SCRAMBLEHold SETTINGS + TRACKRandomize the checked Pitch, Decay, Color, Shape, Sweep and Contour parameters once per hold. Choose parameters in Mod Setup > Track > SCRM. Pitch/Decay default Off; Color/Shape/Sweep/Contour default On. Marked steps use the same checklist without changing the base sound. Checklists save per pattern with Save Project. A short tap without held steps opens Mod Setup.
SCRAMBLE step / deleteHold a step + quick SETTINGS + TRACK; delete normallyToggle SCRAMBLE on that step. Deleting its trig clears the mark and locks; a replacement trig starts clean. Neighboring steps and tracks keep their settings.
Control All setupTRACK + TRIG 1–6Use step keys 1-6, not track pads. Toggle which audio tracks follow Control All; the selected track always follows.
Audio beat repeatHold TRACK + RETRIG , then hold a TRIG 1–16The held step selects a repeat division for included audio tracks. Release a modifier or division pad to stop.
Repeat mode latchHold TRACK + double-tap RETRIGRelease both; hold a TRIG to repeat, release it to stop. BACK exits. PLAY/STOP and FUNC + SETTINGS/PATTERN temporary save/reload remain available.

Crusher Rate / BitsCRUSH 1 or 2: TIME / FUNC + TIMERate 0-127, about 750 Hz-48 kHz / Bits 2-16. Lower Rate or Bits is rougher. CRUSH 1 keeps the direct signal clean; CRUSH 2 blends direct clean/crushed. DELAY SEND is labeled Crush Send; no delay echoes in Crush modes.
Effect settings and saveSave ProjectEach pattern remembers its selected FX types, added controls and extra sends. Save the project to keep them after reloading. Blank patterns use standard Delay/Reverb and default added controls. A queued pattern applies its FX when it begins playing. Added FX controls have no p-lock/LFO destinations; native track sends support locks.
Per-track FX routingTap SETTINGS + TRACK > Global > FX > MST / TRKMST shares effect selection. TRK makes the existing effect gestures follow the selected track; native heavy reverbs and delays remain shared. Release TRACK to apply an effect; BACK cancels. Effect-menu movement takes two encoder events per selection. Save Project preserves pattern choices.
Stop effect tailsPress STOP twiceFirst STOP preserves tails. Double STOP invokes All Sound Off and clears reverb/delay tails, including PS1. This is a repaired stock gesture, not a new shortcut.

Machines and sound controls

FeatureControlsBehavior
Machine browsingPress MACHINES, then turn DATA; press DATA to commit in Sil modeMod Setup > Global > Mac: Sil browses without changing the sound until DATA is pressed; Stk applies each selection immediately. The machine screen retains its stock layout. MIDI Out is last.
Added-machine starting pointsCheck the named controlNumeric controls such as TINY Tone/Excite, PUNCH Color/Contour and Elder Wave/Warp/Noise/Motion run from 0 at the minimum to 127 at the maximum; 64 is the midpoint. Starting settings need not be zero. PITCH and FINE are centered: displayed 0 means no pitch offset. SHAPE model selectors and PUNCH ratios use their own scales. A minimum value is not a universal clean-sound setting.
Elder controlsSelect Elder in MACHINESCOLOR = Wave; SHAPE = Warp; SWEEP = Noise; CONTOUR = Motion. PITCH, DECAY, PUNCH, Gate and Fine remain available. Original synth inspired by Junior by Fors. Starting values: Wave 0, Warp 0, Noise 0, Motion 0, Decay 50.
TINY controlsSelect TINY in MACHINESCOLOR: Tone; SHAPE: Model 0–51; SWEEP: Mod; CONTOUR: Excite. Starting values: Tone 64, Model 0, Mod 64, Excite 32, Decay 60.
Shadow controlsSelect Shadow after TINY in MACHINESCOLOR: Grain; SHAPE: Density; SWEEP: Spread; CONTOUR: Chaos. PUNCH: distortion plus ratcheting attack. Pitch, Fine, Decay and Gate are available. Pulsar/noise synth inspired by Opal Dust by Fors.
WAVE starterSelect WAVE and playAV-WAVE-Morph is already loaded: 16 morphable frames, no first import required. COLOR selects position; SHAPE adds envelope movement. Custom tables replace the starter on their track.
WAVE folder navigationBACK in the WAVE browserBACK goes up one folder; at /Wavetables it closes the selector.
ACID Decay and envelopeDECAY; Global > ACID > A / F / AFDECAY sets the filter envelope decay. A selects amp, F filter (default), AF both. In A/AF, Gate Off permits amp decay while held; Gate On sustains until note-off. Arpeggiator and retrig notes restart the selected envelope.
ACID AccentVelocity 97-127Progressive filter transient and level accent. Velocity 0-96 keeps the normal unaccented response; native velocity volume response is retained.
SY BITS fine detuneFUNC + COLOR0.01-semitone steps from -24.00 to +24.00. Plain COLOR changes whole semitones; FUNC + COLOR adjusts the fractional part. Supports sound saving and parameter locks.
RETROSYNMACHINES, immediately before MIDI OutCOLOR, SHAPE (six models), SWEEP and CONTOUR. PITCH, DECAY, Gate and Punch are available.
PUNCH controlsSelect PUNCH before MIDI OutSHAPE selects KIK, TOM, BNG, CNG, TAI, TIM, MAR, DJB, BLK, GNG, BUB or ZAP. COLOR controls timbre; SWEEP selects the ratio; FUNC + SWEEP adjusts between ratios. CONTOUR and DECAY shape the sound. Engine by100demons, MIT. Starting values: Color 64, KIK, ratio 4:1, Contour 40, Decay 50.
ESTUS advanced controlsSETTINGS + COLOR / SHAPE / SWEEP / CONTOURWaveform / FM Ratio / Drive / Transient. Works during playback. Hold a step with the same gesture to parameter-lock the advanced setting. Some controls are unused by particular engines. SETTINGS + MACHINES + SWEEP still selects filter type.
ACID glideSelected ACID track: SETTINGS + PITCHOFF, or 1-127 for approximately 50-360 ms glide time. Overlapping LEN values link notes. Default glide is about 50 ms. Saved per track with Save Project; no per-step glide locks.
ACID legatoSelected ACID track: SETTINGS + DECAYTurn left for OFF, right for ON (default). With legato ON, overlapping ordinary notes do not restart the envelope. With glide OFF they change pitch immediately. Legato OFF restarts the envelope; glide can remain active. Arpeggiator/retrig notes always restart it.

Mod Setup

Tap SETTINGS + TRACK and release to open Mod Setup. Hold the combo to run SCRAMBLE once instead; continuing to hold does not repeat it. With a TRIG held, a quick tap toggles its Scramble mark. Choose Global, Track or Song first. DATA selects a row; click to edit, turn, click again to return. Stk = Stock; SIL = Silent; LTC = Latch.

FeatureControlsBehavior
Global / Track / SongDATA enters; BACK returnsGlobal: Pad, Mac, USB, Num, Mute, Dly, DX, QntM, Grv, LFOs, FX, ACID (when installed), JUMP. Track: SCRM, S.Chn, Human. Song opens the arrangement grid. GOV chooses voice-cut ordering.
Access and sound editingTap SETTINGS + TRACKAvailable from the main screen or machine selection. DATA navigates Mod Setup; sound knobs show the edited parameter for two seconds, then return to the same menu position. BACK closes the popup first, then Mod Setup; machine selection stays open underneath.
MacSil / StkMachine browsing: Sil requires DATA to commit; Stk applies while browsing. Saved globally when playback and recording stop.
PadStk / SIL Default: StkStk keeps the original track-pad behavior: a pad selects and plays its track. Silent selects the track without sounding it; hold TRACK and press a track pad to select and play.
USB2ch / 6ch Default: 2ch2ch sends the stereo mix to the computer. 6ch sends six separate mono tracks, before pan and without the mix delay/crusher/reverb/chorus returns. Stereo audio from the computer to Cycles works in both modes. Stop playback before changing this toggle. Changing modes reconnects the USB audio device; select its new channel layout in your DAW if needed.
NumOff / On Default: OffOff keeps the original volume and pan display. On shows numeric volume and pan values when you adjust those controls.
MuteStk / LTC Default: StkStk keeps the original momentary mute controls. With LTC selected, hold TRACK and tap FUNC to stay in mute mode, then tap track pads to mute or unmute. Tap FUNC again to leave. In latched mute mode, hold FUNC and press a track pad to solo it; press the soloed pad again, or leave mute mode, to restore the previous mutes.
Quantized mute/soloTap SETTINGS + TRACK; QntMTurn it On or Off and select the time division your mutes and solos are quantized to. Off by default.
DelayStk / Div Default: StkStk preserves the original Delay Time display and timing. Div displays musical divisions, including dotted and triplet values, and corrects the matching timing positions to exact divisions of the tempo. Other Delay Time positions retain their original timing; this does not quantize every knob position. Applies while using Delay mode.
DXOff / On Default: OffCPU monitor: Global DX On enables SETTINGS + BACK. PAGE cycles CPU Load, Recent Cuts (all tracks) and Track Totals. DATA clears; double-BACK exits. Transport, knobs and trigs remain available; single BACK preserves undo. DX Off disables access.
SCRMDATA opens; turn and press DATA; BACK returnsSix checkboxes per track: Pitch, Decay, Color, Shape, Sweep, Contour. Pitch/Decay default Off; Color/Shape/Sweep/Contour default On. Each pattern keeps its own six checklists; Save Project preserves them after reloading. Wizard allows Pitch/Decay; its sample/mode controls stay excluded.
Sidechain routingSelect source; tap SETTINGS + TRACK; S.Chn > DATACheck the five other tracks, Rev. (reverb-slot return), and/or Del. (delay-slot return). DATA toggles each target. Dpt/Atk/Hld/Rel and Mute apply to all selected targets. Choices save per source and pattern with Save Project. Multiple sources use the deepest duck on each target. DUCK is a separate delay type.
Dpt / Atk / Hld / RelScroll below checkboxes; click DATA, turn, click to finishDpt = Depth, Atk = Attack, Hld = Hold, Rel = Release. Depth: 0–100%, 16 levels. Atk: 0–160 ms. Hold: 0–120 ms. Rel: 10 ms–3 s. BACK finishes editing, then returns to Mod Setup. Start with a four-on-the-floor source, Depth 60%, Attack 0 ms, Hold 0 ms, Release 150 ms. Untick all targets to disable that source.
Mute (Sidechain)Select source; S.Chn > Mute; click DATAOn: muting or solo-excluding the source blocks its sequencer triggers. Manual pad/TRIG hits still drive the full ducking envelope. Off: muted sequencer triggers also keep ducking (default). Saves per source and pattern with Save Project.
Per-pattern savingSave Project after editsSidechain routing and controls, six Scramble checklists, FX types and added FX settings belong to each pattern. Save the project to keep changes after reloading. Blank patterns have Sidechain off and the default Scramble checklist. Queued changes apply when the next pattern starts.
GrooveGlobal > Grv > On / TypeOff uses stock Swing and remembers Type. On enables Boom Bap, Disco, Reggae, Bongo, Caixixi, Highlife or Kuduro; Swing controls strength. No stock Swing entry in Type.
CHORD StrumGlobal > Grv > Str-80..80 ms between CHORD voices; sign reverses direction,0 plays together. Independent of Groove On/Off. Four voices at80ms span240ms.
Humanize Apply / UndoTrack > Human > Trk / Tim / Vel / Apply / UndoSet timing/velocity amounts0..100 for a track or All. Stop playback, then Apply writes changes to the pattern; Undo restores the prior values. No randomization during playback.
Audio LFO countGlobal > LFOs1/2/3/4 LFOs per audio track; default2. Saves globally while stopped. Disabled LFOs stop running and retain their settings.
FX modeGlobal > FX > MST / TRKMST uses shared effect selection; TRK follows the selected track for light FX choices. Heavy native reverbs and delays stay shared. Use the same TRACK + SIZE/TIME gestures in either mode.
ACID envelope (Full / Machine Optional)Global > ACID > A / F / AFOne globally saved choice for all ACID tracks. A = amp only; F = filter only (default); AF = both. Gate OFF allows amp decay while held in A/AF; Gate ON sustains until note-off. Save completes while stopped and idle. Lite has no ACID machine.
JUMPGlobal > JUMP > Off / OnDirect Pattern Jump preference; saved globally while stopped.
GOVGlobal > GOV > Lod / Trk; default LodLod retains the quietest eligible voice policy. Trk cuts the lowest-numbered eligible track first when the overload governor needs a cut. Saves globally while stopped; eligibility, thresholds and fades are unchanged.
Track > SwapFrom / To / SwapExchange two tracks in the current pattern while stopped.

BACK closes Mod Setup and saves its global preferences. If playback is running, the save waits until it stops. Stop playback and allow saving to finish before powering off. Sidechain routing/settings, Scramble checklists and FX types/added settings are per pattern: Save Project preserves these after reloading. Closing a submenu alone does not save the project.
