Switch between modes by adjusting the Rotary switch. Here’s how to use each mode:
Position 0: The device is OFF
Position 1: Album Mode
Toggle switch off: Listen to the album as the composers intended.
Toggle switch on: Customize playback using Pots 1-4 for effects like Pitch Tremolo, Chorus, Distortion, and Reverb. Transform Nyfida into a synthesizer and compositional tool.
Position 2: Live Mode
Toggle switch off: Experience live playback with endless unique executions of the four tracks.
Toggle switch on: Interact with live execution using Pots 1-4 for effects like Pitch Tremolo, Chorus, Distortion, and Reverb.
Position 3: Deepen Mode
Toggle switch off: Immerse yourself in unique soundscapes using the endless variations of album tracks as a source.
Toggle switch on: Interact with the soundscapes using Pots 1-4 for effects like Detune, Speed, Distortion, and Reverb.
Switch between tracks using the button (LED blinks once) and adjust volume with the dedicated Volume Pot.
Advanced feature: Looper
Engage the looper in Rotary positions 1-3 with Toggle on by holding down the button for a loop size of up to 10 minutes. The looper supports multiple overdubs (adding new loops over existing ones).
Double-tap to clear the looper (LED blinks twice) when the Toggle switch is on in any Rotary position.
Return to Rotary position 0 (with Toggle on) to listen the loop on its own and adjust its characteristics using Pots 1-4, featuring effects like Pitch Tremolo, Chorus, Distortion, and Reverb. In this mode press the button once to play the loop in reverse. Switch Toggle off to silence Nyfida."
