NEBULAE ALTERNATE INSTRUMENTS
CREATED BY THE COMMUNITY, FOR THE COMMUNITY
How To Install Alternate Instruments
Download and unzip the desired alternate instrument for your Nebulae below.
Place USB drive into your computer, and add either the .instr file or the .pd file to the drive.
Eject the USB drive and replace it in your Nebulae. Hold File and press Source to reload your USB contents onto Nebulae. Your instrument is now installed and accessible on Nebulae.
How To Access Alternate Instruments
Hold down the Speed Encoder for 3 seconds, until the Speed LEDs turn green. You are now in the alternate instrument menu.
To access .instr files, turn the Speed encoder CCW until only the negative LED is lit. To access .pd files, turn the Speed encoder CW until only the positive LED is lit. Factory instruments are accessible when Speed is at center position, with both LEDs lit.
Once on the desired file menu, select your instrument by pressing one of the LED buttons on the bottom of your Nebulae. The file order is alphabetical on your USB drive.
To load the selected instrument, hold down the Speed encoder until the loading LED animation begins. Your instrument will now load and be usable. If you want to cancel your instrument selection, press the Pitch encoder to discard any changes and return to your current instrument.
