The GUI (User interface):

To the left of the top-panel you have checkboxes for switching on/off the four modes:

• Key-mode: Select image using midi. All images/scores/notes have a number linked to a midi key (0-127, C3 – middle C is 64).
• Folder Change (ProgramChange in V1.0): Select patch using Midi-CC#. You can edit the desired CC#-number. A program is a collection of images and can hold it’s own settings.
• CC#-Mode: Step to next image (increase number by one) using the midi-controller of your choice. You can edit the desired controller after the CC#: by clicking on it and type in the number you want. Default is CC#64 (sustain pedal).
• Touch-Mode: You can switch picture by swypeing left or right on the picture. Needs some practicing.

The Image-lable shows the loaded image full path. You can klick it and open the image in your default program. The Patch-lable shows the loaded/selected patch full path, the patch-folder. You can click it to open the patch-folder in explorer. The Program-lable shows the patch/program number. You can klick on the number and type in the number you want to load. You can have 128 (0-127) diffrent patches. The Key-lable shows the number of the selected key, or pressed by midi. You can type in the number of the key/image you want to load. If the key/number has a corresponding image it will be loaded.To the right of the top-panel you have 4 style-slots for pen settings. When you enter edit-mode the first slot will be selected.

• Clear the image and insert new image from one of the eight image-templates or RTF-Tempales for RTF-mode. You can also import PDF-file using this button.
