Tenderfoot μCls Mini Expander for Lattice

Full Description

Expanded functionality

Building on the intuitive nature of the Tenderfoot Lattice, the μCls Mini Expander brings functionality that can help you transform your sequences and bring new ideas to your performances. The Lattice was developed to be quick and easy to use, freeing itself from the shackles of overcomplication, the μCls now bridges the gap and lets you continue to focus on creating beautiful and complex melodies quickly and easily, whilst also giving you more options to chose from. μCls adds a forward/reverse mode controllable with CV or the onboard button, random step selection triggerable by CV, CV selection of the current step and a gate output.

New sequence modes

In standard gate mode, pressing a key will cause the gate output to disable the sequence from moving from that sequence location. In alternative gate mode, the gate will output a ratcheting sequence of gates when a key is pressed, based on the input gate signals. This is particularly useful when you want to add staccato effects to your music, maintaining flow and tempo whilst adding movement. When in either gate mode, the sequence will stop for however long the key is pressed down, putting you in control of your melodic phrases.

Forward/reverse mode can be controlled by a button or with a gate signal. This reverses the sequencer behaviour when this input receives a signal over 2.5V or the button is pressed. The ideal solution to create arpeggio-like sounds where your sequence will fall up and down and cascade into new territories. The random step input will place the sequence in a random step location whenever a signal is present. The CV input allows you to address the sequencer location, moving the sequence along in an order based on the level of the incoming control voltage.
