Tips
- Pressing the patch display box will bring up the SFZ file selection screen.
- Pressing the downward chevron icon next to the patch display box will bring up the file-related menu.
- After specifying the SFZ file, you must select a folder. To avoid the folder selection screen again, specify a folder in the upper hierarchy that contains all SFZ files.
- When “Control” (third option on the menu bar) is selected, the control button changes to a panic button. Pressing the panic button will stop any currently playing sounds.
