MantaMate Tutorial Walkthrough 

 

With a Manta Controller: 

 

MONOPHONIC KEYBOARD –  

 

Change to preset 01. 

 

Connect 1A output to the v/oct input of an oscillator. 

 

Connect the 1B output to an envelope generator gate input. 

 

Connect the 1C output to the cutoff frequency of a filter. 

 

Connect the oscillator output to the filter input, and the filter output to a VCA, with 
the envelope generator controlling the VCA amplitude.

Play around! The values of the two sliders will come out 2B and 2C, and a trigger will 
come out 2A, so you can add those controls and extend your patch. 

 

The filter will be controlled by the surface area you are covering on the hexagon that is 
currently active (outputting pitch information). 

 

Try touching the top-left and top-right round buttons on the Manta. These will 
transpose up and down by an octave. The amount of transposition will be shown on the 
7-segment display of the MantaMate (with the red LED to the left of the display 
lighting to indicate negative numbers). 

 

Try holding down the bottom-right round button while touching the top-left and top-
right buttons. This will transpose by a semitone.  

 

You can change the 

hexmap

, which is how the pitches are mapped to the hexagons, by 

entering the Left Option Menu. Enter the Left Option Menu by holding down the 
bottom-left round button on the Manta. While holding this button down, touch one of 
the hexagons on the left side of the bottom row. There are six different built-in 

hexmaps

 

available there. To create your own 

hexmap

, look at the instructions in the full manual.  

 

DUOPHONIC/POLYPHONIC KEYBOARD – 

 

Change to preset 02.
