The Perform View is the home screen after power-on. It shows the selected knob, its macros, live macro indicator bars, and the 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.
Example: knob 1 Cutoff. 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 on the panel — read it left to right (numbered 1–3 on the screenshot).
Knob index sits in a small open-left tab, lined up with the macros on the left. The knob name is just to the right of that tab, so it does not jump when the number goes from 9 to 10. In edit mode the pencil sits in the tab, left of the number.
Map of all 32 knobs; the taller bright cell is your current selection. Left half = knobs 1–16, right half = 17–32. Press Back to open the full Knobs Grid name list.
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.
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 Perform — Classic MIDI, Device parameter, LFO parameter, CV16 control.
Long-press Select to enter edit mode and change 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.
The name and live value sit large on the first line. Channel, outputs, and the indicator bar sit on a second line below. POLY AT writes POLY AT in that large name, with the note next to the channel — see Classic MIDI.
If an LFO is assigned, L1 and a live wave appear beside the bar on that second line.
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.
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.
Four macros (or none) keep the usual four-row layout. Select still opens edit mode with all four slots so you can add another.
A knob mapped to a snapshot slot or a morph amount is a scene control, not a device control, and Perform labels it that way at every size.
SNAP knobs show the bank they recall from — Knobs, LFOs, or the rack’s name — and the scene they are parked on. That scene name (or 01–32 when the pad has no name) sits on the right, like any other macro value.
MORPH knobs show the same bank, then which snapshot they are aiming at: TO DROP (or TO 04 if the pad has no name). The blend percent sits on the right. With one macro, the bank and that destination each get a line under the title. With two or more, they share the row. A is the live sound, not a stored pad — there is no A/B letter pair.
With two macros on, each row still reads the full bank (Knobs, LFOs, or the rack name) and, on a morph row, TO plus the destination. The percent stays on the right. A rack with no name reads RACK 1–RACK 8.
Three and four macros use that same wording on the compact row. The scene name or percent stays on the right, in line with the other macro values.
The indicator bar still tracks the knob itself, so you can see where you are in the sweep. An LFO cannot be assigned to a snapshot or morph knob, so these rows never show an L box or a ~ badge.
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.
Bright line — current value from the knob. Dimmer line — LFO-modulated level when assigned (rows 0 and 1). Checkered bands outside the bright area mark a restricted min/max range (rows 1 and 3) in the same dark gray as the bar. Row 2 is inverted: high values move left instead of right.
On/off, sync/free, and other two-state destinations use a switch in the bar: the inside stays black, and a gray pad sits on the off half. The pad moves to the other half and lights up at the same halfway point as the value — and as the destination. That includes a CC, PC, aftertouch, pitch bend, or CV jack whose min and max are consecutive integers (typically 0 and 1). Invert swaps which side is off. A full 0–127 CC stays a continuous bar. Unused range outside min/max stays the checkered band. The value and LFO lines stay on top.
Turn the knob to move all value lines together. LFO lines animate with the assigned LFOs during performance.
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:
Row 0 has pickup armed: dim value 15, solid value mark still on the bar, dotted catch line near the top (target ~90). Row 1 is a normal CC macro at full brightness. Turn row 0’s knob up until it reaches the dotted line to engage.
If the physical knob already matches the stored value when the project loads, pickup does nothing — you can play immediately.
Long-press Select on Perform to enter edit mode and change macros, the knob name, or BPM.Perform is the home zoom level. The four levels are:
Grid ↔ Perform ↔ Macro selection ↔ Macro edit
| Control | Action |
|---|---|
| Turn a panel knob | Jump to that knob on screen and send macro MIDI (when configured) |
| Back | Open the Knobs Grid name list. Back on the Grid returns to Perform |
| Long-press Select | The header Select square fills; edit mode opens when the hold completes (edit mode). Letting go early stays on Perform. Select + Back during that hold still opens Main Menu |
| Hold Select + Back | Open Main Menu (also from Knobs Grid; not while Knob Snapshots is open) |
| Turn the encoder Encoder | Does not open the names grid and does not walk knobs. Pick a pot by name on the Grid (Back, then encoder, then Select). |
Knobs are numbered down each column: 1–4, 5–8, … 29–32. The left half of the panel and mini-grid is knobs 1–16; the right half is 17–32.
Two ways to change which knob Perform shows:
| Input | What happens |
|---|---|
| Turn a panel knob | The display jumps to that knob immediately. Macro MIDI is sent when configured. |
| Knobs Grid | Back opens the name list. Encoder highlights a knob without moving the physical control. Select confirms it and returns to Perform. Another Back returns to Perform (does not open snapshots). |
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.
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. Back on the Knobs Grid returns to Perform. Hold Select+Back on the Knobs Grid opens Main Menu (it does not open snapshots). Open knob snapshots from Main Menu → Snapshots.
Each knob has four macros. Configure them in edit mode — see Macros.
