01 / THE MAPPING

What each finger count does

Show one to five fingers in camera mode to select pads 1–5. You can make the same selection by clicking a pad or pressing its number key. Hand height changes the tone, not the notes in the chord.

The chord names and notes above update when you select a different key or scale. Major and minor have different chord qualities, so listen before using the same finger pattern in both.

02 / ORIGINAL EXERCISES

Three short patterns to try

These are simple practice loops made for this instrument, not transcriptions of copyrighted songs. Each number is a pad or finger count. Try one chord per beat and repeat the line.

01 / OPEN1 → 4 → 5 → 1

Start on the home chord, build tension, then settle back.

02 / TURN1 → 5 → 4 → 5

Alternate the two brighter outside chords.

03 / WANDER1 → 2 → 4 → 5

Move outward one chord at a time before returning to 1.

03 / TAKE IT FURTHER

Play the full instrument

Use the studio to change timbre, adjust tone, try the camera, and record a 15-second idea. The chord choices on this page are a quick way to learn the mapping before you play.
