User Manual

Spring Mode
This mode simulates a simple spring that can be deflected both up and down from its default
position, which is the middle of the Modulation Strip. The current position of the spring (the
parameter value) is indicated by a blue LED. If you put your finger on the strip, the value in-
stantly jumps to the corresponding position and stays there as long as you keep your finger on
the strip. When you remove your finger, the value springs back to its default position. This be-
havior is called Absolute (alternatively, Standard can be set to Relative, see below). This mode
mimics the behavior of the Pitch Strip. In Spring mode, the following additional settings are
available for the Modulation Strip:
▪ Display menu: Lets you select one of two ways to display the current state of the Modula-
tion Strip: Bar or Dot. Bar displays a bar of lit LEDs from the default position of the strip to
the current value; whereas Dot displays a dot of lit LEDs at the current value.
▪ Strength slider: Adjusts the rate at which the spring rebounds to its default position. The
higher the Strength setting, the quicker the value will spring back to its default position.
▪ Touch Ctl menu: Lets you select between Absolute (default behaviour) and Relative. When
using Relative, the current value of the controlled parameter is preserved when you put
your finger anywhere on the Modulation Strip. You can then move your finger up and down
to change the parameter by the corresponding amount.
Ball Mode
This mode simulates a ball that is attracted by the gravity of your finger. The current position
of the ball (the parameter value) is indicated by a blue LED. If you put your finger on the strip,
the ball will move towards your finger and stop as it reaches the finger’s position. If you re-
move your finger before, the ball sustains its momentum and continues to move along the
Modulation Strip until the friction of the surface causes it to slow down and stop. Alternatively,
you can “throw” the ball by putting your finger on the ball’s current position, dragging it in any
direction, and removing your finger. The faster you drag your finger, the faster the ball will get.
In Ball mode, the following additional settings are available for the Modulation Strip:
▪ Display menu: Lets you select one of two ways to display the current state of the Modula-
tion Strip: Bar or Dot. Bar displays a bar of lit LEDs from the default position of the strip to
the current value; whereas Dot displays a dot of lit LEDs at the current value.
