QuNeo is a 3D multi-touch pad controller. QuNeo is a different species of pad controller for electronic
musicians, DJs, VJs and DIY hackers. While it covers all of the functionality of other pad controllers, QuNeo
adds the power of touch recognition in multiple dimensions.
Each of the 27 pads, sliders, and rotary sensors are pressure, velocity, and location sensitive. The 17 buttons
also respond to pressure and velocity. The 16 square pads provide 128 levels of velocity response, X-Y
location, and continuous pressure for each pad. Each rotary sensor measures direction, pressure and location.
In this manual you will nd detailed information to help answer all of your questions about QuNeo hardware

QuNeo
ChapTer 1 - QuNeo hardWare
QuNeo is a class compliant USB device that does not require a driver or software to function. This chapter
is a guide to connecting your QuNeo to hardware or software, and an overview of the QuNeo’s buttons and
control sources.
1.1 CoNNeCTiNG The QuNeo
Connecting QuNeo to a computer:
To connect QuNeo to a computer, use the included USB cable to connect the QuNeo USB port to a
computer USB port. QuNeo will receive power from the computer.
Connecting QuNeo to an iPad:
To connect QuNeo to an iPad, you will need the iPad Camera Connection Kit (sold by Apple). Attach the
camera connector to the iPad and then use a USB cable to connect the QuNeo USB port to the camera
connector. It is recommended that you supply power to the QuNeo and iPad by either plugging the
Camera Connection Kit to a power supply, or by using a KMI USB Y-cable.
Connecting QuNeo to MIDI hardware with MIDI Expander:
To connect QuNeo to a hardware MIDI device via our MIDI Expander (sold separately):
1. Use a USB A-to-Mini cable to connect the QuNeo to the USB “Expand” port on the MIDI Expander.
2. Connect the MIDI Out on the Expander to the MIDI In on a synth or other MIDI device.
3. Connect the power supply to the MIDI Expander USB “Power” port.
For more information about Using the QuNeo with the MIDI Expander, please refer to this next section:
1.2 kMi Midi expaNder
The KMI MIDI Expander is an optional accessory which enables use of QuNeo with hardware MIDI devices.
Plug MIDI devices into the MIDI Out port and QuNeo will send MIDI data through a regular 5 pin MIDI
cable.
Connecting QuNeo to MIDI hardware with MIDI Expander:
To use QuNeo with the KMI MIDI Expander follow these steps:
1. Connect a QuNeo to the KMI MIDI Expander (see Connecting QuNeo for instructions).

indicating that you have successfully put QuNeo into MIDI Expander mode.
3. Plug MIDI devices into the MIDI Expander. The QuNeo will now send MIDI messages through the MIDI
Expander.
Note: It is necessary to put QuNeo into MIDI Expander mode every time it is connected to a MIDI Expander.
1.3 uNdersTaNdiNG The QuNeo
There are many useful types of sensors that can be found on the QuNeo. Each QuNeo button can send out
multiple sources at once for several different MIDI messages at the same time.
QuNeo buTToN Types
Pads - Pads work differently depending on whether they are in Drum Mode or Grid Mode. They can
also be set up to have banks.
• In Drum Mode, Pad sources include Note, Pressure, X-Axis, and Y-Axis.
• In Grid Mode, Note and Pressure sources are available in the corner of each pad (if enabled
within the given preset). X-axis, Y-axis and Location are not available in Grid Mode.
Horizontal and Vertical Sliders - Horizontal and Vertical Sliders use Note, Pressure, and Location
sources. They can also be set up to have banks.
Long Slider - The Long Slider uses Note, Pressure, Location, and Width sources. The Long Slider can
also be set up to have banks.
Rotaries - Rotaries use Note, Pressure, Location, and Direction. Location and Direction may not be
enabled simultaneously. The Rotaries can also be set up to have banks. See the Banks chapter for
more information.
Transport Buttons - There are 3 buttons intended for transport control: the diamond button for record,
the square button for stop, and the triangle for play. Transport Buttons use Note and Pressure.
Left/Right and Up/Down Buttons - While bank switching is disabled, Left/Right and Up/Down Buttons
use Note and Pressure sources. The Left/Right and Up/Down arrow buttons can be used either as bank
switches, or as programmable MIDI buttons.
Rhombus Button - While bank switching is disabled, the Rhombus button uses Note and Pressure.
The Rhombus button can be used either as a bank switch, or a programmable MIDI button.
sourCe defiNiTioNs
Note - Tapping on the sensor causes 1 note to output along with a velocity value relative to how hard it
is hit. Velocity sensitivity can be turned off if unwanted.
Pressure - Pressing on the sensor will cause the pressure CC# value to output from low to high (soft to
hard).
X-Axis (Pads only) - Moving a nger from side to side across the surface of a pad will cause the X-Axis
CC# value to output from low to high (left to right).
Y-Axis (Pads only) - Moving a nger up and down across the surface of a pad will cause the Y-Axis CC#
value to output going from low to high (bottom to top).

QuNeo hardWare

QuNeo
Tip: It is possible to set the X and Y Axis to either latch where you left it or return to a value. When an X or Y Return value
is set the X or Y Axis CC values will always go back to that number when the pad is released. The Factory Preset Guides
provide details about which presets have x or y set to latch and which use a return value.
Location (Pads only) - Pressing down and moving a nger along a slider or rotary will cause the
location CC# value to output going from low to high (left to right or bottom to top).
Tip: The Location source on the Rotaries use a variation of Pass Thru Mode. “Pass Thru Mode” is normally when MIDI
will not be sent until you pass through the value the rotary was left at. Our Pass Thru Width parameter sets a range of
pass through values. Example: If Pass Thru Width is set to 10 and the slider was left at 40, you would have to press
somewhere between 30 and 50 to output location data. If it set to 127, you can hit anywhere on the slider or rotary. The
Factory Preset Guides detail what the Pass Thru Width is for each preset.
Width (Long Slider Only) - Pressing with two ngers on the Long Slider sends a width CC# value that
represents the distance between the two ngers. The wider the gap between ngers, the higher the
value. When the second nger leaves the slider, the width will not change again until the second nger
returns to the slider.
Direction - Moving a nger around a rotary will cause the direction CC# value to output. If nger
movement is clockwise, the CC# will repetitively send out a 1. If nger movement is counterclockwise,
the CC# will repetitively send out a 127. The faster a nger is moved, the faster the repeated value will
output.
baNks
Banks can be used for the Pad Notes, Sliders, and Rotaries. If banks are enabled for the Sliders or
Rotaries, a different note, pressure CC#, or location CC# can be assigned for each bank so that each
slider or rotary can control 4 different things. These banks can be selected using the Left/Right Buttons,
the Up/Down Buttons, or the Rhombus Button.
Pads can be set to different notes per bank. This is accomplished by setting transposition intervals for
the notes in each bank. The Pad banks will not affect the CCs of the other sources (X, Y, Pressure, etc.).
The note banks can be selected using either the Up/Down Buttons or the Rhombus Button.
Left/Right arrow buttons control their neighboring Horizontal Slider banks. The images below show
how the Left/Right Button LEDs indicate which bank the Horizontal Sliders are in:
When the Vertical Slider banks are used, the banks are controlled using the nearest Up/Down Button
pair. The Long Slider banks are controlled using the Up/Down Button pair on the right side of the Long
Slider. The images below show how the Up/Down Button LEDs indicate which bank is active:

QuNeo hardWare
10
QuNeo
In our presets, when the Rotary banks are used, the banks are controlled using the Rhombus Button. The
images below show how the Rhombus Button LEDs indicate which bank is active:
Using the QuNeo Editor, the bank controls for the Pad notes, Vertical Sliders, the Long Slider, and the
Rotaries can be chosen. Both Up/Down Button Pairs and the Rhombus Button can be assigned to one of
these sensors if editing presets in the Editor. See the QuNeo Editor chapter for more information about
editing presets.
1.4 The Mode buTToN
The Mode button is a small circular button in the upper left corner of the QuNeo. Use the Mode button to
select presets and enter CoMA mode (the Controller Mapping Assistant).
seleCTiNG preseTs
When QuNeo is plugged in it will automatically load the last preset used.
The QuNeo pads are numbered 1-16, starting with the bottom left-most pad.
Follow these steps to select a preset:
1. Tap the Mode button to enter Preset Selection mode. The Mode button
will ash blue and the pad for the current preset will be illuminated red.
2. Press a pad to load the corresponding preset. The selected pad will
briey blink green and QuNeo will exit Preset mode.
Tapping the Mode button again without selecting a preset will exit Preset
Selection mode.
eNTeriNG CoMa Mode
Putting your QuNeo in “CoMA Mode” is helpful when you want to map QuNeo control sources to software
with auto MIDI mapping.
To enter CoMA Mode, hold down on the Mode Button for 1 second until all the LEDs ash.
1.5 CoMa Mode (CoNTroller MappiNG assisTaNT)
Many DAWs and performance software tools, like Ableton Live and Apple Logic, have MIDI Mapping
modes assist in mapping MIDI Notes and CCs to software destinations. Since the QuNeo can have
multiple data sources for one control, it is helpful to use the Controller Mapping Assistant (CoMA). CoMA
mode allows for quick mapping of a pad’s multiple data sources by sending them one at a time, so as not
to overload and confuse the software MIDI map function.
MappiNG pads iN CoMa Mode
Mapping pads is different depending on if the pad in Drum Mode or Grid Mode.

QuNeo hardWare
11
QuNeo
In Drum Mode, each corner outputs a different data source. Pressing the NW (North-West) corner
outputs the Note, the NE corner outputs the Pressure CC#, the SW corner outputs the X-Axis CC#, and
the SE corner outputs the Y-Axis CC#
In Grid Mode, each corner outputs a Note and Pressure CC#. Quickly tap the
corner to output the Note message. Press and hold for 1 second to output the
Pressure CC#.
MappiNG sliders iN CoMa Mode
To output the Note, quickly tap the slider.
To output the Pressure CC#, press and hold the slider for 1 second.
To output the Location CC#, press and drag a nger along the slider.
To output the Width CC# for the Long Slider, press and hold the slider down with 2 ngers.
MappiNG roTaries iN CoMa Mode
To output the Note, press the rotary in the upper left sector (8:00-12:00).
To output the Pressure CC#, press the rotary in the upper right sector (12:00-4:00).
To output the Location or Direction CC#, press the rotary in the bottom sector (4:00-8:00).
MappiNG buTToNs iN CoMa Mode
To output the Note, quickly tap the button.
To output the Pressure CC#, press and hold the button for 1 second.
If buttons are assigned to bank switching they will not output their own data in CoMA mode, but instead
control the banks for the Sliders or Rotaries they are assigned to. Use the bank buttons to shift through
banks, and then map the MIDI data for each of the Slider or Rotary banks.
1.6 led behavior
QuNeo’s LEDs provide a great way to visualize interactions with the QuNeo. Local or Remote control is
available. Local LED Control means the action on sensors will determine the LED behavior, while remote
LED Control means note or CC data sent to the QuNeo will determine LED behavior. Local and Remote
control can be used simultaneously.
loCal led CoNTrol
Without sending LED messages to the QuNeo from another application or device, the QuNeo’s LEDs
will automatically respond to touch. Local LED Control is the QuNeo’s built-in LED behavior and will
override any currently incoming Remote messages. Local LED control can be disabled in the editor.
reMoTe led CoNTrol
QuNeo can be sent MIDI messages to control LED behavior. When the QuNeo receives the proper MIDI
data for a pad, slider, button or rotary, the LEDs will respond accordingly. If you press a sensor, Local

QuNeo hardWare
12
QuNeo
LED control will temporarily override the Remote LED Control for as long as the sensor is engaged.
The Sensors respond to incoming MIDI data in the following ways:
Pad LEDs
• In Drum Mode, pads will respond to MIDI notes sent on Channel 1* to engage the red and
green LEDs. A note sent with velocity greated than 0 will turn the LED on, and the velocity
of the note will determine the brightness. Refer to the MIDI Input diagram to look up which
MIDI Notes correspond to which pads.
• In Grid Mode, each corner of every pad can light up individually. The LEDs behave in 2
different ways, depending on which MIDI Channel the note message is sent on.
• Using MIDI Channel 2*, the corner of each pad receives a MIDI note for the green
LED and another MIDI note for the red LED. The velocity of the note determines the
brightness.
• Using MIDI Channel 3*, the corner of each pad receives one MIDI message to engage
the LEDs. The velocity of the note crossfades the LEDs from green to red.
*Note: These are the Default Channels for remotely controlling the LEDs, the channels can be changed in the Editor.
Horizontal and Vertical Slider LEDs - Each slider can receive a CC# value on Channel 1 for LED
location. The slider will ll in from the left (for Horizontal) or bottom (for Vertical). This works great for VU
metering! Refer to the MIDI Input diagram to look up which CC# corresponds to which slider.
Long Slider LEDs - LEDs will light up at a point determined by the value sent to CC# 5 on Channel 1.
Rotary LEDs - Each rotary can receive a CC# value on Channel 1 for LED location. The rotary LED will
light up in a clockwise motion starting at the bottom. Refer to the MIDI Input diagram to look up which
CC# corresponds to which rotary.
Transport Button LEDs - Each Transport button can receive a MIDI note on Channel 1 to control its LED.
A note sent with velocity greater than 0 will turn the LED on, and the velocity of the note will determine
the brightness. Refer to the MIDI Input diagram to look up which MIDI Note corresponds to which
button.
Up/Down and Left/Right Button LEDs - When Bank Switching is off, each arrow button will respond
to a MIDI note message. A note sent with velocity greated than 0 will turn the LED on, and the velocity
of the note will determine the brightness. Refer to the MIDI Input diagram to look up which MIDI Note
corresponds to which button.
Rhombus Button LEDs - When Bank Switching is off, the Rhombus button will respond to MIDI Note A1
to engage the green LED and MIDI Note G#1 to engage the red LED. A note sent with velocity greated
than 0 will turn the LED on, and the velocity of the note will determine the brightness.
NOTE: When Bank Switching is enabled, the Up/Down, Left/Right, and Rhombus button LEDs will NOT respond to
remote messages.

2.8 proGraMMiNG The QuNeo
Selecting a sensor on the QuNeo image will open an edit panel in the box to the right. Each edit panel has three
different tabs with options to customize your QuNeo curface: “BASIC”, “ADVANCED” and “LEDS”.
When editing a parameter in the edit pane, the parameter will be displayed on the QuNeo image. The
corresponding parameters of the other sensors are also displayed on the QuNeo image.
To edit multiple sensors simultaneously, hold shift and select the sensors you wish to edit. You can only do this
with sensors of the same type. For Example: If a Pad is selected you can shift-click another pad to edit them
together (you cannot shift-click to edit a Pad with a Horizontal Slider or Rotary).
ediTiNG pads
pads - basiC Tab
At the top of the Basic Tab is a number box for selecting a MIDI
Channel for the pad.
There is a tab for Drum Mode and another for Grid Mode. Check
the box in the Grid Mode tab to engage Grid Mode for the selected
pad(s).
In Drum Mode, the editable Pad parameters include Note, Pressure
CC#, X-Axis position CC#, Y-Axis position CC#, and X- and Y- Return
values.
In Grid Mode, the editable pad sources include a Note and Pressure
CC# for each corner, for up to 4 notes or pressure sources per pad.
Each sensor has a corresponding drop down menu to select “Normal”
or “Toggle” behavior. “Normal” sensors will engage while pushed
(momentary). Sensors set to “Toggle” will alternate on and off with
each push.

QuNeo ediTor
19
QuNeo
To the right of the toggle menu are number boxes for setting
Velocity and Pressure values. By default these boxes are set to
“var” for “Variable Velocity” and “con” for “Continuous Pressure”. In
default mode the sensor will send out a Velocity value related to how
hard the pad was struck, and a continuous CC# value corresponding
to the pressure exerted on the sensor. Setting a numerical value in
the number box will override the default behavior and output just
that value.
The Global Sensitivity dial adjusts the sensitivity of the sensors. The
higher the sensitivity, the easier it is to get pressure and velocity in
the higher value ranges. The lower the sensitivity, the more difcult
(or impossible) it will be to get the pressure and velocity to the higher
value ranges. The Sensitivity dial is global for all controls of that
sensor type. For example, if you adjust the global sensitivity of one
Pad you are adjusting the sensitivity of all Pads, however it will not
affect the sensitivity of the sliders.
pads - advaNCed Tab
There are 4 banks available for the Notes of each Pad. The Bank
Transpose Offset number boxes set a value to transposition each of
the 4 banks.
Note: Changing Pad Banks will not affect the CCs of the other Pad sources (X-axis,
Y-axis, Pressure, etc.)
The Corner Isolation parameter adjusts how sensitive the other
corners of a Pad are when one of the corners is in use. The Corner
Isolation value is global for all Pads, and applies only when the Pad
is in Grid Mode. This is useful in preventing accidental triggers.
The higher the corner isolation value, the greater the isolation is
between corners.
The Pad Sensitivity Adjust parameter overrides the Global
Sensitivity Adjustment of the selected Pad for greater control of
individual Pads. The higher the sensitivity, the easier it is to get
pressure and velocity in the higher value ranges. The lower the
sensitivity, the more difcult (or impossible) it will be to get the
pressure and velocity to the higher value ranges.
The On Thresh sets the pressure value at which a Note On message
is sent. Example: If set to 10, the Pad pressure has to reach a value
of 10 before a note on is sent. This is global for all Pads.
The Off Thresh sets the pressure value at which a Note Off message
is sent. Example: If set to 5, the Pad pressure would have to be 5
or lower for a Note Off to register. This cannot be set higher than the On Threshold. This is global for all
Pads.

QuNeo ediTor
20
QuNeo
The Velocity Table drop down menu lets you select a lookup table to shape the Velocity output of the
Pads. There are 6 different velocity tables, and they are applied globally. They are:
• Dynamic - This table is good for getting varied velocity values with very little change in pressure.
• Full - This table outputs a value of 127 for any degree of pressure.
• Hard - This table expands the lower range and makes it more difcult to hit the higher velocity
values.
• Medium - This table gives the most precision in the 0-100
velocity range. As long as the sensitivities aren’t set low,
hitting the Pads at Medium strength will give you access to
the higher velocity values.
• Light - This table emphasizes the mid range. Light taps
