Play keys and chord pads

Keyboard and sound

Choose a keys preset from the sound menu. Touch the two-octave keyboard to play; Octave − and Octave + move its range. Brightness changes tone and Motion adds the selected sound's movement. The lower character control is Tail for pads, Pluck for plucked sounds, or Glide for other families.

Hold and Stop keys

Hold keeps played notes sounding after release. Stop keys releases them. Change octave or preset deliberately while using Hold, and stop notes when finished. Arp turns held chord notes into a repeating pattern rather than sounding them together.

Chord pads

Tap a chord pad to play its notes. Edit chords lets you select and change a chord; + Chord adds another, up to twelve. Done returns to playing. Copy guitar copies chord choices from a guitar in the session. The chord dialog offers a root, major/minor choice, octave, name, and deletion.

Recording

Record captures played notes. Edit part opens the keys take editor. Keys are not represented as guitar/bass tab. Tone opens the keys sound and effects; Session Mix controls the instrument's balance.
