Ketch

• Ketch turns the FM-1 into a four channel tracker in the LSDJ, picoTracker and M8 line.
• Each channel plays one of Felucca's sound engines, including FM, physical models, drums and grains.
• Songs are built as song, chain and phrase, with sixteen rows of note, instrument, velocity and commands.
• Row commands cover delay, retrigger, ramps, chance, hops, swing and every sound parameter of the instrument.
• The keybed becomes a gamepad: a d-pad on the lowest keys plus SHIFT, PLAY, OPTION and EDIT.
• Press REC to play notes on the middle keys, then record live with count-in and metronome or enter steps.
• A mixer gives level, mute and solo per channel, with delay, reverb and chorus shared across all four.
• Projects save into the FM-1's flash with SAVE, and USB-MIDI and USB audio let you record the output.
