WebUI

The tbd 16 includes a built-in web interface for sound design, sample management, and preset organization. Any device on the same network — laptop, phone, or tablet — can open it in a browser.

Accessing the WebUI

  1. Connect the tbd 16 to WiFi (see Settings → WiFi) or to your computer via USB.
  2. Open a browser and navigate to the device address (shown on the WiFi settings screen).
  3. The main WebUI loads with tabs for Plugins, Data (File & Sample Manager), Presets (Preset & Macro Manager), and a link to the System Updater in the footer.
