Reliq Manual

Interface Overview

The physical interface of Reliq is composed of five main elements: encoders, page buttons, the 16x16 LED Grid Pads, track buttons, and function buttons. Each of these components has a specific role in controlling Reliq’s parameters and navigating its functions.

Reliq Interface Overview

Encoders

Sixteen Encoders  are positioned at the top of the interface, directly above the screen. These encoders correspond to the parameters displayed on the screen for each active page. Adjustments to parameters such as pitch, velocity, or other settings are made by turning the encoder aligned with the relevant parameter on the screen.

Page Buttons

Below the screen, the Page buttons  are located. These buttons provide direct access to the main functions of Reliq. Each button corresponds to a specific page, such as the Matrix Page or Sequencer Page, as indicated by the labels on the screen directly above them. When a page button is pressed, the interface immediately switches to the associated function.

Reliq Page Buttons Overview

16x16 LED Pad Grid

The Grid Pads serve as the primary interface for event management. It is used for various functions, including connection management in the Matrix Page and pattern arrangement in the Sequencer Page. Each row and column of the grid is mapped to a specific input, output, or event, depending on the active page. The grid is utilized to create and manage connections or patterns, allowing for direct interaction with signal routing or sequencing.

Track Buttons

To the left of the LED pad grid are the Track Buttons , numbered  through . These buttons correspond to individual tracks, and pressing any of them will select the corresponding track. The track buttons provide a method of quickly switching between signal paths or sequences across various pages.

Function Buttons

On the right side of the LED pad grid, Function Buttons are located. These buttons are assigned to critical system operations, which include:

  • Save Button  : Saves the current configuration.

  • Undo / Redo Buttons  /  : Allows previous actions to be reverted or reapplied.

  • Arrow Buttons  : Used for navigating between selections, clips or parameters.

  • Solo / Mute Buttons  /  : For isolating or silencing individual tracks.

  • Copy / Paste Buttons  /  : Copies or pastes settings or sequences between tracks.

  • Play / Stop / Record Buttons  /  : Transport controls used for managing sequence playback or recording.

These buttons provide immediate access to essential functions related to configuration management, track control, and playback operations.

Joystick Encoder

In the upper right corner of the interface, adjacent to the screen, the Joystic Encoder is found. The joystick encoder can be rotated and clicked in four directions (up  , down  , left  , right  ). It is also pressable  to confirm selections. This component is primarily used for navigating between different menus, nodes, or settings on the screen. The joystick encoder allows for precise control during the selection process, whether adjusting parameters or moving through lists.

BPM Encoder

On the left side of the interface, the BPM Encoder is located. This illuminated encoder is dedicated to setting the tempo (Beats Per Minute) of the system. Turning the encoder adjusts the BPM, which controls the overall timing of sequences and events. The illuminated feedback ensures that tempo adjustments are visible during operation.
