Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. The module handles gates and triggers, and the adjustable note values allow for accurate MIDI note assignment from your triggers.
The module provides note value adjustment, which effectively allows for transposition, though not a dedicated transpose knob—you'll need to manually adjust the note values for each trigger.
The accent function modulates MIDI velocity based on trigger signal amplitude, allowing for dynamic expression; it's adjustable, so you can dial in subtle or dramatic accents.
