Launch Mode decides what pressing and releasing a Clip's trigger does. It is set per Clip, and it is the difference between a pad that fires a Clip, a pad that switches it on and off, and a pad that plays it only while you hold it down.

Lyrics puts a chord and lyric sheet on its own screen, facing the stage, while Visibox drives the visuals out front. Paste the chart you already have, pick a size you can read from where you stand, and Visibox follows the Song as you play it.

This page is organized by symptom. Find what is going wrong and work down its list, cheapest fix first.

You arrive at the venue, you have twenty minutes, and the projector belongs to someone else. This page is the show-day routine: get the picture on the screen, get it aimed and focused, and check the things that fail quietly.

Normally Visibox plays one Clip at a time: start a Clip and whatever was playing stops. Polyoptic playback lifts that limit. Set a Song's Poly Mode and several of its Clips can hold the stage together, the way several notes held down on a keyboard sound together.

Most of what Visibox does is on or off. You press a pad and a Clip plays. Real-Time Control is the other half: a knob you turn, a fader you ride, a value that moves while the Clip is on screen. Fade a logo up over eight bars. Ride a blur through the breakdown. Scrub a Clip's playhead by hand.
