THE PHASEMISTRESS CONTROL PANEL - STEP MODE
Step Mode combines the Sample and Hold effect from Random Mode
with an envelope follower. So, instead of changing to a new value at
a specific set rate, a new random value is triggered when any of the
following occurs:
1) You press the Trigger button.
2) A MIDI signal activates the Manual Trigger.
3) When the input signal exceeds the set Threshold.
This works really great on drums and other highly percussive signals,
and can be used to create a creative, dynamic effect that varies with
each audio event.
STEP MODE TRIGGER
As mentioned in the last paragraph, the Trigger section includes a
Manual Trigger button (much like with Tap Tempo) as well as a variable
Trigger knob that works just like the Threshold control does. The real-
time audio level will display as red in the white notches surrounding the
knob. You can set the Trigger level by turning the control’s pointer to
the threshold, based on the incoming audio level, where you would like a
transition to occur.
