The LCD display shows the functionality of the 

knobs on the bottom row and the notes being played 

on top. The number of instruments is always three 

and cannot be changed in Hulusi mode.

Hulusi mode emulates the Chinese flute “Hulusi”. The word Hulusi translates to silk 
gourd and is said to have a silky tone to the instrument. The Hulusi consists of three 

pipes the first of which is able to play notes in the scale. The 2nd and 3rd pipes act as 

resonators that play an interval of the key of the instrument. Two additional voices 

(

drones

)

 will play relative to the key selected.

The m!lTone expands on the Hulusi by allowing  the use of hundreds of di

erent scales. 

The Hulusi flute has sounds similar to square and sawtooth waves. One can modify the 

wave type of each of the three notes and can closely match the real sound of the Hulusi 

flute.
