Live editing

When the follow mode is active (by default after startup and after pressing ), the touch strip can be used for live performance and live editing.

CV and Combined channels

Pressing the touch strip causes the selected CV value to be recorded into the currently playing step. For a Combined channel, that also means setting a gate on that step.

CV value will be determined from the position on the touch strip subject to scale and range settings.

Ties and slides

Support for CV channel slides added in release 2026-10-20

If a touch strip is held for a duration of multiple steps, these steps will be tied.

Tied steps are represented with darker LEDs. Last of the tied steps will have a regular gate length.

For a CV or a Combined channel, hold and drag on the slider for the duration of more than one step to create a slide:

Slide steps will change their CV value linearly for the duration of the whole step, starting with the value recorded for that step and ending with the value recorded for the next step.

Gate channels

Tapping the touch strip in any position will set a gate on the currently playing step.

Holding the touch strip for more than one step will create a tie, same as for Combined channels.

Drummer's Follow

Added in release 2026-10-20

When all 4 channels are GATE channels, Follow mode (and likewise the Perfrom mode) behaves in a special way. The slider is divided into 4 equal length sections corresponding to the channels. Tapping a channel's region will put a gate on that channel:

Several regions can be held at once, and holding a region across steps ties them, same as for a single Gate channel.

Performing and editing in follow mode

We give you a few ways to step-program sequences. This is the most direct one, allowing you to hear the notes when programming.

When the play head is reset (+ or reset trigger), you can use the touch strip to perform without altering the sequence.

Pressing a step button when the slider is held will write a CV value (and gate for combo mode) to that step:

Moving around the sequence

and buttons will move the playing step across the sequence. + resets all sequences.

Performing without recording

Added in release 2026-10-20

Press + to play the active channel from the touch strip without changing the sequence. While the strip is held, it drives the channel's CV, gate, or both, depending on the channel mode:
