PATTERN TYPE Control
The PATTERN TYPE control selects from one of 32 internal patterns which display on the background
of the LED matrix and determine which of the underlying scale notes will play when the playback ball
lands on them. There is a range of geometric and other special patterns to choose from, all of which
provide different kinds of notes and rhythms depending on the motion type used. There is also a
pattern with every note enabled which may be useful for testing and hearing different motion patterns
and scales in their entirety.
MOTION TYPE Control
The MOTION TYPE control affects how the playback ball moves around on the display. Each motion

motion types which are selected by using the MOTION TYPE control. Pressing on the control resets
the motion playback position to the first step.

intersecting lines. The horizontal line represents the row, and the vertical line represents the motion
number from 1-8 along that row. This allows all 64 motions to be shown by the intersection of two
