Performance (Keybed and Hardware Sources)

The , arguably the most important performance input, provides polyphonic control over notes (currently 24 voices) and monophonic (as shown above). The semi-weighted, high quality Keybed is produced by Fatar, and has 61 keys (5 octaves).

Apart from its integrated monophonic Aftertouch, seven further monophonic Sources can be used in performance. (The entire modulation mechanism is currently monophonic.) These are: the , two (see above) and four external (as shown below: a continuous pedal and a switching pedal) can all be integrated into the system for expressive play.

While performing, notes can be played (on the Keybed) and movements made (with the Hardware Sources) to bring motion and variation into your sound.

The eight Hardware Sources are the first of three modulation stages. They gather the user's performance input and distribute the hardware source movements to the six Controls. The Hardware Sources work in various ways, depending on the behavior and settings of the individual sources.

These are detailed in chapter Using Hardware Sources.
