Transport Control
Tom Cat’s Play/Stop button operates differently depending on its Sync setting (Step Switch 13).
When set to Internal:
• Press the Play/Stop button to start or stop playback.
• During playback, press Velocity and Play/Stop at the same time to restart playback from
the very beginning of the pattern.
• When Tom Cat’s MIDI Out/Thru is set to Out, it will send MIDI Start, Stop, Continue,
Clock, and SongPosPtr=0 depending on its transport state.
• Tom Cat’s Gate Trig Out will pulse each time it advances one step.
When set to External or USB:
• Tom Cat’s playback will respond to incoming MIDI Start, Stop, Continue, Clock, and
SongPosPtr=0 messages.
• Tom Cat’s transport controls will not function.
When set to Gate:
• Tom Cat will not receive any sequence position information, but you can return it
immediately to Step 1 by doing either of the following:
o While stopped, press Play/Stop.
o During playback, press Velocity and Play/Stop at the same time.
• Tom Cat can receive Gate messages with time divisions of 1/8 or 1/16 only:
o 1/8: Two pulses will advance playback by one step.
o 1/16: One pulse will advance playback by one step.
Note: Unlike normal MIDI messages, Gate messages contain Note On messages only (no
CC messages, Note Off messages, etc.). Because of this, the Gate messages Tom Cat
receives are simplified.
• Tom Cat’s Gate Trig Out will mimic its Gate Trig In.
About Patterns
Tom Cat can store up to 16 patterns. Each pattern consists of four sequences: Sequence A,
Sequence B, Fill A, and Fill B.
To edit a Sequence or Fill, you must be in Record Step Mode or Record Performance Mode
(see Editing Sequences to learn more). To simply play your patterns, you can be in either of
those modes or in Record Off Mode.
To select a pattern, press Pattern Select and then (A) press one of the 16 Step Switches to
select the pattern of the same number or (B) turn the Tempo knob (when selecting a pattern,
the Tempo knob will not adjust the tempo). The current pattern’s Step Indicator will be lit red.
The Step Indicator of the pattern that will play next will flash. Press Pattern Select again to
return to normal operation.
