A tour of the stage

The stage is the screen that stays open during the show. Everything you need to play is on it: the song and the part, the channels with your sounds, the keyboard and the wheels.

The top bar

From left to right:

The channels

The channels sit side by side in the middle, like a console. Each one shows its number and name in its colour, the Edit button with the MIDI channel, the effects, PAN, the fader with the level in dB, the macros and MUTE. Tap a channel to select it: the on-screen keyboard, the wheels and the chord follow the selected channel. See Channels and sounds.

Above the channels, CHANNELS shows the channels and PLAYBACK shows the tracks of the song’s VS or multitrack (Playback).

The parts bar

Under the channels are the song’s parts (Intro, Verse, Chorus…), in the order you play them. Tap a part to go to it. The arrows on each side show earlier and later parts without changing part. At the end of the bar is Store, which keeps what you changed in the part (Store what you changed in a part).

The Drone and the DrumPads

On the right are the Drone (the continuous pad, with one key per pitch) and the 16 DrumPads. They have their own articles: Drone and DrumPads.

The keyboard and the wheels

At the bottom, an 88-key keyboard with the PITCH and MOD wheels on the left and EXPR on the right. The coloured bars above the keys show where each channel plays. See The on-screen keyboard and wheels.

In the Phone layout

In the Phone layout the screen shows one thing at a time: the left menu switches between Mixer, Playback, Drums and Drone. Channels show 4 at a time (tap 1–4 or 5–8, or swipe sideways). There is no on-screen keyboard, and the chord takes the place of KEY while you hold notes.
