Step Duty
Purpose
Edit the per-step duty cycle (note length) of the selected sequencer. Each of the 16 steps stores a value 1–8, and that value indexes the sequencer’s own duty curve, which picks one of 16 fixed note lengths. On the default curve the eight rows are:
| Row and value | Note length |
|---|---|
| 1 (bottom) | 1/64 (0.25× a step) |
| 2 | 1/32 (0.5×) |
| 3 | 1/16T (0.667×) |
| 4 | 1/32. (0.75×) |
| 5 | 1/16 (1.0×: one whole step, the identity) |
| 6 | 1/8T (1.333×) |
| 7 | 1/16. (1.5×) |
| 8 (top) | 1/8 (2.0×) |
The curve is per-sequencer and editable, so a row can be pointed at any of
the 16 note lengths, up to 1/1 (see Arp curves).
The sequencer’s duty arp then lengthens or shortens the step’s note, one
note length at a time: an arp value of 5 plays the step’s length unchanged,
each value above 5 one length longer and each value below 5 one shorter,
stopping at 1/64 and 1/1 (see Velocity and duty arps).
Interaction
Columns are steps (LHS = 1–8, RHS = 9–16), rows are values (row 1 bottom = 1 … row 8 top = 8). Each step lights a single pad at the height of its stored value, not a bar filled from the bottom; a positioner colour marks the playing step, and columns where a row plays a trig (a stored trig or a Euclidean hit) are shaded slate behind the contour. Values and shading both follow the sequencer’s rotation. Pressing a pad writes that row’s value to that step instantly. No modifier needed.
Shortcuts
| Gesture | Where | Action | Modifiers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Press | Where LP grid | Action Set the step (column) to the pressed row’s duty | Modifiers none |
| SHIFT + MUTE + press row R | Where LP grid | Action Reset: all 16 steps → value of row R | Modifiers shift+mute |
| SHIFT + MUTE + press | Where LHS LP col 9 | Action Reset: all 16 steps → 6 (row 6, 1/8T on the default curve) |
Modifiers shift+mute |
| SHIFT + SOLO + press row R | Where LP grid | Action Randomise: all 16 steps gaussian around row R (clamped to rows 1–8) | Modifiers shift+solo |
| SHIFT + SOLO + press | Where LHS LP col 9 | Action Randomise: all 16 steps uniform random across values 1–8 | Modifiers shift+solo |
| Row-mode gestures | Where Row mutes | Action Row play-mode controls still apply (see “Row mode” in Trig view reference) | Modifiers any |
