BASIC OPERATION
10
When first switching on Kitara, the instrument will default to Touchpad Mode.
The screen will be blue.
Pressing on the touchpad will play the highest note pressed on each of
the six strings.
Pressing on a string will play the corresponding note, similar to a guitar string
on a traditional guitar.Press a note key on the neck to increase the tone pitch of
of the string block.
In Tap Mode, the general operation is the same as in Standard Play Mode, except
that notes on Kitara’s neck immediately plays regardless of any fingers being
pressed on the touch panel. It is useful for the two-handed tapping technique.
The Touchpad, Strings and X/Y ball control are a different colour in Tap Mode.
Dragging the X/Y ball will modify various sound parameters. This is
determined by the settings in the
configuration menu
(unique for each preset).
See section “Assigning Controls to Synth or MIDI Parameters” for more
