• Oct -/+: These buttons control the key range available along the keyboard.
Tip: You can use this while holding notes to access unavailable notes. Particularly handy
when used in conjunction with Sustain and Chord mode.
• Transpose: Holding this button enters Transpose mode. Here you can directly transpose
the pitch of both oscillators using the keyboard. C2 (directly beneath the Transpose
button) is the default position. Keys below this transpose down 1 semitone per key and
keys above transpose up 1 semitone per key.
Note: Using transpose will not trigger a new note. If you are using low EG settings you
may not notice the change. This can be used to great effect while sequencing the synth
from its Arp or Seq or from external sources.
Note. Pressing Transpose without entering any key values will reset transposition to 0.
Transpose is a performance feature and as such is not saved per patch. It will remain until
it is either reset, turned off or the unit is power cycled.
• Chord: Pressing this button while holding a chord (input directly from the keys or via
incoming MIDI) stores this chord and enables chord mode. This chord can then be
played from a single note trigger until the chord is changed, or chord mode is disabled.
To change a chord, simply turn Chord mode off and repeat the process holding your
new chord shape. To exit simply press the Chord button again. The Chord function is a
performance feature and as such is not saved per patch. It will remain until it is either
reset or the unit is power cycled.
• Mono: This button selects Mono voice mode for the current patch. 4 oscillators will be
stacked into a single voice
• Poly: This button selects polyphonic voice mode for the current patch. 8 voice stereo true
polyphonic path all the way to the stereo FX engine input.
• Unison: This button selects Unison voice mode. Cycle through to choose between
Unison-2, Unison-4 or Unison-8. These are monophonic voice modes where multiple
voices are stacked and detuned, the number reflects the number of voices per note.
• Stack: This button selects Stack voice mode. Cycle through to choose between Stack-2
or Stack-4. These are polyphonic voice modes where multiple voices are stacked. Stack-2
offer 4-note polyphony and Stack-4 offers 2-note polyphony.
• Drift: This encoder controls the voice drift amount. This is the amount of slop or random
detuning of each oscillators phase and tune per note.
• Width: Holding the Shift button and (or when latched in shift mode) turning this
encoder controls the voice width of the current patch. This sets how far left and right the
alternating pan of the voices is from mono at 0 to hard panned & wide at 127.

Joystick
The joystick can be assigned to up to 11 destinations at once. You can assign things to any of
the X or Y directions. The Joystick position can be locked or unlocked using the Velo + XYLock
button combination. This locks the joystick at whatever value it was held at while the buttons
were depressed.
The X axis controls pitch bend as standard but this can also be turned off (on-screen: Joystick:
Pitchbend status or on MODALapp) it also sends MIDI pitch bend messages which can also be
toggled on or off in the global settings.
Y+ sends MIDI mod wheel data (CC1) which can also be toggled on or off in the global
settings.
Y- Sends MIDI CC118 which can also be toggled on or off in the global settings.
Audio In
The audio inputs route audio directly in to the 3-slot stereo FX engine although this can also
be bypassed if you want to use the Audio In to only mix in the audio input with the synths
output. The Audio In settings (Audio-In Volume, FX Bypass) are temporary and will not be
saved so will need to be reset when using upon each boot.
