Toolbox User Manual v 2.1.2

Main Screen Overview

There's a lot happening on the main screen so let's take a minute to get familiar with it. The black bar along the top of the
screen displays the toolbox playback state and recording context. This top bar is visible on all screens. The number pair on the
left displays the overall playback time in measures and beats. The text in the middle displays the recording context. In Song
Mode, this will display the name of the section that you are recording into. When not in Song Mode, this identifies the event
sequencer that will capture the recording. You can toggle the state of Song Mode by touching the Song button at the bottom of
the main screen, then touching the Song button at the top of the Song screen, next to the Loop button. Song Mode is active
when the Song buttons are blue. In the top right-hand corner, a progress bar displays the current playback progress of the
event sequencer or section that has recording context.
The toolbox Main screen shows thumbnails representations of the event sequencer cells, with a blue progress bar across the
bottom of each. The CV generator cells show the name of the cell and a blue bar that shows the current state of the CV output.
Along the left side the EXT cells show the state of the CV Modulator inputs. Along the bottom of the screen are the mode
buttons and the transport buttons. The columns and rows displayed on the screen are mapped to the input and output jacks
on the module. You can touch the individual elements on the screen in columns 2 through 5 and then push INFO to access
parameter screens for each element, where you can also change the type of element used in that cell. Touch the EXT4 cell in
the lower left and then push INFO to access a few preset level settings. Touch the Keys, Song, and PSET buttons to access
different modes. You can also touch the Play button in the lower right corner to toggle playback of the activated sequences on
and off. The Play button is blue when the module is playing. Finally, touch the Rec button to record into the current recording
context.
Main Screen Overview
There is a lot of information in each of the cells in columns 2 through 5. You can quickly identify the cell type based on the
thumbnail. Toolbox supports two different event sequencer cell types and five different CV generator cell types. These cell
types represent different methods for defining the signal that is sent out through the Gate, Control Voltage, and MIDI output
jacks. We will go into more detail about this later. For event sequencers, the cell displays a thumbnail image of the note or gate
sequence. The event sequencers send out Gate signals that can be used to trigger events. The letter in the lower left corner of
the square represents the selected layer of the event sequencer. Each event sequencer may have 4 layers. All layers must be
the same sequencer type. A white frame around an event sequencer indicates that sequence is activated and will be played in
accordance with the quantization settings when you touch the Play button. Note that most CV generator cells are always
active. They do not send out a Gate signal. SEQ CV generators only send out a signal when toolbox Is playing. A blue bar across
the bottom of event sequencer cells represents the progress through the current loop iteration for the sequence. You can also
