Hemisphere Gestures
Operating Hemispheres makes use of button combinations to perform various actions. See below for a complete list.
Certain applet (or parameter editing) contexts may override the default behaviour of the UP and DOWN buttons &/or the LEFT and RIGHT encoders.
Note for T4.1 hardware, A corresponds to UP and B corresponds to DOWN.
| Action | Gesture | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Change left Hemisphere applet | Double press UP button to enter help screen. Select applet name with cursor (scroll with RIGHT encoder if necessary) and press RIGHT encoder to enter applet selection menu. Scroll menu with RIGHT encoder and press to select. Press UP or DOWN to escape without changing applet. | |
| Change right Hemisphere applet | Double press DOWN button to enter help screen. Select applet name with cursor (scroll with RIGHT encoder if necessary) and press RIGHT encoder to enter applet selection menu. Scroll menu with RIGHT encoder and press to select. Press UP or DOWN to escape without changing applet. | |
| Open applet help screen | Double press UP button for left hemisphere, double press DOWN button for right hemisphere | |
| Open applet full screen view | Open help screen (see above), and rotate LEFT encoder. Applets that make use of full screen include Scope, EuclidX, and Ebb&LFO | |
| Open Clock / Trigger Setup | Press both UP + DOWN buttons together | Adjust internal BPM, swing, external sync, and per-trigger clock mult/div; remap trigger inputs (also available within the Config); and manually perform triggers. |
| Cycle Internal Clock state | Long-press LEFT Encoder (or press Z on T4.1) | Stop -> Arm (i.e. play on next input trigger) -> Start |
| Open Hemisphere Config menu | Long-press DOWN button (or press Y on T4.1). Scroll pages with LEFT encoder, scroll options with RIGHT encoder | Load/save presets; adjust trigger length; select screensaver and cursor mode; toggle auto-MIDI out; trigger and CV input mapping; quantizer settings; applet filtering |
| AuxButton | Highlight parameter for editing, press select button (UP or DOWN, depending on Hemisphere) | This gesture is only enabled in certain applets for secondary functions. Use it to mute/unmute steps in DivSeq, SequenceX, Seq32, etc.; re-randomize sequences in Shredder; Toggle additional CV mapping in DuoTET; and directly edit the current Quantizer engine |
| Invoke screensaver | Long-press UP button | Global |
| Return to main menu | Long-press RIGHT encoder | Global, execution continues in the background. |
| Save Settings to EEPROM | Long-press RIGHT encoder again while on main menu | Why not use presets instead? |
| Quick access Save/Load preset slots (T4.1 only) | Press X. Toggle between load and save by rotating LEFT encoder. Select slot by rotating RIGHT encoder, and press to engage. | This menu is also accessible via the floating config menu |
| Enter Audio DSP (T4.1 only) | Press X + Y buttons together. Exit by pressing A or B |
Quadrants Gestures
This mode, only available on T4.1 hardware, allows for 4 applets to be loaded simultaneously. For reference, these applets are listed as Northeast through Southwest (NE being the upper left, SW being the lower right). SE and SW applets display an inverted name.
Only 2 applets are visible at a given time (although all are active). To swap visibility between NE and SE, press A or X respectively. To swap between NW and SW, press B or Y respectively. The gestures below may first require the target applet to be visible.
| Action | Gesture | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Change NE Hemisphere applet | Double press A button to enter help screen. Select applet name with cursor (scroll with RIGHT encoder if necessary) and press RIGHT encoder to enter applet selection menu. Scroll menu with RIGHT encoder and press to select. Press A/B/X/Y to escape without changing applet. | |
| Change NW Hemisphere applet | Double press B button to enter help screen. Select applet name with cursor (scroll with RIGHT encoder if necessary) and press RIGHT encoder to enter applet selection menu. Scroll menu with RIGHT encoder and press to select. Press A/B/X/Y to escape without changing applet. | |
| Change SE Hemisphere applet | Double press X button to enter help screen. Select applet name with cursor (scroll with RIGHT encoder if necessary) and press RIGHT encoder to enter applet selection menu. Scroll menu with RIGHT encoder and press to select. Press A/B/X/Y to escape without changing applet. | |
| Change SW Hemisphere applet | Double press Y button to enter help screen. Select applet name with cursor (scroll with RIGHT encoder if necessary) and press RIGHT encoder to enter applet selection menu. Scroll menu with RIGHT encoder and press to select. Press A/B/X/Y to escape without changing applet. | |
| Open applet help screen | With applet visible, double press A/B/X/Y (corresponding to applet quadrant) | |
| Open applet full screen view | Open help screen (see above), and rotate LEFT encoder. Applets that make use of full screen include Scope, EuclidX, and Ebb&LFO | |
| Open global view | Press A + Y or B + X together | Monitor input and output voltages of all 4 quadrants at once |
| Open Clock / Trigger Setup | Press both A + B buttons together | Adjust internal BPM, swing, external sync, and per-trigger clock mult/div; remap trigger inputs (also available within the Config); and manually perform triggers. |
| Cycle Internal Clock state | Press Z button | Stop -> Arm (i.e. play on next input trigger) -> Start |
| Open Hemisphere Config menu | Long-press X button or press X + Y together. Scroll pages with LEFT encoder, scroll options with RIGHT encoder | Load/save presets; adjust trigger length; select screensaver and cursor mode; toggle auto-MIDI out; trigger and CV input mapping; quantizer settings; applet filtering |
| AuxButton | Highlight parameter for editing, press A/B/X/Y depending on Quadrant | This gesture is only enabled in certain applets for secondary functions. Use it to mute/unmute steps in DivSeq, SequenceX, Seq32, etc.; re-randomize sequences in Shredder; Toggle additional CV mapping in DuoTET; and directly edit the current Quantizer engine |
