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.
10
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).
Owner’s Manual
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.

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 kaptiv ator’ s capa-
bilities.
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.
Owner’s Manual

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.
3Press 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.
3Press 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.
4Press 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.
5Press 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

NOTE The Clip Edit parameters allow to adjust the playbac k 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.
1Press 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.
21
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 y ou 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.

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 ref erences that cut, so that it will not operate correctly.
NOTE If you performed a divided backup , the system will not operate correctly unless y ou 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.
2Press the EDIT key to select “Backup,” and press the YES/WRITE key.
3Press 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.
2Press the EDIT key to select “Backup,” and press the YES/WRITE key.
3Press 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.

Clip parameter list
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 pla yback type , y ou won’t be ab le to change this setting unless y ou
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.

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.
41
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.

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.
2Press the EDIT key several times to access the BPM value parameter.
3Press the
video to specify the BPM value. Alternatively, you can use the VALUE knob to specify the
BPM value.
4Press 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."
key to play back the clip normally. Tap the TAP/BPM key in time with the
(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.
3Press 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 oc-
cur. 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.”
5Press 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.
3Tap 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.
44
Sending the kaptivator’s main video output to your computer
1Turn 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.
4Make 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 edit-
ing application.
Sampling video from your computer into the kaptivator
1Turn on the kaptivator and set the DV connector setting to “in.” (☞p.9)
2 Start up your computer.
3 Connect your computer to the kaptivator’s DV port.
4Make 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 com-
puter.
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 oper ate your video editing application softw are, contact the manuf acturer
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 corre-
sponding Note-on message is transmitted when you press a clip pad.
A
64 65 66
60
B

61 62
Using a MIDI keyboard to play clips
You can use Note messages sent from a MIDI keyboard connected to the MIDI IN connec-
tor 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.
