About video signal formats

The kaptivator supports both the NTSC and PAL video signal formats. NTSC is the format used in the United States and Japan, while PAL is the format used in the United Kingdom and Europe.

Set the NTSC/PAL switch according to the video signal format of the equipment you're using. The kaptivator will not operate correctly if the video signal format is incorrect. Also, the kaptivator will not operate correctly with non-interlaced video signals.

Playing copy-protected video from a commercial DVD

Copy-protected DVD video cannot be used as a video source. If you connect this type of signal to the kaptivator's INPUT jack, the image will not appear. In addition, a warning of "PROTECTED" may appear in some cases, if you've selected ALL as the setting for MONITOR 2.

4. Basic concepts and operation

Concepts

Sampling video

The kaptivator saves sampled video on its internal hard drive as "clips."

These saved clips are managed as "banks", each containing eight clips.

You can assign each of these banks to either of the two groups of clip pads (Group A contains the upper eight clip pads; Group B contains the lower eight) and play back these sampled video clips. The same bank can be assigned to both groups simultaneously.

Styles

The heart of the kaptivator's ability to perform as a realtime video instrument is the Style. Each individual style is really a complete processing scheme consisting of a specific routing setting; a video effect; a transition setting; various controller assignments and more. You can edit, create, modify and save 100 individual styles in the kaptivator. By simply switching to a new style, you can instantly re-configure the kaptivator and all its settings.

Terms

Style

Each “style” contains settings for routing, effects, playback synchronization, and controller assignments. You can switch between styles during playback, or edit and store styles according to your needs. One hundred styles can be stored in the kaptivator.

Clip

A "clip" is an individual segment of sampled video material, together with its various settings, which can be saved, stored to a bank, and assigned to one of the sixteen clip pads. The kaptivator can store up to 800 clips. You can specify the start point, stop point, loop point, playback style and other settings for each clip.

Bank

A "bank" is a set of eight clips that can be assigned to the clip pads. You can create, save and assign clips ("register") up to one hundred banks.

Group

The sixteen clips pads are organized into two groups. Group A contains the upper eight clip pads; and Group B, the lower eight. Each bank of clips can be assigned to either group - or both. The settings saved in a style will apply to the entire group.

Routing

The kaptivator is extremely flexible, in that many of the elements of a style can be arranged into different routing scenarios. For example, a routing setting can specify the number of video sources (Group A, Group B, DV Camera in, etc.), which sources will be mixed by the slider, where the effect processor is inserted (before the slider, after the slider, only to Group A, etc.) along with what information is displayed in MONITOR 2 (with ALL selected).

Motion Sequence

Your "live" movements - pressing clip pads, operating the slider and FX controllers, selecting banks, etc. - can be recorded as a Motion Sequence, and played back with any style. The kaptivator will store up to 100 Motion Sequences.

BPM

BPM (Beats Per Minute) indicates the tempo of a song in terms of the number of quarter notes per minute. Higher BPM settings indicate a faster tempo. The kaptivator can change clips and vary effect parameters in sync with a BPM tempo source.

NOTE If the current style is saved with "no effect" assigned, the VALUE display will indicate "--" and you won't be able to change effects.

3. Working with external video sources

Viewing an external video source

To view the video source connected to the VIDEO INPUT 1 jack, press the MONITOR 1 SELECT key to select INPUT 1. To view the video source being received by the INPUT 2 connector, select INPUT 2.

You can use MONITOR 2 to view the video source being received at the DV connector. Use the MONITOR 2 SELECT key to choose DV.

NOTE Set the DV connector setting to "in." (p.9: DV connector in/out setting)

NOTE The image that is being input to the DV connector will be slightly delayed. We recommend that you use the INPUT jack for realtime use, such as for live video.

To select an external video source

Press the INPUT key to select one of the external video sources connected to the kaptivator.

The VIDEO INPUT indicator shows the status of the selected input.

Input 1 Lit: Currently selected

Blinking rapidly: No connection, or wrong signal format

Blinking slowly: Copy-protected signal was detected

Input 2 Lit: Currently selected

Blinking rapidly: No connection, or wrong signal format

Blinking slowly: Copy-protected signal was detected

DV Input Lit red: Currently selected (DV set to input)

Blinking rapidly: No connection

Blinking slowly: Copy-protected signal was detected

Green: Indicates that the DV connector is set to "Out"

dark (unlit) Input is off (black screen), or Main Out Capture is selected

Mixing an external video source with a clip

1 P r ess the STYLE key until it blinks green.
2 T urn the VALUE knob to select "31" (style number), and press the flashing YES/WRITE key. For this example, we've chosen a style whose routing setting is "single."
3 P r ess the MONITOR 2 SELECT key to select ALL. This lets you monitor the video input, the video selected by the clip pads, and the combination of these (the image that is sent from MAIN OUT). Use the MONITOR 1 SELECT key to select MAIN. Now you can monitor the mixed image (the image that is sent from MAIN OUT) in MONITOR 1.
4 Use the slider to mix between the external video source and the clip pad playback, and use the ribbon controller to apply the effect assigned to this style. The effect will be assigned to the clip pad playback, the external video source, or the mixed signal, depending on the routing setting of the current style.

4. Synchronizing to music

You can use the BPM setting or the playback from an external audio source to control the playback speed or the start timing of a video clip, or to control the current effect.

NOTE If you synchronize the clip start timing to the BPM, it may be delayed by several frames.

Setting the BPM

Setting the BPM manually

1 Hold down the EDIT key and press the TAP/BPM key to select Manual mode.

2 Rotate the VALUE knob to change the BPM value shown in the VALUE display. The decimal point in the display will blink.

3 P r ess the YES/WRITE key or the TAP/TEMPO key to complete the setting. The decimal point will stop blinking, indicating the new tempo is set. If you want to cancel the setting, press the NO/ESC key.

NOTE You can't switch clips while setting the BPM.

The Tap Tempo function

If you don't know the BPM value, press the TAP/BPM key three or more times in rhythm with the song; the BPM of the song will be detected and shown in the display, and will be assigned as the current BPM setting.

Auto BPM setting

1 If you have a music source hooked up to the AUDIO TRIG INPUT jacks, hold down the TAP/BPM key for three seconds or longer, and the kaptivator will automatically detect the BPM of the song. You may have to adjust the TRIG LEVEL knob to get the best results. While the BPM is being detected, the decimal point will blink and the TAP/BPM key will flash orange.

NOTE The BPM cannot be detected if the music does not have a clear sense of beat.

2 P r ess the YES/WRITE key to confirm the setting. The decimal point will stop blinking and the TAP/TEMPO key will once again flash red on each beat, and green at the start of the measure. If no tempo is detected, the kaptivator will continue to use the previous BPM setting. If you decide to cancel, press the NO/ESC key.

NOTE You can't switch clips while making the Auto BPM setting.

Synchronized playback using the BPM setting

Synchronizing the start of the clip to the BPM

1 Set the BPM using one of the methods described above.

2 Choose style number "88".

This style sets the start mode to "T2" so that clips will start in sync with the BPM. (p.31: Style parameter list, p.19: Style edit)

3 Press a clip pad. The clip will begin playing at the beginning of the measure (when the TAP/TEMPO light flashes green).

Synchronizing the clip playback speed to the BPM

1 Set the BPM.

2 Choose style number "00".

This style sets the clip "C3 (Playback reference speed setting)" to "r2" so that the clip play-

back speed will change in sync with the BPM. (p.31: Style parameter list, p.19: Style edit)

3 Select the clip that you want to play. Change the BPM. The clip playback speed will change according to the BPM.

Synchronized playback using an audio trigger

Adjusting the audio trigger level

1 Connect the playback from as external audio device such as a CD player or a DJ mixer to the AUDIO TRIG INPUT jacks.
2 As you watch the AUDIO TRIG indicator, adjust the trigger level using the TRIG LEVEL knob. The AUDIO TRIG indicator shows the state of the audio signal trigger level.
Dark (unlit): No input detected, Green: Minimum level detected, Orange: Level detected, Red: Maximum input

Synchronizing the start of the clip to the audio trigger

1 Adjust the trigger level to an appropriate level for the song, as described above.
2 Choose style number "87".
This style sets the start variation to "T3" so that the clip will begin playing when the audio input signal exceeds the trigger level. (p.31: Style parameter list, p.19: Style edit)
3 Press a clip pad. When the volume of the song exceeds the trigger level, the video clip will begin playing.

Using an external audio signal to control an effect

1 In addition to using an audio trigger, variations in the input level of an external audio source can also be used to control certain parameters.
Connect an external audio device and set the trigger level as described in the previous examples.
2 Choose style number "02".
This style assigns the effect control setting to "A1," and varies the parameter in synchronization with the trigger level. (€ p.31: Style parameter list, p.19: Style edit)
3 Touch the ribbon controller to operate it. The amount of blurring will change according to the trigger level.

5. Using Motion Sequences

You can record and save up to one hundred sets of controller movements as “motion sequences,” and then select a motion sequence and play it back when desired. In addition to movements of the various controllers and operations on the clip pads, a motion sequence can also include bank or style selections and changes.

Playing a motion sequence

1 To enter Motion Sequence mode, press the MOTION key; the MOTION key will blink. Press the blinking MOTION key to exit Motion Sequence mode.
2 Use the VALUE knob to change the motion sequence number “-**-” shown in the VALUE display. If the “-” at both sides is blinking, this indicates an empty motion sequence that has not yet been recorded.
3 P r ess the YES/WRITE key to confirm your selection.
4 P r ess the key to playback the motion sequence. Press the key once again to pause.
5 P r ess the STOP key to stop the motion sequence.
If you've assigned the motion to once, playback will end automatically.
6 Press the blinking MOTION key to exit Motion Sequence mode. You can't exit Motion Sequence mode unless the motion sequence is stopped.

Looping the playback of a motion sequence

1 When the MOTION key is blinking, hold down the EDIT key and press the MOTION key; the EDIT key and MOTION key will blink.

2 Use the VALUE knob to make the VALUE display read "LOOP." Choose "ONCE" if you don't want the motion sequence to loop.

4 Press the YES/WRITE key twice to erase the recorded motion sequence. If you decide not to erase the motion sequence, press the NO/ESC key twice.

Customizing a Style —Style Editing

The kaptivator lets you create and store one hundred "styles." This section explains how you can create styles that are appropriate for the video material you're using and how you're using it.

During performance, you can change effects, wipe types, and controller settings simply by selecting a style.

NOTE The factory settings contain various styles programmed to demonstrate the kaptivator's capabilities.

1. Editing a style

The effects of editing a style will depend on how the video sources are connected and on the content of these sources.

Choosing a style

The most important element of a style is the “routing.” The routing determines the structure of the video sources you can use. If you’re using only clips saved internally, choose the Dual routing. If you’re using external video devices in your performance, choose the Single or Three Layer routing. If you’re using the MONITOR 2 OUTPUT independently, choose the Separate routing. See pages 33 through 37 for illustrations of the various routings available. After you’ve selected the appropriate routing for your situation, you can assign the function of each controller, and specify the effect and type variation.

Style editing

1 Select the style that you want to edit.
2 Hold down the EDIT key and press the STYLE key. The display will indicate "A1.**" and the EDIT key will blink.
3 To edit the A1. parameter, use the VALUE knob to change the value shown in the VALUE display.

NOTE The decimal point following the parameter value will light if the value is identical to the saved value.

4 To edit the next parameter, press the EDIT key. Each time you press the EDIT key you will proceed to the next parameter. To return to the preceding parameter, hold down the EDIT key and press the YES/WRITE key.
5 T o see the results of your editing, press the YES/WRITE key.

Now you can check the changes you made to the style.

At this point, you can use the VALUE knob to select the desired save-destination style and press the YES/WRITE key to save the edited style and complete the procedure. If you want to continue editing without saving your changes, press the NO/ESC key.

Editing examples

Changing the operation of the ribbon controller

1 Select the style that you want to edit.
For this example, choose style number "04".
2 Hold down the EDIT key and press the STYLE key. The display will indicate "A1.**" and the EDIT key will blink.

3 P r ess the EDIT key several times to choose parameter B5.

Here you can choose the controller that will modify the effect. To choose the ribbon controller, choose a setting in the range of "G1"–"G4." With the "G1" setting, the effect will intensify as you move the controller from bottom to top. Conversely with the "G2" setting, the effect will intensify as you move from top to bottom. With the "G3" setting, the effect is at maximum at either end, and minimum in the center. The "G4" setting produces the opposite result, with the maximum effect in the center position.

4 When you're finished editing, press the YES/WRITE key. Use the VALUE knob to select the destination style location (style number) where you want to save the edited style. Then press the YES/WRITE key to finish saving. If you decide not to save the changes you made, press the NO/ESC key.

Changing the wipe type

1 Select the style that you want to edit.
For this example, choose style number "11".

2 Hold down the EDIT key and press the STYLE key. The display will indicate "A1.**" and the EDIT key will blink.

3 P r ess the EDIT key several times to choose parameter A2.

This parameter specifies the type of transition. Choosing "00" will specify a fade. In this example, let's select "03" to produce a wipe that changes the position of the images.

4 P r ess the EDIT key to select parameter A3.

This selects the controller that will perform the wipe operation. Choose "F1" if you want to specify the fader. Choose "F2" if you want to invert the direction of the fader operation.

5 P r ess the EDIT key to select parameter A4.

This parameter specifies the type of wipe and the variable range of the controller. If you want to create a wipe that pushes the image from left to right, specify a value in the range of "30"–"39." The second digit of the value specifies the range of fader movement. In this case, selecting "30" will produce a wipe using the entire range of the fader. Selecting "35" will wipe using half the range of the fader. Selecting "39" will cause the image to switch at the midpoint of the fader.

6 When you're finished editing, press the YES/WRITE key. Use the VALUE knob to select the destination style location (style number) where you want to save the edited style. Then press the YES/WRITE key to finish saving. If you decide not to save the changes you made, press the NO/ESC key.

Creating a clip —Sampling and Quick Editing

1. Sampling

Sampling video

Sampling a video input source

1 Press the SAMPLE key; it will blink, and you will be in Sampling mode. You can press the SAMPLE key once again to exit Sampling mode.

2 Use the VALUE knob to specify the sampling time. Samples are created and stored using memory units that are 8 seconds long. You can specify a time length from eight seconds through 600 seconds (ten minutes) in eight-second steps. The default is eight seconds.

NOTE The sampled video is managed in units of data that are each eight seconds long. For example, if the image you want to sample is fourteen seconds long, it will require two of these eight second data units, and will actually occupy sixteen seconds of sampling time on the hard drive.

3 Selecting an empty clip.

If you press the YES/WRITE key at this time, a vacant clip pad in the lowest-numbered available bank will be selected. You can also manually select any empty clip pad in any bank. If you select a clip pad that already has a clip assigned to it, the display will indicate "OCCP". If there is not enough available storage space when you press the clip pad, the display will indicate "FULL".

The kaptivator will be in sampling-ready mode. (The clip pad and the REC key will blink.)

4 P r ess the INPUT key to select the external video input signal that you want to sample. You can also apply an effect to the input video while sampling it. If you want to do this, press the STYLE key at this point, turn the value knob to select an effect, and press the YES/WRITE key.

NOTE The effect selected in this case is only applied to the image being sampled. This will not change the effect setting of the style that was selected before you entered SAMPLE mode.

5 P r ess the REC key to begin sampling. Press the STOP key to stop. Sampling will stop automatically when the specified sampling time has elapsed.

6 If you want to continue sampling, press the YES/WRITE key to select the next empty clip, rotate the VALUE dial to set the sampling time, and repeat steps 4 and 5.

7 If you are finished sampling press the SAMPLE key to exit Sampling mode. If the kaptivator is in sampling-ready mode (The clip pad and the REC key are blinking), press the NO/ESC key, and then press the blinking SAMPLE key to exit Sampling mode

NOTE The Clip Edit parameters allow to adjust the playback speed, start point, end point, playback method, etc.

Time-lapse sampling

Extremely slow movements such as drifting clouds or opening flower blossoms can be captured using time-lapse video, and then played back to speed up the movement. Time-lapse video can also be used to make common things like cars and people play back at an artificially fast speed.

1 P r ess the SAMPLE key to enter Sampling mode.

2 Hold down the EDIT key and press the SAMPLE key; the EDIT key and SAMPLE key will blink, and the display will indicate the time-lapse ratio.

NOTE You can turn the knob quickly to make larger changes in the numerical value.

Turn the VALUE knob to specify the resulting playback speed.

You can specify a value between "1" and "5400" times normal.

For example if you've specified 8 seconds as the sampling time:

x "2" will record for 16 seconds, and the playback will be double-speed.
x "10" will record for approximately 1 minute 20 seconds, and the playback will be ten times normal speed.
x "100" will record for approximately 13 minutes 20 seconds, and the playback will be one hundred times normal speed.
x "1000" will record for approximately 2 hours 13 minutes 20 seconds, and the playback will be one thousand times normal speed.
x "5400" (the maximum setting) will record for approximately 12 hours.

Press the YES/WRITE key twice to complete the Slow Sampling settings.

3 Begin recording the video as for conventional sampling.

NOTE If you're sampling from a camera, we recommend that you use a stable tripod. In addition, be aware that since the lighting may change if you're recording for an extended time, it's a good idea to use appropriate illumination.

Main Out Capture

Using this function, the processed and mixed video that is being sent from the MAIN OUT jack can be temporarily captured into memory. This captured video can then be used as an input source for further processing and mixing, used as an input source in Sample mode and then “resampled” and saved to a clip. The Main Out Capture function can accommodate a maximum of approximately eight seconds.

Capturing video and using it as an input source

1 Hold down the EDIT key and press the YES/WRITE key to enter Utility mode. In Utility mode, enable the Main Out Capture function. (p.27)

NOTE Any existing Main Out Capture data will be erased when you enter Utility mode.

NOTE The bank display response will be slower if you enable Main Out Capture. (p.27)

2 Exit Utility mode and return to Play mode.

3 Press the REC key (you will be in Pause mode), and then press the REC key once again to begin capturing.

4 Use the clip pads, sliders, and effects to control your video performance.

NOTE By pressing the ▶ II key while capturing, you can continue capturing without stopping after eight seconds. The eight seconds of video preceding the point at which you pressed the STOP key will be captured.

5 Capture will end when you press the STOP key or when approximately eight seconds have elapsed. At this time, the ▶key will blink red, indicating that capture has finished.

6 Using a style whose routing is other than "Dual," press the INPUT key and select "CAPTURE" as the input source.

7 Press the ▶ II key to play back the captured video, and perform as desired by mixing video clips etc.

8 To delete the captured video, hold down the EDIT key, the NO/ESC key, and the PLAY key (all three simultaneously).

Resampling to a clip

If you want to resample the video as a clip, return to Sample mode and select "CAPTURE" as the input signal.

2. Clips

For each piece of video material that you sample, you can specify the playback start point, end point, loop point and looping method; these settings can then be saved along with the video material as a "clip." Even when using the same piece of video material, you can change the start point etc. and save it as a different clip.

Copying a clip

Here's how you can copy an existing clip, edit it, and save the edited result in a different bank.

Copying a single clip

1 Hold down the EDIT key and press the BANK key; the EDIT key and BANK key will blink, and the Clip Copy operation will be selected. The clip pad that you want to copy is called the copy-source, and the clip pad where the copy will be saved is the copy-destination.

2 Select the copy-source clip pad. In MONITOR 2, a red frame will appear around the copy-source clip pad.

3 Select the copy-destination clip pad. A blue frame will appear around the copy-destination clip pad.

2. Utility menu items and procedures

This section explains the content of each utility menu item, and how to use it.

HDD free:

This shows the remaining space on the hard disk.

Main out capture:

This enables/disables the Main Out Capture function. We recommend that you leave this set to "Disable" unless you are currently using the Main Out Capture function. Leaving it set to "Enable" while this function is not being used will slow down the bank list display.

MIDI setting:

Here you can adjust the kaptivator's MIDI settings, such as transmitting or receiving MIDI clock, MIDI channel, and control change settings. The kaptivator cannot send and receive MIDI clock information at the same time.

Setting the control change number

The kaptivator can receive or send MIDI clock for synchronizing with other devices, and can be set to any MIDI channel. Additionally, each of the kaptivator's controllers can be assigned

a MIDI control change number from CC#1 through CC#31, CC#64 through CC#95, or Pitch Bend. Each controller can also be individually set to enable ("CC") or disable ("cc"). You cannot adjust the value of a disabled parameter.

Power on setup:

You can specify the style and the banks that will be selected when the power is turned on.

Backup:

Sampled video data and edited clip settings can be backed up to a DV camera or other external DV storage device. Global settings, style data and motion sequences (individually or in blocks of ten) can be backed up to a MIDI filer, sequencer or other MIDI storage device. The MIDI device must be able to initiate and send a dump request message.

Backing up video data to an external device

Sampled video together with its management data and clip data can be backed up to a DV device in a single operation.

1 Enter Utility mode.

2 P r ess the EDIT key to select "Backup," and press the YES/WRITE key.

3 Select "Video data," and press the YES/WRITE key.

4 Select "Dump," and press the YES/WRITE key.

5 Select "Dump start number." Normally you will specify "000."

At this point, the MAIN out will display the following data screen:

When this cut & clip data screen appears in MAIN out, put your external device in record mode, and begin video recording.

6 P r ess the YES/WRITE key twice to begin the backup.

The MAIN output will alternate between the cut & clip data screen and the cut image (maximum of approximately two hours). When the backup is completed, stop recording. NOTE The resolution will be converted if you backup between different data formats (NTSC/PAL) or operation modes (NTSC/PAL).

NOTE If you repeatedly backup and restore the same clip, the image quality will decline.

NOTE If you save NTSC data as a PAL signal, it will take approximately 1.2 times longer to save the data. (If you save PAL data as an NTSC signal, it will take approximately 5/6 the time.)

Restoring video data

Sampled video and clip data can be restored in a single operation.

1 Enter Utility mode.

2 P r ess the EDIT key to select "Backup," and press the YES/WRITE key.

3 Select "Video data," and press the YES/WRITE key.

4 Select "Restore," and press the YES/WRITE key.

From your external device, play back the backup video into the kaptivator.

5 When the first clip data screen begins to play, immediately press the YES/WRITE key twice to begin the restore operation.

When the restore operation is finished, stop playback. (When the operation is completed, there will be an indication of whether errors occurred, and how many occurred.)

NOTE If you decide to cancel during the restore operation, the data will be in an incomplete state, and will not be restored correctly. Also, if an error occurs during the operation, the video and data lost at that point will affect any clip that references that cut, so that it will not operate correctly.

NOTE If you performed a divided backup, the system will not operate correctly unless you restore the complete set of backup data.

Backing up style and motion sequence data

You can backup global data, style data, a single motion sequence, or a block of ten motion sequences to a MIDI filer, sequencer or other MIDI storage device.

1 Enter Utility mode.

2 P r ess the EDIT key to select "Backup," and press the YES/WRITE key.

3 P r ess the EDIT key to select "MIDI exclusive," and press the YES/WRITE key.

Transmit a dump request message from your external device.

If you're backing up motion sequence data, you'll also need to specify the number or block. When the kaptivator receives the dump request, it will transmit the backup data.

Restoring style or motion sequence data

You can restore the global data, style data, a single motion sequence, or block of ten motion sequences that you saved as a backup file.

1 Enter Utility mode.

2 P r ess the EDIT key to select "Backup," and press the YES/WRITE key.

3 P r ess the EDIT key to select "MIDI exclusive," and press the YES/WRITE key.

Transmit the backup data from your external device.

NOTE Since the restore operation will sequentially overwrite the data within the kaptivator, halting the restore operation before it has completed will mean that the motion sequence number that was being written at that moment will contain no data (i.e., erased).

Preset Initialize:

At any time, you can always restore the kaptivator to its original factory settings - including style, clip, and global settings.

NOTE Never turn off the power while initializing.

Routing list

This section explains the structure of each routing and describes which elements will be displayed in MONITOR 2 when you select a style that uses that routing.

1. Single Routings

These routings mix the playback of one clip with an external input source.

Routing 11

This applies an effect to a bank clip, and mixes it with an external input source.

graph LR
    A["Input A"] --> C["Checkerboard"]
    B["Input B"] --> C
    C --> D["Central Processing Unit"]
    D --> E["Main OUT"]

    style D fill:#cfc,stroke:#333
    style E fill:#fcc,stroke:#333

Routing 22

This applies an effect to a clip from Group B, and then mixes it with a clip from Group A.

graph TD
    A["Input Module A"] -->|①| C["Processing Unit"]
    B["Input Module B"] -->|②| C
    C -->|③| D["Output Monitor 2"]
    D --> E["Main OUT"]

Routing 23

This mixes clips from Group A and Group B, and then applies an effect.

graph LR
    A["Input Module A"] --> C["Processing Unit"]
    B["Input Module B"] --> C
    C --> D["Checkerboard"]
    D --> E["Main OUT"]
    E --> F["Monitor 2"]

3. Three-layer Routings

These routings play back two clips and mix them with an external input.

NOTE You can also exchange the B group playback with the external input.

Routing 31

This applies an effect to a clip from Group A, mixes it with a clip from Group B, and then mixes this with an external input. The MAIN OUT is not displayed in MONITOR 2 when using this routing.

graph TD
    A["Sensor A"] --> B["Checkerboard"]
    C["Sensor B"] --> D["Logic Gate"]
    E["Sensor C"] --> F["Main Out"]

    style B fill:#ccf,stroke:#333
    style D fill:#ccf,stroke:#333
    style F fill:#ccf,stroke:#333

Routing 32

This applies an effect to a clip from Group B, mixes it with a clip from Group A, and then mixes this with an external input. The MAIN OUT is not displayed in MONITOR 2 when using this routing.

graph TD
    A["A"] --> C["1"]

    C --> E["3"]
    D --> F["4"]
    E --> G["MAIN OUT"]
    F --> G
    G --> H["MONITOR 2"]

Routing 33

This mixes clips from Group A and Group B, applies an effect, and then mixes this with an external input. The MAIN OUT is not displayed in MONITOR 2 when using this routing.

graph LR
    A["Input Device A"] -->|①| B["Processing Unit"]
    C["Input Device B"] -->|②| B

    style C fill:#f9f,stroke:#333
    style F fill:#ccf,stroke:#333
    style G fill:#cff,stroke:#333

Routing 34

This applies an effect to the external input, and mixes this with the combination of clips A and B. The MAIN OUT is not displayed in MONITOR 2 when using this routing.

graph TD
    A["Input Device A"] -->|①| Processing
    B["Input Device B"] -->|②| Processing
    Processing -->|③| MainOutput
    Processing -->|④| MainOutput
    MainOutput --> O["Main OUT"]
    O --> Monitor2["Monitor 2"]

Routing 35

This mixes clips A and B, mixes this with the external input, and then applies an effect.

graph TD
    A["Input A"] -->|①| B["Process Unit"]
    C["Input B"] -->|②| B
    D["Input C"] -->|④| B
    B --> E["Main Out"]
    E --> F["Checkered Box"]
    F --> G["Main Out"]

4. Separate output Routings

Use these routings when you've connected MONITOR OUT 2 as an independent output connector to a device such as the KPE1. These routings give you two separate outputs; MAIN OUT and MONITOR OUT 2.

Routing 41

MONITOR OUT 2 will simply output the clip from Group B. The clip from Group A will be processed by the effect, mixed with the external input, and sent from MAIN OUT.

graph LR
    A["Input Device A"] --> C["Checkerboard"]
    B["Input Device B"] --> D["Central Processing Unit"]
    C --> D
    D --> E["Main OUT"]
    D --> F["Monitor OUT 2"]
    F --> G["Monitor 2"]

Routing 42

MONITOR OUT 2 will simply output the clip from Group B. The external input will be processed by the effect, mixed with the clip from Group A, and sent from MAIN OUT.

graph LR
    A["Input Device A"] --> C["Processing Unit"]
    B["Input Device B"] --> C
    C --> D["Main OUT"]
    C --> E["Monitor OUT 2"]
    E --> F["Output View 1"]
    E --> G["Output View 2"]

Routing 43

MONITOR OUT 2 will simply output the clip from Group B. The Group A clip will be mixed with the external input, then processed by the effect, and sent from MAIN OUT.

graph LR
    A["Input Device A"] --> C["Checkerboard"]
    B["Input Device B"] --> C
    C --> D["MAIN OUT"]
    D --> E["MONITOR OUT 2"]
    E --> F["MONITOR 2"]

Routing 44

MONITOR OUT 2 will output the clip from Group B processed by the effect. The Group A clip will be mixed with the external input, and sent from MAIN OUT.

graph LR
    A["Input A"] --> Process1["Process Box"]
    B["Input B"] --> Process2["Process Box"]
    Process1 --> MainOUT["Main OUT"]
    Process2 --> MONITOROUT2["MONITOR OUT 2"]

Playback Type and Playback Pattern selection

In Clip Edit mode you can choose a playback type and pattern; set the Start, End, Loop and Index Points; and specify the BPM value. The Start Point will always be the location from which playback begins, and the End Point will always be where playback either ends, or returns to the Loop point. In Type 1 and Type 2, the Start Point is used as the Loop Point; In Types 3 and 4 you are free to set an independent Loop Point. The Index point is used to select the single frame that will represent the clip when displayed in Bank mode.

When you hold down the EDIT key and press the clip key for the clip you want to edit, the first thing to appear in the VALUE display will be "T.#. - #." The first value (T.1.-T.4) specifies how the playback type, and the second value (-#) specifies the playback pattern.

NOTE Once you've specified the playback type, you won't be able to change this setting unless you exit Clip Edit mode, and begin editing again.

NOTE If you press the Play key while performing clip editing, playback will occur between the Start Point and End Point you specified. You are free to specify an Index Point that is outside the range of the Start/End Points.

Type 1: Specified End Point

Patterns of this type will play or loop between the Start Point and End Point. This is the most basic type of pattern.

Pattern 1: Normal Loop

Start Point End Point

This pattern plays from the Start Point to the End Point, then returns to the Start Point and continues to play repeatedly.

Pattern 2: Alternating Loop

Start Point End Point

graph TD
    A["Sampling Data"] --> B["Arrow Right"]
    A --> C["Arrow Left"]
    A --> D["Arrow Up"]
    A --> E["Arrow Down"]

This pattern plays from the Start Point to the End Point, then plays backward toward the Start Point, and continues repeating this action.

Pattern 3: One-Shot

Start Point End Point

This pattern plays from the Start Point to the End Point only once, and then stops (freezes) at the End Point.

Pattern 4: Reverse Normal Loop

Start PointEnd Point This pattern is similar to Pattern 1, except the data is

played in reverse. Pattern 4 plays from the Start Point to the End Point, then returns to the Start Point and continues to play repeatedly.

Pattern 5: Reverse Alternating Loop

End Point Start Point

This pattern is similar to Pattern 2, except the data is played in reverse. This pattern plays from the Start Point to the End Point, then plays back toward the Start Point, and continues repeating this action.

Pattern 6: Reverse One-Shot

End Point Start Point

This pattern is similar to Pattern 3, except the data is played in reverse. This pattern plays from the Start Point to the End Point only once, and then stops (freezes) at the End Point.

Type 2: Tempo and Beat Specified End Point

Patterns of this type let you specify the End Point in terms of BPM and a number of beats (Eb), and are appropriate when you want to synchronize video with music.

For example if you specify the BPM as 120 and the End Beat (number of beats: Eb) value as 8, the End Point will be automatically be placed four seconds (when playing at BPM=120) later than the Start Point. If you select a style in which the clip playback speed is synchronized to the BPM, and enter the appropriate BPM value, the video loop will play back in synchronization to the beat. The playback patterns are the same as for Type 1.

If you change the Start Point, you'll need to once again set the BPM value and End Beat setting to re-specify the End Point.

Type 3: Specified Loop Point and End Point

Patterns of this type allow you to specify a Loop Point separately from the Start Point and End Point. Playback will loop from this Loop Point.

This pattern is similar to Pattern 2, except the data is played in reverse. This pattern plays once to the End Point, and then continues playing alternately forward and backward between the Loop Point and End Point.

Type 4: Tempo and Beat Specified Loop Point and End Point

Patterns of this type are based on Type 3 which allows you to specify a Loop Point, but differ in that you can specify the Loop Point and End Point in terms of BPM and number of beats (Eb). When you specify the BPM and the number of beats (Eb), the End Point will automatically be set to the appropriate time (when playing at that BPM) from the Loop Point. If you select a style in which the clip playback speed is synchronized to the BPM, and enter the appropriate BPM value, the video loop will play back in synchronization to the beat. The playback patterns are the same as for Type 3.

If you change the Start Point, you'll need to once again set the BPM value and End Beat setting to re-specify the End Point.

Tips for working with the kaptivator

1. Using BPM to control the video playback speed

By using the appropriate BPM setting of a clip together with a BPM-synchronized style, you can make the video playback speed vary according to the BPM.

→ With the factory preset styles, style 00 is set to synchronize the video playback speed to the BPM. Choose style 00, and while you play back the desired clip, tap the TAP/BPM key in a varying tempo. Notice that the video playback speed will change.

(1) Specifying the BPM value for normal playback

For each clip, specify the BPM value at which the video will play at normal speed. You can set this BPM value to the tempo of the movement in the video.

1 Hold down the EDIT key and press the clip pad for which you want to specify the BPM.
2 P r ess the EDIT key several times to access the BPM value parameter.
3 Press the ▶II key to play back the clip normally. Tap the TAP/BPM key in time with the video to specify the BPM value. Alternatively, you can use the VALUE knob to specify the BPM value.
4 P r ess the YES/WRITE key to save the clip settings you edited.

NOTE With the factory settings, the BPM value of all clips is set to "120."

(2) Creating a BPM-synchronized playback style

1 Select the style that you want to edit.
2 Hold down the EDIT key and press the STYLE key.
3 Press the EDIT key several times to select parameter C3. (C3 is the parameter that specifies the normal speed for Group A)
4 Use the VALUE knob to set the value to "r2" so that BPM-synchronized playback will occur. If you also want to perform BPM-synchronized playback for Group B, press the EDIT several times to select the parameter E3, and use the VALUE knob to set the value to "r2."
5 P r ess the YES/WRITE key to save your changes and exit Style Edit.

(3) Playing in sync with the BPM

1 Select the BPM-synchronized style you edited.
2 Specify a BPM value and play back the clip.
3 T ap the TAP/BPM key in time with the music.
4 The video playback speed will change in sync with the BPM value.

2. Using the kaptivator with your computer

If you want to use your computer to capture the video from the kaptivator, or use the kaptivator to sample original video material from your computer, you can connect the kaptivator's DV connector to your computer's IEEE 1394 connector and enjoy an even wider range of possibilities.

Sending the kaptivator's main video output to your computer

1 Turn on the kaptivator and set the DV connector setting to "out." (p.9)
2 Start up your computer.
3 Connect the kaptivator's DV port to your computer.

4 M make sure that the connection has been detected by your computer.
5 Start up your video editing application program on your computer.
6 Begin playback on the kaptivator, and simultaneously start capturing on your video editing application.

Sampling video from your computer into the kaptivator

1 Turn on the kaptivator and set the DV connector setting to "in." (sp.9)
2 Start up your computer.
3 Connect your computer to the kaptivator's DV port.
4 M make sure that the connection has been detected by your computer.
5 Start up your video editing application program on your computer.
6 In your video editing application, prepare the video material that you want to send.
7 Set MONITOR 2 on the kaptivator to DV, and begin trial playback via the DV connection to verify that the kaptivator is receiving the video.
8 Begin sampling on the kaptivator, and immediately start sending the video from your computer.

You'll have to manually execute playback and sampling on the kaptivator.

NOTE The kaptivator does not support the AV/C commands that automatically control typical DV devices such as digital video cameras. This means that depending on the application software you're using on your computer, error messages may appear in response to operation commands that the kaptivator does not support (such as REC/STOP).

NOTE For details on how to operate your video editing application software, contact the manufacturer of your software.

3. Managing data on the hard drive

You can make efficient use of the internal hard drive's recording capacity by taking advantage of the clip copy and clip edit functions.

The video material that is sampled into the kaptivator is stored in minimum units of approximately 8 seconds.

For example if you sample four segments of video, which are respectively (a) 3 seconds, (b) 4 seconds, (c) 5 seconds, and (d) 10 seconds long (totaling 22 seconds), the video material used by these four clips (if sampled individually) would actually occupy (a) 8 seconds, (b) 8 seconds, (c) 8 seconds, and (d) 16 seconds (totaling 40 seconds) of space on the hard disk. If you used your video editing software etc. to connect these four segments of video into a single segment with a few blank frames between them, and sample it as a single clip, this would occupy only 24 seconds of space on the hard disk. Then you would simply copy this 24-second clip to make four clones, and use clip editing to specify the appropriate playback points for each clip so that they would play back just as if you had sampled them separately.

4. Using MIDI to work with clips

What is MIDI?

MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, and is a world-wide standard for transferring a wide variety of performance-related information between electronic musical instruments and computers.

MIDI connections

Use commercially available MIDI cables to send and receive MIDI messages. Connect the kaptivator's MIDI connectors to the MIDI connectors of the external MIDI device.

MIDI IN connector: Receives MIDI messages from another MIDI device. Connect this to the MIDI OUT connector of your external device.

MIDI OUT connector: Transmits MIDI messages from the kaptivator. Connect this to the MIDI IN connector of your external device.

MIDI output when you press a Clip Pad

The following note numbers are assigned to the clip pads. The corresponding Note-on message is transmitted when you press a clip pad.

Using a MIDI keyboard to play clips

You can use Note messages sent from a MIDI keyboard connected to the MIDI IN connector not only to play back the clips selected for the clip pad, but also to play back as many clips as there are keys on your keyboard, without having to switch banks.

How Note messages correspond to Clips

Upper (note numbers: 64–127)

The clips of the eight banks assigned to clip pad Group A (64 clips) are assigned to note numbers 64 through 127 in ascending order.

Lower (note numbers: 0–63)

The clips of the eight banks assigned to clip pad Group B (64 clips) are assigned to note numbers 63 through 0 in descending order.
