Just got the Fingerpicking Nylon A-List Acoustic Guitarist, am i doing something wrong, because i only get chord at the top 3rd of my keyboard, the bass notes make no sound, and im not alone with this (issue) a Friend also bought this and is having same problem.
perhaps we are using it wrong, someone explain why i hear no sounds from the lower 2 thirds of my keyboard when playing the Fingerpicking Nylon A-List Acoustic Guitarist

The lower two octaves are for selecting the different style phrases available. You choose a chord by playing it on the top two octaves (and a half), and a style by playing one note in the first two. The middle octave is for selecting the bass note if it's different from the one in the chord, for instance if you want to play a C/G, you'll play a C on the top octave and a G on the middle one (if you play a C chord and select a C bass, there's no change, as the bass is already in the chord). It doesn't play a note on its own, it just alters the bass note of the chosen chord.

Try this: play a chord on the top two octaves (keep it pressed) and slowly play a C2, then C#2, then D2, etc. You'll notice the style changes. In the second octave, the higher the note, the busier the picking (up until A#, B being a stop). The first octave is great for pickups, bridges or endings. This allows for variations (which depend on the style chosen in the "Style" menu).

Besides, there are special keys: the C on the first octave stops the playing, but it can be restarted by choosing another style (on a guitar, the right hand stops playing but the left hand remains in place). The B on the second octave stops the playing, which cannot be restarted unless you play another chord (complete mute).

Hope this helps!

They made the manual a bit harder to find, but just in case:

Helpful, thanks! So, how did you find that one? I can't find any sort of list of such manuals on the site, and I've got lots of other stuff made by the Props with no obvious manual…?

Glad it helped! I went to the Fingerpicking shop page...
Scrolled down to find Product Website >
Followed the link to then find the link to the manual on the left lower side.

I definitely think that there should be a link to the manual on the shop page.
So, I guess rinse and repeat for all PH REs you have and are still missing manuals. :)

They really make you work to get the manuals but they're usually around the dev's site somewhere.
Sometimes not though, Mixfood Ambi is weird with a beard and all you get is the blurb on the Propshop page.
Still it's a great plug, great price

Love this thing, only bought it after someone pointed it out to me.
At first it was a bit hard to get around it, but I also found the manual afterwards on their website.
After some messing around with the manual at hand, it all became a bit clearer.

Still haven't gotten it completely under my thumb but it is one of my fav RE's tbh.

Cheers for that, I bought it and couldn't work out a bloody thing on it.

I was hoping to used "scales and chords" and a dual arp.

these devices are not meant to be used with arps. They have their own fingerings built into it.

They are in fact much like a more complex rex player.

Ah but! This one is a little different, as you can access individual notes through the cv/gate on the back, with some variations.
