Things to know

  • Different games, instruments, or custom game controls can require different profiles.
  • Key transposition changes pitch; it does not rewrite the game’s keyboard settings.
  • To add a note, enter its MIDI number (0–127) at the bottom, bind a physical key, click ADD, then SAVE PROFILE. Duplicate the profile on the main screen first if you want to keep the original.
