8-STEP SEQUENCER
This product is equipped with an editable 8-step sequencer. You can check the operational status of the sequence at any time on the OLED display.

POLYPHONIC SUPPORT
This product has polyphonic support (for chord input). It allows you to create phrases that cannot be played manually, which vastly expands the range of possible musical expressions.

27 SCALES + 3 EDITABLE SCALES
It is equipped with various scales that facilitate the effortless creation of phrases, including basic church modes. It is also equipped with 3 editable scales that can be configured by the user, who is free to use any of the scales available.

TEMPO DIVIDE
You can select how the tempo is divided into the individual beats of the sequences.

4 ENVELOPES
You can choose how the sound of the step is articulated from 4 different envelopes.

BPM
You can set a tempo between 60 to 400 bpm.

RANDOMIZE
You can switch between ordered or random playback of the sequences.

STEPS
You can configure up to 8 steps for the sequences, and irregular time signatures are also supported.

MIDI:

CLOCK SYNC
The tempo can be synced with DAWs and other external devices with MIDI.
NOTE CONTROL
You can control sequences using a MIDI keyboard, etc.

EXPRESSION PEDAL MODE
By connecting your own expression pedal to the pedal, you can use it as a pedal pitch-shifter that can change the pitch based on the sequence.

8 MODES
NORMAL - This is the basic arpeggiator mode for sequencing pitch shifts. Filter control is available to set the tone.
ORGAN - You can mix the pitch shift with 5th harmony. This creates a resonant tone reminiscent of an organ.
HOLD - This mode allows you to temporarily hold the input sound at the moment you step on the pedal and shift its pitch. You can use it to layer phrases like creating a backing track.
SQUARE - This mode converts the input sound into a square wave and shifts its pitch. You can use the arpeggiator in this mode to create sounds reminiscent of retro games and fuzz tones.
SINE - This converts a monophonic input signal into a sine wave for a softer tone and shift its pitch.
SINE HOLD - This mode allows you to temporarily hold the input sound, convert it into a sine wave, and shift the pitch of the softer tone (monophonic).
GLITCH - This innovative effect samples the input signal at short intervals and sequences the resulting samples by assigning them to various steps at one of the 8 different playback speeds below.
TOYBOX - This crazy mode applies the 8 different effects below to the input sound and allows the sequencer to output them in turn.

9 PRESET SLOTS
You can save up to 3 patches in each of the 3 banks for a total of 9 preset slots. The saved presets can be loaded at any time.

QUICK CHANGE
You can also switch between saved presets seamlessly with just the foot switch during your performance. By holding the TAP switch for over 1 second, you will enter Quick Change mode. If you release the switch before the bar is gone, a Change Mode dialog will be displayed that allows you to switch to a different preset by pressing the assigned foot switch.

SEQUENCE FX
The sequence control effects allow you to play more tricky performances.
You can assign your favorite effects from 9 different kinds of effects to the switch.

• Retrigger: Return to the first step immediately.
• 2x: Play the sequence at double speed.
• Reverse: Play the sequence backwards.
• Once: Stop the sequence automatically at the last step.
• Pause: Pause the sequence at the current step.
• Skip: Play the sequence by skipping a beat.
• Momentary Random: Play the sequence randomly when the switch is pressed.
• Freeze: Halt the sequence at its current step regardless of the envelope used.
• Gallop: Play the sequence at its normal speed and double speed for alternate steps.

TOUCH KEY
This is a capacitive touch keyboard. By touching any of the 8 “?”, you can instantly play their respective pitches. This action overrides the effects of the sequence, so you can use it to make your performance more flexible by sustaining a particular pitch or inserting an ad lib phrase.

SMART SWITCH
Stepping on this switch for a brief moment will toggle between ACTIVE/BYPASS modes (alternate switching). Pressing the switch and holding it down allows you to activate the pedal as long as it is pressed, by releasing the switch the pedal back to bypass state (momentary switching). Even if you are quickly switching between different modes such as when you are applying an effect to a part of a phrase, you can intuitively control it with minimal movement.

FIRMWARE UPDATABLE
TARARIRA will evolve and become better even after your purchase. Bananana will perform updates for the product by adding new features and improving the stability of its UI and operations.

ALUMINIUM KNOBS
These aluminum knobs have been uniquely designed using lightweight and durable aluminum of the highest quality. Moreover, as the software allows your desired operation to take place when you are stepping on the foot switch, these knobs prevent any unintended changes to the parameters.
