Tap Recording 
Tap Recording is a special, alternate way to program trigger patterns into Steppy. Instead of
manually turning steps on/off in a grid, Tap Recording lets you tap out your rhythms in real-time.
Tapped recordings always play back in sync with the clock input (using whatever Clock Division,
Gate, Probability, Ratchets and any other settings you’ve currently assigned to a Track.
To enter TAP Recording Mode:
1. Hold the SELECT button while pressing the EDIT button.
The yellow SELECT LED and red EDIT LED will pulse slowly in unison.
To exit TAP Recording Mode:
1. If currently in TAP Recording Mode (both LEDs pulsing), press the EDIT button to exit the mode.
To use TAP Recording Mode:
Each of the four buttons on the top-left correspond to the four track patterns (A, B, C and D). With a
CLK signal at the CLK input, tap these buttons to record trigger patterns in real time into the
corresponding track.
NOTE : You can choose whether or not you want to hear the triggers as you enter them by pressing
the PROB button. Muted taps are indicated by yellow ABCD buttons.
Each of the four buttons on the lower-left also correspond to the four track patterns (A, B, C and D).
Only in this case, pressing a button clears any trigger assigned to the next step. To clear multiple
steps, hold the button down. The longer you hold the button, the more steps you clear (you can
even clear an entire pattern this way).
Each of the four buttons on the upper-right illuminate when the corresponding Track plays Step 1 of
its pattern. The four buttons on the bottom-right light sequentially to provide visual indication of the
incoming clock (tempo).
