CHOOSING A SCAN PATTERN
Scanning works by highlighting different groups of keys on your keyboard in a pattern. When the key
group you want is lit up, then you can press your switch to run a smaller scan within this group of keys.
This continues until eventually you can type your chosen key.
Choosing a suitable scanning pattern will help you to scan your keyboard in the way that suits you:
ROW/COLUMN
Scan one row of the
keyboard at a time,
followed by ‘key by key’ on
the chosen row:
KEY BY KEY
Scan one key at a time,
starting from the top left
and ending at the bottom
right of the keyboard:
HALF AND HALF (SPLIT)
Scan between two halves of
the keyboard, then half of
the selected, until only your
chosen key remains.:
QUICK TIP – you can also change the scanning speed, sounds and loop timeout. See Settings.
