Main Settings
PRESETPRESET
A saved combination of INSTRUMENT 1 settings. For example, the Guitar preset includes
the settings Fretted, Strum, and Guitar tuning (EADGBE). Every preset for the INSTRU-
MENT 1 is comprised of a Mode, Method, and Tuning. Read on to learn about each of
these elements.
MODEMODE
The mode sets how the INSTRUMENT 1 can be played. Two modes set the fingerboard to
respond like digital strings:
Grid mode has 72 notes on the fingerboard in a 12 x 6 arrangement with an additional 6
triggers on the bridge. Any note on the grid can be pressed and played, meaning you can
play multiple notes on the same string.
Unlike string modes where the tuning ascends chromatically from a base tuning, each
Grid mode note location can be tuned individually.
You’ll notice the notes in Grid mode are where the strings are in Fretted and Fretless
modes, not the spaces in between strings.

Pad mode has 12 locations with an additional 6 triggers on the bridge. In this mode, an
entire fret becomes one large pad, so just a single note or chord will be triggered no mat-
ter what part of the region is pressed.

METHODMETHOD
The method setting determines how you intend to interact with the INSTRUMENT 1.
Some methods are only available for certain modes.
STRUMSTRUM
(Available for Fretted, Fretless, and Pad modes)
Strum method is similar to playing strings like a guitar, bass, banjo, harp, ect. A string will
be activated by strumming or plucking the bridge. Notes can also be activated by striking
the fingerboard as a hammer-on or pulling-off to another fretted note.
The bridge and fingerboard are sensitive to how hard they are played (velocity).
If you are holding a string on the fingerboard, the note will stop when the fingerboard is
released. Open strings will ring out for some time unless they are muted. Strings can be
muted in a few different ways:
If you press straight into the bridge, this will mute the note. When you release this, a
note will not be triggered.
If you touch the bridge, but release slowly, this will not trigger a note. (As if you were
playing bass and your finger lands on a lower string, not intending to pluck it.)
If you lightly press an active open string on the fingerboard, this will mute the note.
TAPTAP
(Available for Fretted, Grid, and Pad modes)
Tap method is similar to playing a keyboard or a drum pad. When you tap or press the
fingerboard or bridge, a note will be triggered. When you release, the note will turn off.
The bridge and fingerboard are sensitive to how hard they are played (velocity).
