HOW IT WORKS
MT-1 allows playing in four modes. Each of these makes different modification of input notes you play on MIDI controller
SNAP LEFT
If played note does not belong to the programmed scale (orange key) then MT-1 will find closest note on the left and play it instead.
SNAP RIGHT
If played note does not belong to the programmed scale (orange key) then MT-1 will find closest note on the right and play it instead.
FILTER
Filter mode mutes notes that are not in the programmed scale
BYPASS
Additional mode which quickly disables any processing of input notes. It's like if you directly connected MIDI controller to synthesizer.
