HELLO
Thank you for purchasing Metagrid - a flexible and powerful utility app that enables you to control
your favorite applications on your computer directly from your iPad through WiFi or USB on Mac or
PC. We hope it will find home in your creative environment!

We did our best to make Metagrid as intuitive and user friendly as possible. However, you will need a
few minutes to set it up and get familiar with its concepts and functions. To help you we have created
this manual and comprehensive video tutorials with step-by-step connection and operation instruc-
tions.

Before you start, let’s get familiar with some basic Metagrid terminology:
• Macro: a action or series of actions sent to your computer when you press a Metagrid button
to trigger specific commands in an application on your computer.
• View: the collection of buttons visible on the screen. The number of buttons depend on the
selected grid size for the view.
• Viewset: the collection of all views defined for a specific application on your computer.
• Navigation Bar: the upper section of the screen with various buttons and indicators.
Now, it is time you let Metagrid streamline your workflow! If you have some problems, questions,
feedback or feature requests, don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected]. You can also join
our user forum where you will find useful tips, support info and custom buttons, views and viewsets
created by the Metasystem team and Metagrid user community.

-3- Metagrid 1.7 User Guide

 FIRST STEPS
We all love things that are straightforward and familiar. You will find out that Metagrid is a straight-
forward, easy-to-use tool with an intuitive user interface. The basic setup is minimal and includes just
a few easy steps:

METAGRID PURCHASE
1 If you haven’t already done it, purchase it from the App Store.

2 METASERVER INSTALLATION
Metagrid needs Metaserver - a small server application - to be installed on your computer to receive
and process keyboard shortcuts and MIDI messages.
1. Go to www.metasystem.io > Downloads and download Metaserver app for Windows or Mac.
2. Copy Metaserver.app/exe to the Applications (Mac)/Program Files folder (PC).
3. Launch Metaserver. You will see icon on the menu bar (Mac)/task bar (PC).
OSX 10.14 and later: you will need to give Metaserver permissions to control your computer. Go to
! System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Accessibility > Privacy and select the checkbox next to
the Metaserver icon.

On some Windows machines you may be asked to install .NET Framework 3.5 to run Metaserver. Pro-
! ceed with the installation.

Some antivirus software may identify Metaserver as a threat. Simply ignore the warning. Sometimes
! antivirus/antimalware software can add Metaserver to the black list and make Metaserver unable to
communicate with Metagrid. Remove Metaserver from the black list to enable Metagrid detect Meta-
server on your Win computer.

-4- Metagrid 1.7 User Guide

 WIFI NETWORK/USB SETUP ON YOUR COMPUTER/iPAD
3 Metaserver needs an active WiFi or USB connection to establish communication between Metagrid on
your iPad and your computer. You can use your local WiFi network or create an ad-hoc WiFi connec-
tion.

! Your computer and your iPad have to be connected to the same WiFi network.

! To connect your iPad to computer though USB connection, just use the Lightning to USB cable. No ad-
ditional setup is needed on Mac. For Windows you need to install Apple iTunes on your machine.

METAGRID SETUP
4
The setup in Metagrid app on your iPad is minimal:
1. Open Metagrid on your iPad.
2. You will see Available Computers screen where you can select a computer with an active
Metaserver instance. If you can’t see any computers, make sure both your computer and your
iPad are connected to the same WiFi network or is connected with the Lightning to USB cable
and swipe down to refresh the computer list.
3. If your computer is still unavailable, tap Add computer... and choose either Manual Setup or
Scan QR Code. Go to Metaserver > Setup... > Network to display the IP addresses for your
computer and the QR code with encoded network information. Enter one of the IP addresses
or scan the QR code. The computer will be added to the list of available computers.
4. Select your computer. Metagrid will display its main screen. In the middle of the navigation bar
you will see the icon of the application that is currently in focus on your computer.

-5- Metagrid 1.7 User Guide

 If you see a blank screen, it means that there aren’t any predefined views for the application that is
! currently in focus on your computer. The default “empty” view has all buttons hidden - to display a
button double tap the button preview in the Button Editor or toggle the Hide/Show option in the
Button Editor.

Congratulations! Metagrid on your iPad is now able to send keyboard shortcuts and text to your com-
puter.

i To disconnect, tap the application icon in the center of the Navigation Screen and touch Disconnect.
The Connection screen will appear.

Metaserver can simultaneously connect to up to 4 iPads running Metagrid, which means you can con-
trol you computer from multiple iPads! No additional setup is needed - just connect your additional
iPads per instructions above.

i Metagrid also automatically reconnects to the last known host on WiFi/USB - it remembers the name
of the last connected computer and automatically reconnects on launch or after disconnection.

ADDITIONAL SETUP OPTIONS

Metagrid is much more than just keyboard shortcuts and text actions. If you want to send MIDI com-
mands and/or app-specific commands to DAW applications, you need to do some additional setup in
your DAW application. For easy step-by-step procedures, see DAW & MIDI Setup Guide that can be
downloaded from here.

-7- Metagrid 1.7 User Guide
 After you have established the connection with your computer, you will see Metagrid’s Main Screen,
which consists of:

Scene Bar
Scene Bar enables to you switch between scenes created for the given application, which in turn dis-
1 plays the view assigned to this scene. For more information on scenes see “SCENE EDITOR” on page
15.

SHIFT buttons
2 Shift Buttons enable you to switch between the primary and secondary view assigned to the current
scene. Both buttons have the same functionality.

OmniSpace button
3 Metagrid now offers a dedicated viewset that doesn’t react to changing app in focus on your comput-
er and can be displayed regardless of the application that is currently in focus on your computer. To
access the OmniSpace viewset, press the OmniSpace button (the second button on the left on the
Scene Bar). OmniSpace is a useful tool to create a universal workspace for system-wide commands
like app switching, opening files or commands that you want to have available in all applications.

Current view
4 The current view depends on scene selection, SHIFT buttons state, OmniSpace button space, and
Back button state on the Navigation bar

-8- Metagrid 1.7 User Guide

 Navigation Bar
The Navigation button features the following items:
• The icon and name of the application that is currently in focus on your computer. Tap it to dis-
play the dialog that enables you to disconnect from the connected computer. Double tap it to
lock turn on/off the Application Lock functionality.
• The Back button with the name of the previous view displayed in the upper left corner of the
screen. It appears when you have displayed a view assigned to a grid button. Press the Back
button to return to the previous view.
• The Edit button that switches Metagrid into the Edit Mode.

i Metagrid reacts to changing the application in focus on your computer and displays the viewset cre-
ated for this application. The Application Lock functionality enables you to prevent Metagrid from
changing the viewsets when you change the application in focus on your computer and control this
application even if it is in the background! You can also enable this functionality by swiping down with
two fingers on the button grid.

 When you enter the Edit Mode, you will see the buttons wobbling gently and you can access to the
following functions:

Scene Editor

To access the Scene Editor press the Edit Scenes... button on the Scene Bar. For more information
on scenes see “SCENE EDITOR” on page 15.

2 View Editor
The View Editor button displays the View Editor that enables you to select and edit views.

Selective Paste Drawer

3 While creating your viewsets, you will often need to create buttons that share some parameters like
a color, CC value or an assigned view. Doing this manually for each button would take some time and
effort. Fortunately, Metagrid enbles you to copy the parameters from one button and use selective
pasting functionality to paste only selected parameters by double-finger swipe across the button
or series of buttons. The parameters for selective pasting can be defined in the Selective Paste
Drawer.

To display the drawer, left edge swipe on your iPad screen with the Edit Mode enabled. You can se-
lect the following parameters for selective pasting: Assigned View, Macro, Repeat Action, Text, Col-
or, Icon. When you enable the Macro switch you will see two additional parameters: MIDI Param-
eter + and MIDI Value +. Turning MIDI Parameter + on enables you to increment MIDI parameter,
(for example MIDI CC parameter) for each button covered by your swipe gesture, while MIDI Value +
enables you to increment MIDI parameter value (e.g. velocity) for each button covered by your swipe
gesture.

4 Undo/Redo
Undo/Redo functionality for grid actions like rearranging, selective pasting and button swapping.

-11- Metagrid 1.7 User Guide

• Long pressing a button with one finger and dragging it across the grid.
• Swapping two buttons. To swap buttons, swipe down on a button with one finger
Two swap two buttons:
1. Swipe down on the button with one finger. You will see the tip informing you that the button
is ready for swapping - all other buttons will stop wobbling.
2. Tap another button. The buttons will swap their position on the grid. You will see the corre-
sponding tip and all buttons will start wobbling again.

Editing buttons
To edit a button, tap the button in the Edit Mode. The Button Editor will appear, where you will be
able to assign button parameters.

-12- Metagrid 1.7 User Guide

VIEW EDITOR

-13- Metagrid 1.7 User Guide

 Views in Metagrid are simply speaking sets of buttons displayed on the screen. A view can have from
6 up to 110 buttons depending on the selected grid size. Metagrid creates a default view for each ap-
plication on your computer - the Default view is created when Metagrid “sees” an application on your
computer for the first time. You can then modify the grid size and rename it. And you can create ad-
ditional views for the given application on your computer.

To select a view in the View Editor:

1. Press Edit in the upper right corner of the Main screen.
2. Tap View Editor in the top left corner to open the View Editor.
3. Select the view from the list of the available views to display its preview.
4. Tap Close to close the View Editor. Now you can edit individual buttons in this view.
When you exit the Edit Mode, Metagrid will display the view that is currently assigned as a prima-
i ry/secondary view to the current scene so the view you have edited in the Edit mode may suddenly
disappear. To display it, select the scene to which it is assigned or tap the button which displays this
view. For more information on scenes and buttons, see “SCENE EDITOR” on page 15 and “BUTTON
EDITOR” on page 18.

To create a new view:

1. Tap Edit > View Editor.
2. Tap the New button in the top right corner of the View Editor.
The new view is created as the 6 x 5 grid with “empty” buttons. The grid can be resized by tapping
Grid Size in the View Editor. You can also rename the view and add a description.
! All the buttons in the Default views are set as hidden and they will not be visible when you exit the
Edit Mode. To show a button, toggle the Show/Hide switch in the Button Editor or double tap the
button preview in the Button Editor or double tap the button on the grid in the Edit Mode.

The View Editor enables you to copy/paste/duplicate/delete/import/export your views using the
buttons in the top section of the screen.
-14- Metagrid 1.7 User Guide
SCENE EDITOR

-15- Metagrid 1.7 User Guide

Scenes in Metagrid enable you to easily switch between different views created for your favorite ap-
plication. Each scene corresponds to a dedicated button on the Scene Bar in the lower part of the
Main Screen. Each scene can have two views assigned - Primary View and Secondary View. You
can switch between them by pressing SHIFT button. For each application you can create multiple
scenes for neat organization and fast access.

Editing a scene
To edit a scene:
1. Touch Edit and tap Edit Scenes... on the Scene Bar (it is the last item on the list so you may
need to scroll left to display it). The Scene Editor will appear featuring the list of the available
scenes for the current viewset.
2. Touch a scene and then change its name, icon, color and assigned views.

Deleting/duplicating/creating a scene
Touch one of the corresponding buttons in the top section of the Scene Editor.

Reordering scenes
Long touch one of the scenes in the left section of the Scene Editor and drag it to the new position.

Undo/redo
You can undo/redo your actions like changing order, deletion and changing parameters by pressing
Undo/Redo buttons.

Primary/secondary views
Each scene can have two views assigned. You can switch between primary and secondary view using
SHIFT buttons.

-16- Metagrid 1.7 User Guide

View locking
By default, touching a scene button will display the corresponding assigned view. However, views
can also be displayed by buttons on the grid (see “BUTTON EDITOR” on page 18). For example, you
have created a view named Tools and assigned it to a scene called My Tools. The Tools view contains
a button called Zoom that does not send any message to the application running your computer
but displays another view called Zoom Menu. Pressing the Zoom button will display the Zoom Menu
view. But when you go to another scene and go back to the My Tools scene, the Zoom Menu view will
be replaced with the view assigned to this scene - namely, Tools. There may be situations where you
would like to keep the Zoom Menu view visible. And then Metagrid enables you to temporarily lock a
view, which means that every time you tap the scene, it will display the locked view instead of the as-
signed primary/secondary view.

To lock a view:
1. Display the view you want to lock.
2. Long touch the scene button. The lock icon will appear, which means that now this scene but-
ton is temporarily assigned to a subview. This subview will appear instead of the default as-
signed view when you press the scene button again.
3. To unlock the scene, long touch the scene button again. The lock icon will disappear, which
means that the scene button will now display the default assigned view.

Hiding the Scene Bar

You can easily hide/show the Scene Bar by swiping down and up with one finger on the button grid.
With the Scene Bar hidden, you can temporarily show the scene bar in the middle of the screen by
swiping up with three fingers - the Scene Bar will disappear when after scene selection or after tap-
ping outside the Scene Bar. When the viewsets contains more than one scene and the Scene Bar
is hidden, you will see the page indicator (dots) under the button grid that reflects the number of
available scenes and the current selection. For the complete list of useful gestures, see “USEFUL GES-
TURES” on page 29.
