Tiptop Trigger Riot - Manual (Page 18)

Pulse Width:
Pulse Width is the length of time the output pulse remains high (5V) and is a per-
centage of the division. Pulse Width is calculated based on the Division plus Clock
and Time Shift, so shifted divisions will have proportionally shorter pulse widths.
Setting the pulse width to 0 will set the pulse width to a single internal clock cycle
no matter what the division which is useful for drum triggering. The default is 25%.
Examples:
Divide 16, Pulse Width 25% : Trigger high on count 16 to 19, low 20 to31
Divide 16, Pulse Width 75% : Trigger high on count 16 to 27, low 28 to 31
Divide 16, Clock Shift 8, Pulse Width 25%: Trigger high count 24 to 29, low 30 to
31
Note: Pulse Width is additive so longer divisions with large pulse widths may block
shorter divisions from firing. The pulse width is a great tool for creating rhythmic
variations.
Making a Preset Loop:
Set a Cycle:
- Press BPM/CYCLE until ‘CYCE’ displays.
- Turn the master knob to select the clock number (in 16th notes) for the end of
the pattern
- Press BPM/CYCLE until ‘CYCS’
- Turn the master knob to set the Start of the pattern
- example: set CYCE to 68 and CYCS to 4 to have a 4 bar pattern of 16th notes
which resets to the 4th count
Turn Looping On/Off:
- Hold Loop/B2 until ‘LOOP’ displays.
- Use the Tempo knob to change On/Off. ‘LPOn’ will display if looping is on
‘LPOf’ will display if looping is off
Set Loop Start:
- Hold Start/B3 until ‘LPSt’ displays
- Press Bank and then Preset to select the loop start
