The ellitone notepad is the second entry into the fn_block series of inexpensive modular musical devices. The notepad is a small handheld midi controller that is fun and easy to use. Designed to be compatible with the fn_block 01 digital synthesizer, the notepad is also highly compatible with external gear and DAW’s that accept incoming MIDI. Select between 12 different musical scales and 5 octaves to get started (hold down the “scale” button and tap any of the 12 touch note keys to select a scale). Play notes one at a time to create melody or hold down multiple notes at the same time to create chords. The built-in musical scales ensure that any notes you play will sound great together! The notepad also includes record and loop functionality. Press the “mode” button to switch into record mode and then start playing notes. The record led will light up when recording is active. record musical midi passages up to 30 seconds in length, or 50 notes in length (whichever comes first). When you are done recording your musical midi passage, press the “end” button to stop your recording. Your recorded midi passage will now begin playback. Want to add notes on top of what you just recorded? No problem, simply play additional notes during playback to layer them onto the existing loop! Want to shorten your musical passage loop? Simply press “end” whenever you like during playback to create a new endpoint for your loop. You can also change the scale, octave, and transposition of your recorded passage for new variations. Lots of fun to be had!"
