volume
- DCY (Decay) — how quickly it drops to sustain level
- SUS (Sustain) — the held level while a note is active
- REL (Release) — how long the tail rings after release
Wavetable
Section titled “Wavetable”The WAVE voice morphs through waveforms. Turn the WAVE knob to blend between saw, square, triangle, sine, and pulse:
Morph between waveforms: saw → square → tri → sine → pulse
Presets
Section titled “Presets”Each voice comes with factory presets. Tap the preset name in the Dock to browse. You can also save your own — dial in a sound you like, then long-press the preset name to save.
Per-Step Lock
Section titled “Per-Step Lock”Enable P-LOCK in the Dock, then select a step and turn knobs. Sound changes apply to that step only — the rest of the pattern keeps its original sound. This is how you create filter sweeps, accent patterns, and timbral variation within a single pattern.
Try it: toggle P-LOCK on, tap an active step, then tweak a knob. Hit Play to hear the difference. Locked parameters show a blue dot on the knob.
Tap CLR to clear locked parameters from a step.
Tracks
Section titled “Tracks”You can have up to 16 tracks. Tap + to add a new track, or use the REMOVE button to delete one.
- M — Mute (silence a track)
- S — Solo (hear only soloed tracks; additive)
Switch voice types with the Dock tabs: DRUM / SYNTH / SMPL.
Each track has 4 send effects: Reverb, Delay, Glitch, and Granular. Turn up the send level to route a track into an effect — each track’s sends are independent.
| Effect | What it does |
|---|---|
| Reverb | Room / Hall / Shimmer |
| Delay | Digital / Dotted 8th / Tape |
| Glitch | Bitcrush / Redux / Stutter |
| Granular | Cloud / Stretch / Reverse |
Each effect has 3 flavours and an XY pad for real-time control — see Effects for details.
Insert FX
Section titled “Insert FX”Each track also has 2 insert FX slots arranged in a serial chain (Slot 1 → Slot 2). Unlike sends, inserts are processed inline per-track before the send bus. Choose from Reverb, Delay, Glitch, or Distortion — each with its own flavour, mix, and XY controls. Set in the Dock panel under INSERT FX.
