All of the modules can connect to either a virtual grid or a real hardware grid controller. ([Serialosc](https://monome.org/docs/setup/) is required to use real hardware, but no drivers are required for the virtual grids.)

* Right-click the `white whale` module and select your virtual grid from the list of devices. It should light up.
* If you have a hardware grid connected, right-click the module and select your hardware grid from the list. The virtual grid should go dark and your physical grid should light up.

You can use either a physical or virtual grid to take advantage of the grid operators or Grid Control Mode. Hardware versions of Teletype can't use both the grid and the keyboard at the same time, and there are [some precautions to follow](https://monome.org/docs/grid/grid-modular/#teletype) regarding power loads, but thankfully the software version has none of these restrictions, making it an excellent environment for developing complex grid scenes that you can later transfer to hardware.

# Alternate firmware

Choose **Firmware Tools > Switch Firmware** to see alternate firmware options for Teletype.

Currently there are firmware builds for the teletype 4.0 and 5.0-beta release streams. 4.0 is the default; at some point after 5.0 is out of beta, it will become the default for newly placed modules, but modules already placed in your patch will remain 4.0.

Switching firmware will reset the VRAM and NVRAM for the module, so export any scenes you want to keep before to text files before switching firmware editions.

- Hold *ALT* on the grid and enter the **CV B** region on grid -- this will show put **CV B** into a [Scale Map](https://monome.org/docs/whitewhale/#cv-map), which quantizes **CV B**'s output to a musical note range.

White Whale offers the standard firmware plus the Kria alternate firmware, an early form of the Kria sequencer mode in Ansible. [Read about the original version of Kria here](https://llllllll.co/t/kria-0-3-initial-release/2409).
