Perform View

The Perform View is the home screen after power-on. It shows the selected knob, its four macros, live macro indicator bars, and the active project name and tempo in the header.

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 and knob name — which physical control you are viewing (here 1 — 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. Turning the encoder opens the full Knobs Grid name list.

3

Project name

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

4

BPM and metronome

Current tempo and whether the internal clock is running. 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.

Macro indicator bars

The vertical bars on the right mirror the four macro rows: one bar per active macro. They show the same value the knob is sending, scaled to each macro’s min/max range.

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.

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

Turn a panel knobJump to that knob on screen and send macro MIDI (when configured)

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.

Panel knobs vs encoder browsing

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.
Turn the encoder EncoderChanges the selected knob without moving the physical control. Opens the Knobs Grid so you can read names and settings before touching the panel.

Use the encoder 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

Turn the encoder Turn the encoder on Perform (without pressing Select) 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, macro-bar animation on the underlay is frozen. Navigation and closing: Knobs Grid.

Edit mode

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

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.
