Impulse chords are chords that are created on-the-fly, right there as you type. Through a series of quick presses and menus, you can add a new chord within 2-10 seconds.

Standard process for creating an impulse chord:

In short:

  1. CHORD INPUT

  2. CALL IMPULSE (i+DUP)

  3. CONFIRM INPUT (enter)

  4. TYPE OUTPUT

  5. CONFIRM OUTPUT (enter)

Explanation Detail

  1. Anywhere that you can see a cursor, chord the input you want (example: b+u+r+s+t). You will either see a jumble of letters (example: "tsubr") or you will see a chord which is already programmed to that input. If you continue, any conflicts will be overwritten

  2. Call the impulse command with either GTM >I<mpulse OR with the hard coded chord I+DUP (my personal preference). Your chord input from step 1 will automatically be displayed as an 18 digit number, with each number representing 1 of 10 possible states for each switch on your device. (example: >I<mpulse input: 300100000100100010) you can also change your input at this time by chording on your device, however I recommend registering your chord input before calling >I<mpulse as it will show you any conflicts

  3. Press enter to confirm your input

  4. Follow the prompt and type your output in character entry mode. (example:

>I<mpulse output: burst) 5. press enter to confirm your output (you will see a confirmation message similar to this:

>I<mpulse I/O == 300100000100100010/burst)
