Instrument timbres are Web Audio interpretations. Piano, strings and other factory PCM sounds are synthesized approximations.

Click the joystick: waiting → record → loop. The first track sets the length; subsequent tracks sync to it.

Change key & octave: Gray, then joystick left/right for key or up/down for octave. Play a chord to leave the menu.
Sounds & effects: Yellow, then left/right for sounds. Up enters effects; left/right browse and up changes the value.
Quick select: Hold yellow + 1–7 for sounds, or red + 1–7 for modes. Hold gray + 1–6 in Arp for patterns; 7 changes layering.
Per-chord edits: Hold a chord, then gray/red to shift its octave or yellow to invert it. Hold a chord + joystick + yellow to lock its voicing.
Eight-way keyboard joystick: Combine arrow keys for diagonals. Space clicks. Hold Z, X or C with a chord key for hardware shortcuts.
Volume wheel: The ribbed wheel on the left edge controls volume. Hold gray for attack, yellow for release or red for filter cutoff.
