Navigation
Press a button or turn a knob, and the display will show the related page. See “Modwave page map” on page 2 for all of
the pages in the UI and their associated front-panel controls.
Some pages, such as Mixer & Sub Osc, are only displayed by turning a knob. Similarly, the ARPEGGIATOR button
both edits a parameter and displays a page. To display these or any other pages without making an edit, hold ENTER
and turn or press the related knob or button. The page will appear with the parameter selected, but the value will not be
changed.
To go back to selecting sounds, press PERFORM. If you don’t see the main page the first time, press PERFORM again;
two presses will always bring you to the home page with the Performance name selected.
< > and PAGE-/PAGE+ are the basic controls for moving around in the display.
< and > cursor through parameters, and can also select items in lists.
Hold SHIFT and press < or > to use PAGE- and PAGE+, which select pages in the display. There are page indicators in
the upper right of the display; the filled-in circle shows the current page.

LAYER A/B: Layers contain a Program, an Arpeggiator, and a handful of other settings. The front panel edits one
Layer at a time, as selected by these buttons. To turn a Layer on or off, hold SHIFT and press the Layer’s button, or just
double-press the button.
Most pages on the display apply only to the selected Layer. For these pages, the Layer’s letter (A/B) is shown in the
upper left of the display.
