NOTE DISPLAY
This displays the note you are currently playing, both in terms of fingering and in terms of its
position on the staff
TRAINING
This is where you can retrain your ClariMate in case it is not recognising the fingerings you
are playing correctly. You can also load preset fingerings in this section and save your custom
fingerings.
SYNTH CONTROLS
This is where you can control the sound of your ClariMate. You can change the volume,
the environment volume (This is used to adapt the ClariMate to the ambient noise of your
environment) and you can transpose the ClariMate, as well as change the reed opening.
BREATH CONTROLS
The breath controls section allows you to set the breath threshold (the point at which your
ClariMate starts to make a sound). A higher threshold means you have to blow harder to make
a sound. A lower threshold means it is easier to make a sound. Setting the threshold too low
can result in a sound being permanently played. You can also use this screen to calibrate the
ClariMate active reed.
a. Fingering Training Mode: E2-G5 and E2-C6
The ClariMate by default should recognise all notes from low E to high G with some alternate
fingerings. If you would like to go up to high C with more alternates or your chosen fingerings
for your instrument do not work properly (ie. notes are not recognised as they should be, the
sound is skipping between notes, etc.) you can redo the training manually
1. Go to the application training tab and hit the Train button
2. Select which level you would like to train. The level of training determines what notes are
recognised. The first level will allow you to play from low E to high G, while the second
level allows you to go all the way up to high C with more alternate fingerings.
3. You can either choose to redo the entire training set or simply choose the notes that are not
responding well using the rotating dial or the +/- buttons
4. Each prompted note will give you a recommended fingering, but feel free to use your own
fingering method
5. Make sure not to leave your unused fingers laying on the keys as this can cause a
disturbance in the recognition method.
6. If you have chosen to activate training by blowing, you only need to blow a very short
stream of air for each note(think of playing a staccato eighth-note immediately followed
by a rest)
7. You can then save your training set when done.
