Play

Press a black key to select a chord. Tap or sweep the white keys. In Freeplay, keys you touch trigger strings; in Strum/Arp, hold a chord key for rhythm. Muted parts stay silent, while lane-start markers remain lit.

Hold ENV for three seconds to lock or unlock the chord. PLAY/STOP damps all strings.

Turn

Drag a knob up or down, scroll over it, or use its − / + buttons. ARP cycles Freeplay, Strum and Arp. SELECT directly controls 40–240 BPM. Hold a black chord key to repeat; a tap gives one stroke or arp note. Divisions run from 1/1 to 1/32, each with straight, dotted (D) and triplet (T) variants. Gate defaults to FREE for natural ringing tails; 25–100% gates remain available. Arp and Strum K1 include random half-chord, random two-thirds and full-chord options. Strum also offers a fast up-down-up flourish. The lit caps on white keys 1, 7 and 13 mark the lane starts. In Strum/Arp the four knobs control pattern, division, gate and strum sweep/swing. Strum sweep sets INSTANT or 5–250 ms in 5 ms steps independently of repeat tempo. FX toggles the normal tone controls and Home. GLO opens global settings: K1 gate tails On/Off, K2 strum humanity, K3 guitar tuning, K4 Strum/Arp velocity (80% default); SEL confirms and returns Home. FREE always uses natural decay; percentage gates can ring with a softer release when tails are On. ALGORITHM browses the 16 instruments. PRESETS browses the 50 chord styles. Black keys choose individual chords. The top-right Visuals button switches the note animation on or off.

Hold GLO for three seconds for Reset everything?; SEL restores factory settings and chord slots, HOME cancels. Tap GLO normally for settings. Tap EDIT to assign a slot. Hold EDIT for 1.2 seconds to reset this slot or all slots with PRESETS, then tap SEL to confirm. In Freeplay or on the FX page, Knob 4 changes the selected chord’s voicing; each black-key slot remembers its choice. MASTER controls volume. SAVE keeps voicings, style and edited slots in this browser. Changing style loads its factory chord set. In Freeplay or FX, Knob 1: 50% is the normal sound; lower is soft and dark, higher adds brightness and aggressive drive to guitar/synthetic patches. Harp and Violin stay clean across the range. Changes shape the next note. Unassigned panel buttons are dimmed.
