Keys Mode Instruments

When you're in KEYS MODE, the first module slot holds a software instrument instead of taking guitar input, and the slots after it are effects.

• Switch to Keys mode using the Guitar / Keys mode toggle switch

• Click the first slot and choose a software instrument (an Audio Unit instrument)

• Add effects in the slots that follow, exactly like the guitar chain

Everything else on this page — channel formats, bypass, reorder, remove — works the same in both GUITAR MADE AND KEYS MODE chains. See Keys Mode for the full walkthrough.
