4.1 Graphical Display
The display is usually divided into three general sections: a title line providing general
information about the active page; a central section most often showing note data (also
used for MIDI router or setup configuration data); and a footer line, which “labels” or maps
the upper six general purpose keys to actions or settings:
Here the MUTE screen of Track 3, Scene B is displayed, which is currently muted and
mapped to user instrument “Andromed” and the current playback position of this clip is
step 43 of 64. The sequencer is running, the time cursor is about three quarters “through
the sequence” and the lower six tracks are available for muting and unmuting by pushing
the first row of keys.

This concatenated number consisting of scene number and track number is
displayed on most pages in the upper-left corner of the OLED.
The nearby LEDs visualize the currently active scene.

SELECT
Multipurpose knob, but usually selects the active track on many screens. On the
note editor page, it selects the edited note; on the config and router screens, it

allowing quick fast-forward or rewinds when the sequencer is running.

LIVE
Live performance knob. Pushing the knob switches between two performance
modes. The default mode is “live transposition”, where turning the knob will
transpose any channels that are enabled for live transposition. When switched to
