01 / CHOOSE A SOUND

Turn PATCHES on HOME. REC adds a heart; favorites also appear at the top. GLO opens oscillator 1; press again for oscillator 2 (WAVE starts at OFF). EDIT opens the filter. ENV sets ADSR. LFO: rate, filter depth, target, target depth. Targets: volume, delay send, oscillator 2 pitch or detune. Turn knobs by dragging vertically or using the wheel.

02 / LET IT EVOLVE

PLAY starts the generator. SCL sets root, scale and note range; press again for scale LEDs and Scale only. Default tempo is 80 BPM. ARP opens loop length in bars, note count, duration and probability. SEQ opens direction, interval, chaos and timing. The piano roll repeats exactly until a pattern setting changes. OCT keys glow brighter with each octave; OCT 0 leaves both off. SELECT sets BPM. ALGORITHM controls low-pass cutoff. Reverb is on FX. Pattern edits keep the playhead moving.

03 / KEEP YOUR SOUND

Stop playback, then SAVE. Knob 1 moves the cursor; knob 2 changes a character. SAVE or OCT+ stores the patch. A matching name asks before overwriting. Press HOME again on the patch list to delete the selected patch. KNOB 1 selects Yes/No; HOME confirms. Both questions start at No. HOME or OCT− cancels. Sounds and hearts stay in this browser. FX cycles through three pages: sends, space settings, and effect types. Page 3 selects Classic/Ping Pong/Reverse delay, Room/Spring/Hall/Space/Shimmer/Submarine reverb, tone and motion.
