Everything bound, in one place. ? in the app shows the
same map without leaving it.
An Ableton-style layout across the bottom two rows:
black: w e t y u o p
white: a s d f g h j k l ; '
a w s e d f t g y h u j k o l p ; ' Play notes
z / x Octave down / up
Note letters only reach the synth when focus is not in a control, so typing in
a name field does not play a melody. This is also why the bank's save key is
m rather than s .
