7. INTERACTING WITH THE SYNTAKT
25
• In MUTE mode you mute the trigs on the sequencer tracks, not the audio on the tracks.
• You can also use QUICK MUTE to mute and unmute sequencer tracks. Press and hold
[FUNC] and then press the [TRACK] keys to mute or unmute tracks.
• Syntakt remembers the last used version of MUTE mode and will access this one first
when you press [FUNC] + [BANK]. This also applies to QUICK MUTE.
7.11 TRIG MODIFIERS
Using trig modifiers is a feature that lets you manually trig the sound of a track and, at the same time, add a
selected modifier to the trig.
Usually, when you press a [TRIG] key, the device plays the sound of the selected track according to the
track’s parameters settings. Using the trig modifiers lets you trig the tracks sound but with one (or more) of
its parameter(s) modified. How they are modified depends on the setup of the selected modifier.
You can use up to four kinds of modifiers, with each modifier having four dierent settings.
Using the trig modifiers is a performance functionality mainly meant to be played live in the default play
mode. But, it can also be recorded to the sequencer in LIVE RECORDING mode in the form of parameter
locks (or retrig settings, for the retrig modifier).
7.11.1 SETTING UP TRIG MODIFIERS
1. Press [FUNC] + [TRIG 13–16] to select which modifier (RETRIG, VELOCITY, MOD A, MOD, B) you
want to set up.
2. Press [FUNC] + [UP/DOWN] to enter the setup of the selected modifier.
3. Use DATA ENTRY knobs D to select which destination parameter you want to modify. This parame-
ter is only available when you chose modifier MOD A or MOD B.
4. Use DATA ENTRY knobs E–H to select the modifier values you wish to use for the four modifier
keys.
5. Use the LEVEL/DATA knob to set the TRIG parameter to ON or OFF depending on how you want
to use the trig modifiers (see below).
7.11.2 USING TRIG MODIFIERS
There are two dierent options for using the trig modifiers to trig the track sound. Set the TRIG parame-
ter to ON or OFF to select option.
With the TRIG parameter set to ON.
1. Press [FUNC] + [TRIG 13–16] to select which modifier you want to use.
2. Press [TRIG 13–16] to trigger the sound on the active track with the selected modifier value applied.
or
With the TRIG parameter set to OFF.
1. Press [FUNC] + [TRIG 13–16] to select which modifier you want to use.
2. Press and hold [TRIG 13–16], to select modifier value and then press [TRIG 1–12] to trig the track’s
sound with the selected modifier value applied.
7.12 MIDI NOTES
Some functions on the Syntakt can be triggered by sending MIDI note values from an external MIDI device
(a MIDI keyboard or a computer, for example) connected to the Syntakt via a standard MIDI cable or a USB
2.0 A to B connector cable.
