EXP.PEDAL
PEDAL MODE

By connecting your own expression pedal to the pedal, you can use it as a pedal pitch-shifter that can change the pitch based on the sequence.

8 MODES
  • NORMAL

    This is the basic arpeggiator mode for sequencing pitch shifts.

    Filter control is available to set the tone.

  • ORGAN

    You can mix the pitch shift with 5th harmony. This creates a resonant tone reminiscent of an organ.

  • HOLD

    This mode allows you to temporarily hold

    the input sound at the moment you step on the pedal and shift its pitch.

    You can use it to layer phrases like creating a backing track.

  • SQUARE

    This mode converts the input sound into a square wave and shifts its pitch.

    You can use the arpeggiator in this mode to create sounds reminiscent of retro games and fuzz tones.

  • SINE

    This converts a monophonic input signal into a sine wave for a softer tone.

    and shift its pitch.

  • SINE HOLD

    This mode allows you to temporarily hold the input sound, convert it into a sine wave, and shift the pitch of the softer tone.

    (monophonic)

  • GLITCH

    This innovative effect samples the input signal at short intervals and sequences the resulting samples by assigning them to various steps at one of the 8 different playback speeds below.

  • TOYBOX

    This crazy mode applies the 8 different effects below to the input sound and allows the sequencer to output them in turn.

9 PRESET SLOTS

You can save up to 3 patches in each of the 3 banks for a total of 9 preset slots.

The saved presets can be loaded at any time.

QUICK CHANGE

You can also switch between saved presets seamlessly with just the foot switch during your performance.

By holding the TAP switch for over 1 second, you will enter Quick Change mode.

If you release the switch before the bar is gone, a Change Mode dialog will be displayed

that allows you to switch to a different preset by pressing the assigned foot switch.

SEQUENCE FX

The sequence control effects allow you to play more tricky performances.

You can assign your favorite effects from 9 different kinds of effects to the switch.

Retrigger
Return to the first step immediately.
2x
Play the sequence at double speed.
Reverse
Play the sequence backwards.
Once
Stop the sequence automatically at the last step.
Pause
Pause the sequence at the current step.
Momentary Random
Play the sequence randomly when the switch is pressed.
Freeze
Halt the sequence at its current step regardless of the envelope used.
Gallop
Play the sequence at its normal speed and double speed for alternate steps.
TOUCH KEY

This is a capacitive touch keyboard.

By touching any of the 8 “●”, you can instantly play their respective pitches.

This action overrides the effects of the sequence,

so you can use it to make your performance more flexible by

sustaining a particular pitch or inserting an ad lib phrase.

SMART SW.

Stepping on this switch for a brief moment will toggle between ACTIVE/BYPASS modes (alternate switching).

Pressing the switch and holding it down allows you to activate the pedal as long as it is pressed,
by releasing the switch the pedal back to bypass state (momentary switching).

Even if you are quickly switching between different modes such as when you are applying an effect to a part of a phrase,
you can intuitively control it with minimal movement.

FIRM UPDATABLE

TARARIRA will evolve and become better even after your purchase.

We will perform updates for the product by adding new features
and improving the stability of its UI and operations.

ALUMINIUM KNOBS

These aluminum knobs have been uniquely designed using lightweight and durable aluminum of the highest quality.

Moreover, as the software allows your desired operation to take place when you are stepping on the foot switch,

these knobs prevent any unintended changes to the parameters.

Next level radness

Once again Bananana releases something which caused me to think differently, make fresh ideas from old ideas, embrace the random factor. The Tararira is rather like an instrument which feeds on whatever you put through it, mangles it in any number of ways and then arranges to the rhythm like magic. Using with DAW midi sync I have been using it a bit like a plugin but it is in the real world on my desk in front of me. I am still playing around with trying to get MIDI notes to work since upgrading the firmware, but I am quite new to this stuff. Used live the Tararira is quite a commanding presence which could be used as accompaniment in an almost infinite number of ways and adds all sorts of colours to the sound, subtle or ferocious. I am still getting acquainted with my Tararira, but I found that the interface is super intuitive, and I love how the different parameters are grouped together on certain push-knob menus. Great implementation without too much menu diving as each parameter has only one level after selecting, and so everything in the menus is essentially one level deep after selection, making it super easy to get to where you want to be once you remember which knob to press. I love that the random button also works on the pattern edit screen, giving quick access to something completely different any time you like. So many possibilities, and sounds great with my other Bananana pedals. I like to use the Aurora at the beginning of the chain, feeding trigger mode samples into the Tararira, then using the Mandala and Abracadbra further along. Sounds HUGE

Truly Astonishing (My New Favourite Pedal)

I've owned a few arpeggiators, but none even come close to this. The amount of choice you have is MINDBLOWING . I never expected to be able to change the input sound itself before it's arpeggiated, let alone have the ability to shuffle into random sequences, coupled with the choices you're given for setting the feel of the arpeggiation. Lovely metal enclosure, beautifully designed front, there is nothing like it; those make this a truly unique arpeggiator. Do yourself a favour & buy it while you still can because if this ever comes back, you can bet it won't be for a price anywhere near this low.

Awesome!

The first short test showed me how it tracks exceptionally well, the sounds are great and the overall feel of the pedal is awesome! I really have to get into the details yet, but the first impression was great!
