A³ Motion

A³ Motion numbered

[1] STEREO WIDTH SEPARATION

  • Adjust Stereo Width separation of the two audio input channels. The current state will be displayed on top of touchdisplay (0° : 90°)

[2] Ambisonic order

  • lets you set the spatial resolution of your sound scene.

[3] DISPLAY

  • This full-color multi-touch display shows information relevant to A³Motion’s current operation. Touch the display (and use the hardware controls) to control the A3Motion interface. See Operating Instrucions to learn how to use some basic functions

[4] Speed Encoder

  • Use these encoder to adjust length of trackpattern (bars)

[5] MOTION SAMPLE PADS

  • Each channel has a column of four iluminated sample pads. See Operaton to use basic functions

[6] Record Button

  • Hold the Rec-Button and one of the 4 pads (per channel) to start record. Record runs from next Beat for one Bar setup by Speed Encoder.

[7] Tempo Tap Button
