Functions - Persistent Between Modes

Shift+Break Button: Restore Default Settings

While holding shift, pressing the Break button will restore all settings back to their defaults. The
LED for this button will pulsate white to indicate that it is the restore default settings function. When
pressed it will blink blue to indicate the settings have been restored to their defaults.
This sets:
• Windowing back to default windowing (2%)
• Bend off
• Break off
• Freeze off
• Mode to Macro Mode
• Stereo behavior to Unique Mode.
• Gates to Latching
• Break Jack set to primary function (not reset/sync).
• Freeze button behavior to Latching Mode

Shift+Corrupt Button: Corrupt As Buffer Reset

While holding shift the corrupt LED will indicate whether the corrupt Gate input jack is configured
as normal (blue), or as a reset input (green).
When configured as a reset jack, the corrupt input will cause the internal or external clock to re-
sync. This can be useful for synchronizing with a DAW or manually restarting the buffer, and ran-
domizing Macro Mode controls when running with a slow internal clock.
In internal clock mode, this will re-sync the internal clock immediately, causing new audio to load
into the buffer, possibly resulting in silence during certain bend/break settings. This does move the
playback heads into a reset position immediately which can cause clicks.
In external clock mode, this resets the subdivision counter to align the divided clock with an exter-
nal beat. This will take effect on the next clock pulse.

Shift+Freeze Button: Freeze Behavior

While holding shift, the Freeze LED will indicate the behavior of the Freeze Button. Pressing the
Freeze button while holding shift will toggle between these modes:
• Blue - Freeze button is latching, releasing the button will toggle the state between frozen and
unfrozen, on the next clock cycle.
• Green - Freeze button is momentary, pressing the button engages freeze instantly, releasing the
button disengages.
