      Tetrapad Expander

      Tête is the long awaited and highly anticipated expander for the Tetrapad.

      Some of the key features:
      Three primary modes: VOLTAGES, NOTES and COMBO
      VOLTAGES mode: Up to 16 voltage storage locations (grid) with 8 voltages stored at each location.
      You have the choice to record and playback your recall of these locations in a looper style (just play freely and spend arbitrary amount of time at any location) or as a clocked sequence (SH-101 style). Additionally you can traverse the matrix using the X and Y CV inputs to get Cartesian style sequencing.
      There is also variable slew that allows you to morph/glide between the values.

      NOTES mode:
      You can create sequences or loops in chord, scales or keyboard mode. The isomorphic keyboard grid can vary from 4 notes to 12 notes max. There are real-time performance looping, transposition and inversion capabilities via the CV inputs and dedicated loop button. In sequencer mode each step can be a tie, rest, or gate with size 25/50/75%. Basically we have created a way to very quickly and intuitively make chord sequences that are very musical and easy to manipulate. It is difficult to summarize in words but we will be sure to create some videos to demonstrate how easy and fun this is to play with. It definitely represents something unique in the landscape of Eurorack sequencers.

      COMBO mode:
      In this mode you can loop record your performance on any combination of the following functions:
      fader, bipolar fader, drum hit, switch or LFO. Kind of like Elektron style parameter locking but all of the motions is recorded continuously instead of just in slices. Instantly turn a simple patch into a highly animated and complex beast.

      With all of the above mentioned loop recording modes you can very easily overdub since the Tetrapad detects pressure/pressing. In combo mode you can erase individual channels.

      All modes allow for internal or external clocking and configurable syncing.

      All of the modes have special XYZ CV modulation assignments and make use of the dedicated CV outputs.

      For example, in Looper mode one of the CV outputs generates a continuous ramp that represents the position in the loop. This can be used with devices like the Planar 2 in Interpolation mode to sync the recorded patterns together no matter what tempo.
