Stage mode

Performing live

Building a patch and playing one are different postures. These are the tools for the second one — a stage mode, whole-patch morphing, and one-gesture macro control.

Performance View

Click Live in the toolbar (or File → Performance View) and the window fills with big knobs: every MIDI-learned parameter, every Macro module, and the Scene morph slider. It's built for dark rooms and laptop lids — large targets, no canvas clutter.

Esc returns to the canvas; the patch never stops.
The QWERTY keys keep playing notes while Performance View is up.
What appears there is what you've mapped — so MIDI Learn is also your set-list editor: map the five knobs that matter for the gig and Performance View shows exactly those.

Scenes A / B

The A and B toolbar buttons each capture a snapshot of every knob in the patch. The morph slider then glides the whole patch between them — filter sweeps, texture swaps, breakdown-to-drop transitions, performed with one hand while the other plays. Capture A as the verse, twist half the patch into something else, capture B, and the slider is now your arrangement.

Macros and the XY Pad

Macro — one knob drives four CV outputs, each with its own bipolar depth. Patch it into cutoff, reverb mix, delay feedback and LFO rate, and one gesture becomes a scene change. Macros always appear in Performance View.
XY Pad — a draggable 2D controller with X and Y CV outs: two parameters under one fingertip.

A reliable live rig: synced Clock → Trig Seq for drums, a generative melody quantized in key, Scenes A/B as your two arrangement poles, and three learned knobs in Performance View. Practise the morph. That's a set.
