Perform View

The Perform View is the home screen after power-on. It shows the selected knob, its macros, live macro indicator bars, and the active project name and tempo in the header. If the knob has one, two, or three macros turned on, Perform packs those macros — see One, two, or three macros.

Perform View with header, macro rows, and indicator bars

Example: knob 1 — Cutoff in project Live Set. Four macros with different modes; macro rows 0 and 1 have LFO modulation (second line on the matching bars).

The top strip always shows where you are in the project and on the panel — read it left to right (numbered 1–4 on the screenshot).

Knob index and name

Knob index (dim, fixed two-digit slot) and knob name — which physical control you are viewing (here 1 next to Cutoff). Set the name in edit mode or the text editor.

2

32-knob mini-grid

Map of all 32 knobs; the framed cell is your current selection. Left half = knobs 1–16, right half = 17–32. Press Press Back (short) Back to open the full Knobs Grid name list.

3

Project name

The active saved setup (here Live Set). Rename from edit mode or Main Menu → Project.

4

BPM and clock

Current tempo and whether the internal clock is running. Two stacked marks next to the number flip with each beat while the clock runs, and both sit dim when it is stopped. Edit from edit mode or tap tempo.

Macro rows

Four rows — one per macro. Each row is a live readout of what that macro is doing while you turn the knob (mode, target, current level). The exact labels depend on how the macro is configured — CC rows look different from device or LFO rows.

Macro rows on Perform View
Rows

Rows 0–3. An LFO badge (~) on a row means an LFO is modulating that MIDI macro (rows 0 and 1 here).

For a full explanation of each row type, see Macro rows on PerformClassic MIDI, Device parameter, LFO parameter, CV16 control.

Press Select (short) Press Select to enter edit mode and change macros.

One, two, or three macros

When fewer than four macros are on, Perform packs them — empty + rows stay hidden until edit mode. The pieces stay the same as the four-row list: identity, live value, indicator bar, and LFO box. They just get more height. Row types (CC, device, LFO) are unchanged — see Macro rows on Perform.

One macro

The name and live value sit large on the first line. Channel, outputs, and the indicator bar sit on a second line below.

Single-macro Perform

If an LFO is assigned, L1 and a live wave appear beside the bar on that second line.

Single-macro Perform with LFO

Two macros

Two taller rows with a dim line between them. Each row keeps the same split: name and value on the upper line; details, LFO, and bar on the lower line.

Two macros packed

Three macros

Three compact rows — same columns as the four-row list, just taller. The live value is flush right, the bar sits to its left, and an LFO assignment shows a ~ badge next to the bar.

Three macros packed

Four macros (or none) keep the usual four-row layout. Press Select (short) Select still opens edit mode with all four slots so you can add another.

Macro indicator bars

The indicator bars show the same value as the number, scaled to each macro’s min/max range. On four-row and three-macro layouts they sit just left of the value. On one- and two-macro layouts they sit on the lower line of the row, flush right.

Four-row Perform with indicator bars left of the values
Bars

Bright line — current value from the knob. Dimmer line — LFO-modulated level when assigned (rows 0 and 1). Gray bands outside the bright area mark a restricted min/max range (rows 1 and 3). Row 2 is inverted: high values move left instead of right.

Turn the knob to move all value lines together. LFO lines animate with the assigned LFOs during performance.

Pickup mode

Pickup mode (soft takeover) stops a macro from jumping to a new value the first time you touch a knob after loading a project or recalling a snapshot. Turn it on per macro in the macro grid — see Setting up macros — Pickup mode.

When pickup is waiting for you to catch up:

  • The macro value is dimmer on the row.
  • The indicator bar shows a dotted vertical line at the value you need to reach.
  • The knob does not send MIDI until you turn it to that line — then control resumes normally.

Pickup

The first row is waiting: the value is dimmer, and a dotted line on the bar marks the stored level. Turn the knob until you reach that line. The other rows send normally.

If the physical knob already matches the stored value when the project loads, pickup does nothing — you can play immediately.

Press Select (short) Press Select on Perform to enter edit mode and change macros, the knob name, project name, or BPM.

Panel knobs vs Knobs Grid

Two ways to change which knob Perform shows:

InputWhat happens
Turn a panel knobThe display jumps to that knob immediately. Macro MIDI is sent when configured.
Knobs GridPress Back (short) Back opens the name list. Encoder highlights a knob without moving the physical control. Press Select (short) Select confirms it and returns to Perform. Press Back (short) Back cancels and restores the pot that was showing when you opened the grid.

Use the Grid when you want to look ahead — for example, check knob 12’s macros while leaving the physical knob where it is. Turn the actual knob when you want to perform and send MIDI.

INFO

If you move more than one knob at once, the display stays on the first knob that moved until it stops; other knobs still send MIDI, but the screen does not jump between them.

Knobs Grid overlay

Press Back (short) Press Back on Perform to open the Knobs Grid — a full-screen list of all 32 knob names in one 4×8 grid. The header mini-grid stays visible so you can see left vs right half at a glance.

Knobs Grid

While the grid is open, only the header mini-grid, page arrows, and BPM stay visible — no macro rows or bars behind the name list. Navigation and leaving: Knobs Grid.

Edit mode

Press Select (short) Press Select on a knob to edit its four macros, knob name, project name, and BPM.

Edit mode

INFO

See Edit Mode for the full walkthrough and Tap Tempo for setting BPM by tapping.

Macros

Each knob has four macros. Configure them in edit mode — see Macros.
