Grid Mode Basics

Sound sets in Farrago can be used in two distinct ways: Grid mode or List mode. A set’s mode can be changed from the Sound Set menu, as well as with the Grid/List mode toggle in the bottom toolbar.

This page provides a brief overview look of Grid mode.

Grid mode is best for non-linear playback, where you don’t know exactly what sounds you’ll want ahead of time. Tiles correspond directly to your keyboard, with shortcuts assigned to each tile automatically. Playback is thus as straightforward as pressing the relevant key on your keyboard.

A set in Grid mode displays up to 80 tiles, in up to 8 rows containing up to 10 columns. Tile widths are automatically resized for visibility. Each tile face displays information about the tile, including its title and optional emoji, a waveform visualization of the sound it will play, length and playback information, as well as the tile’s keyboard shortcut.
