Keyboard Control
Every knob, switch and button on the main panel can be reached and operated from the keyboard alone, without touching the mouse. Two things are still mouse-only: the twelve strings on the harp canvas (their tuning pegs, mute and ghost-mute buttons) and the preset list itself -- the preset chip can be opened from the keyboard, but the list that drops down can only be dismissed with Escape, not navigated.
Tab moves forward through the controls and Shift+Tab moves back, following the panel's visual reading order: the title-bar ? and ⚙ buttons, then the preset row (‹ ›, the preset chip, Save, ⋯, Delete), then Voice (Material, Bright, Damp, Length), Stereo + Output (Pan Layout, Width, Volume), Resonance (Sympathy, Body), Pairing (Pairing, 12-String, Mix), Wind (Wind, Turbulence, Gust, Breath), and finally the NOTES and TUNE panel discs. A control that is currently greyed out -- Mix and 12-String while Pairing is off -- is skipped rather than being a stop that does nothing.
Whichever control you land on is outlined with a focus ring so you can always see where you are.
Once a control has the focus:
| Control | Keys |
|---|---|
| Rotary knobs (Bright, Damp, Length, Sympathy, Body, Width, Volume, Mix, and the four wind knobs) | ↑ / ↓ nudge the value by one step of the amount the readout shows -- 1 % for most knobs, 0.5 % for Damp, 0.5 cm for Length. Page Up / Page Down move ten steps at a time, and Home / End jump straight to the minimum or maximum. |
| Material and Pan Layout | ↑ / ↓ move through the options and stop at each end. Enter or Space cycles to the next option and wraps round, exactly as clicking does. |
| Pairing and 12-String toggles | Space or Enter flips the switch. |
| Preset chip | Enter or Space opens the preset list; Escape closes it again. |
| Preset ‹ ›, Save, Delete, ⋯, ⚙, ?, and the NOTES / TUNE discs | Enter presses the button. Space is deliberately left alone here so it still reaches your DAW as the transport key. |
Nudging a knob from the keyboard shows the same floating value box a drag does, so you can see exactly where you are landing, and it is recorded by your DAW as one clean automation edit for the whole time you hold the key down -- not one edit per repeat.
