DRUM SYNTHESIS:

3 Filters: Low, High & Band Pass + resonance & side-pass high pass level, envelope amount &  decay time.
Adjust pitch
VCA decay time + PUNCH for extra kick velocity.
Extra attack for track 1 option.
Create almost any drum synth sound

SEQUENCER:
Swing/groove
Dynamics. Each step per track can also have a variable dynamics level (double tap) to accentuate pitch, filter or  amplitude.
RANDOM FILL: From zero to 100 percent this will create random non accentuated steps in mealtime so you can create free flowing dynamic drum beats sequences.
Adjust number of steps & offsets in each track to create complex poly rhythms
INIT starts over with a blank pattern.
Find this in Settings/System.
BPM control +/-1 or double tap for +/-5 increments.

MOD SECTION:
LFO low pass CUT-OFF & PITCH. The pitch level can give a vintage effect subtly detuning with low SPEED or faster for ring modulated effect.
Trig forces reset on step to provide pitch or filter envelope.

CHAIN MODE:
Press P+1, P+2, P+3 for  automatically switching to next 1,2, or 3 patterns at each loop end.
Changing pattern manually will reset.
Drum step edits cant be made during this mode.
LIVE CONTROL feature:
Use the pattern play section for the following cool tricks:
[Sequence/Control/Pattern]:  Instantly switch to a saved sequence while playing. Keys correspond to available programs, starting from the current program thats loaded (key 1 is your current program, key 2 is current program+1 etc). Highlighted keys show stored programs. Blue tint shows if your are in Pattern Play still. This is great for building up live tracks and can be cut instantly like  DJ cross-fade.
With P-Lock enabled, loading patterns locks parameters & just loads the patterns.

EFFECTS (Global/master are in yellow.)
OVERDRIVE.
SPRING REVERB
ECHO tempo synced with feedback & wetness. 

MIXER section:
fade each track, mute/ unmute
Bass boost and pan on each track

SYNCING
Ableton Link syncs with Link apps .Enable for precise timing without syncing. Press LINK button at the bottom for settings. You can link to our other apps like 2XB303
MIDI sync with External, Virtual or Audiobus.  6X806 can be master or slave. ( any simple class-compliant USB should work but some may need to be power assisted)  
Virtual MIDI In is always on. If you send from another app AND receive MIDI clock then you will be receiving both MIDI CLOCKS. 
While Ableton Link is enabled you can send clock. This means you can use one app to control 6X806 with external hardware
MIDI note data is sent out on each channel

AUDIO
Record a fixed length, default to 32 steps. Can be changed in settings.
Arming sampling with CAPTURE (flashing). Starts at counter 1 (ON). 
PLAY CAP to listen to your sample loop.
Audio can be routed via IAA (Inter App Audio) into apps like Apple's Garageband. Garageband will also sync your sequence for excellent multi-track recording.
Audiobus 3. Route audio to mix or record into other applications

### 5/5 — Classic!

*2020-12-07*

Ok, it’s hard to explain. I’d like to say more than, this thing sounds great! I will try.... it sounds “alive” , it sounds “strange” it just sounds great! I’m not sure what I’m doing but it doesn’t seem to matter. Ultimately, it sounds different, it has character, and I for one love it! I’m going to crown it as classic. Reason: because it sounds great! It growls, it hisses, and rumbles. What more do you want?

**Developer response:** Thank you. Reviews like this make it all worth it. Brilliant!
