4.1 Grid Layout
Synth user interface is based in a 5 x 12 pad grid which is used for playing
synth presets. The grid is customisable to match your preferred style and
also to take advantage of using all 3 synth engines at the same time. The
synths, modes, chords, scales and root notes are congurable.
Conguring the Grid
Conguration is found in the main menu, under the grid options. The main
menu is accessed with the screen knob. The grid settings are saved with
the scene.
