Overview of UI & Modes

MAINFRAME-B's User Interface allows you to fully customize your controller and how it reacts to MIDI notes. The following sections of the User Interface informs the user of MAINFRAME-B's core functions: Zones, Parameters and Modulation. This is just an overview, each of these functions have dedicated sections within this guide.

Zones

At all times you have a particular zone selected, and it is highlighted. The selected parameter is the value of that parameter for the selected zone. Despite which zone is selected, all of them will display on the LED strip!

The zone LED also provides feedback in two ways:

• It flashes when it receives a MIDI note.
• It displays the hue of that zone.

Parameters

The parameter knob can scroll through the parameters, and press to go in and out of edit mode. 

By pressing FUNC and ZONE, you can enter and exit the Preset Menu. From here you can change the selected preset and MIDI channel for that zone.

Modulations

Shows you how the parameter is modulated, or if it's possible at all. 

When a modulated parameter is selected, pressing MOD will cycle through the modulation options.

Pressing FUNC and MOD will have different behaviors depending on the mode. This will be explained in the relevant sections.

‍

All of MAINFRAME’s settings follows a typical format, which also describes how everything is nested:

ZONE | PARAMETER | MODULATION

And within PARAMETER: PRESET MENU | PARAMETER EDIT

Each zone has 8 presets, and each preset has 10 parameters. The parameters are the same, but unique values can be set for each preset for each zone.
