Various shortcuts are also available:
● Long-press the encoder to reset the current stage to its default ratchet count (i.e., ratcheting is
turned off, which is a ratchet count of "1").
● Hold the ALT button while turning the encoder to change the number of ratchets across all
stages simultaneously. Alternatively, you can press the ALT button to enter ALT mode, then turn
the encoder, and then press the ALT button again to exit ALT mode.
● Hold the ALT button and long-press the encoder to reset all stages to their default ratchet count
amounts (i.e., ratcheting is turned off).
Ratcheting with Gate Stretching = OFF
If Gate Stretching is OFF (set in the
pulse into the selected number of separate gates. With a ratchet count of 1, there is no subdivision
and thus no ratcheting — each pulse simply fires off a single gate.
Ratcheting is heard when the value is greater than "1," which means each pulse fires off either 2, 3,
4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 gates before the next pulse.
Look at the example below:
➔ Group 1 (top three rows) illustrates the effect of different Ratchet values when
GATE TYPE = MULTI and the DIV screen's PULSE COUNT DIV is set to '/1.' The red regions
indicate the gates that are generated (and their length).
➔ Group 2 (middle three rows) illustrates the same conditions at Group 1, except the DIV screen's
PULSE COUNT DIV is set to '/2.'
➔ Group 3 (bottom three rows) illustrates the effect of different Ratchet values when
GATE TYPE = SINGLE (in which case PULSE COUNT DIV has no effect).
TRACK MENU), then ratcheting subdivides a single clock
