Our workflow configurations are made for specific modules for the most convenient experience. The configurations can be adapted to other modules, once you get to know Grid in detail.
Play in Any Key or Scale
Select your root note and choose from a full range of major or minor scales. Each pad stays in key, so every note fits — letting you explore melodies freely without worrying about wrong notes.
Two Octaves, Full Expression
The BU16’s 16 velocity-sensitive pads span two octaves and include dedicated octave up/down controls. From deep basslines to bright leads, it offers a wide range of expression in a compact form.
Plug In and Play
Simply connect the BU16 to your synth or DAW and start performing. Designed for spontaneous creation and fluid performance, it keeps you focused on the music.
Never go out of scale
To connect the BU16 to any hardware synthesizer, use Knot USB MIDI host and explore melodies freely. The profile keeps every note in key automatically, no wrong notes, just pure expression and spontaneous creation.
Adjust the setup to your workflow
In our workflow demonstrations, we focus on efficient showcases of key features. We are well aware of the fact, that there is hard to find a one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to creative processes. All profiles, which are used in workflows can be changed and further customized. In most cases, the profile descriptions in the Editor software can be followed for quick configurations or use parts of the config to build out your truly own workflow.
