Agent Deck cheat sheet
Firmware 0.6 for the M-VAVE FM-1. Every action goes to the selected agent unless a chord names another one. The deck needs its daemon running on the computer.
Colours and key LEDs
| Amber, blinking | BLOCKED: the agent is waiting on you |
| White, solid | WORKING |
| Green, solid 2 s | DONE: it just finished a turn |
| Red, fast blink | ERROR |
| Grey, dim glow | IDLE: waiting for input |
| Off | no agent on this key |
Answer an agent
| REC | approve the prompt |
| SAVE | approve and don't ask again (blinks when offered) |
| FX | deny (Esc) |
| ENV | interrupt (Ctrl-C) |
| SEL | Enter |
| K2 K3 | Up / Down, Left / Right |
| LFO | cycle the agent's mode (Shift+Tab) |
Start and prompt
| PLAY | start / continue; on an empty key, start a new agent there |
| PRESETS | arm a prompt preset (shown on the footer) |
