GETTING STARTED

OPERATING MODES

Tentacles can be started in two operating modes:

Red Mode: During switch-on, just slide the power button down

shortly (approx. 1 sec.). The status LED is flashing

red now. In this mode your Tentacle is waiting to be

jam-synced by an external timecode source

through the 3.5 mm jack. The Sync E is not

outputting timecode.

Green Mode: In this mode your Tentacle is outputting timecode.

During switch-on, slide the power button down

until the Status LED is flashing green (> 3 sec.).

The Tentacle fetches the „Time of Day“ from

the build-in RTC (Real Time Clock), loads it into

the timecode generator and starts generating

timecode.

SETUP APP FOR IOS & ANDROID

The Tentacle Setup App for mobile devices allows you to

synchronize, monitor, setup and change basic parameters of

your Tentacle device. This includes settings such as timecode,

frame rate, device name & icon, output volume, battery status,

user bits and more. You can download the Setup App here:
