Bluetooth

The settings on this screen will determine how your Force hardware's Bluetooth connection works, so you can use
Bluetooth MIDI controllers (e.g., LPD8 Wireless or LPK25 Wireless) or a Bluetooth computer keyboard with it. These
settings are available only when used in Standalone Mode.
To activate or deactivate Bluetooth connectivity on your Force hardware, tap the On/Off selector. The available
Bluetooth devices will appear in the panel below it under Available Devices. The Bluetooth devices that have
already paired to your Force hardware will appear under Paired Devices.
To select a Bluetooth device, tap it.
To pair a selected Bluetooth device (in the Available Devices section), tap Pair.
To connect to a selected Bluetooth device (in the Paired Devices section), tap Connect.
To disconnect from a connected Bluetooth device (in the Paired Devices section), tap Disconnect.
To return an available Bluetooth device to its original state, tap Remove.

Sequencer

The settings on this screen determine how sequencing works in the Event View and in the Step Sequencer.
Display Resolution: This is the display resolution (in PPQN—pulses per quarter note) of pulse values in certain areas
of the operating system. Please note that this setting affects the display resolution, not the timing.
Record Pad Aftertouch Events: When enabled, pad aftertouch data (from the Force hardware's pressure-sensitive
pads) will be recorded. When disabled, pad aftertouch data will be ignored.
Place Events Recorded During Count-In at Start Point: When enabled, pressing a pad during the recording's
pre-count will record that note event at the start of the recording (this is how the MPC3000 worked). When disabled,
no notes will be recorded until the pre-count is finished and recording has begun.
Note: This setting is ignored when recording with the Arpeggiator active.
Recording Note Length: This determines if/how events are cropped if they exceed the length of the current Clip when
recording:
Truncate to Clip Length: If the length of an event exceeds the length of the clip, it will be truncated. This
ensures that the event will not overlap itself when the clip loops.
Truncate to Clip End: If an event exceeds the length of the clip, it will be truncated to the end of the current
clip. In other words, the event will stop playing when the clip ends or loops.
As Played: Events will play back exactly as they were recorded, even if they overlap themselves when the clip
loops.
For example, if you record a note starting on the second bar of a 4-bar loop and
hold it for 5 bars, the note would end: at bar 7 (As Played), at bar 6 (To Clip
Length), or bar 4 (To Clip End). See image for details.
Playback Note Length: This determines if/how events are cropped if they exceed the length of the current Clip during
playback:
As Recorded: Events will play back exactly as they were recorded, even if they overlap themselves when the clip
loops.
Truncate to Clip Length: If the length of an event exceeds the length of the clip, it will be truncated. This
ensures that the event will not overlap itself when the clip loops.
Knob Swing Control Applies TC Settings on Release: When enabled, turning the knob assigned to Swing and
then releasing it will immediately apply that Swing setting. When disabled, you must use the Timing Correct window
to apply the Swing setting.
