* ''Bowing jack'' - the assembly that holds the bowing motor and [[The Ekdahl FAR - Getting started#bowing wheel|bowing wheel]], this can be tilted up and down applying different [[The Ekdahl FAR - Getting started#pressure|pressure]] of the [[The Ekdahl FAR - Getting started#bowing wheel|bowing wheel]] against the string

* ''Pressure'' - the positioning of the [[The Ekdahl FAR - Getting started#bowing jack|bowing jack]]. While the [[The Ekdahl FAR - Getting started#bowing wheel|bowing wheel]] is touching the string this essentially sets the amount of force with which the [[The Ekdahl FAR - Getting started#bowing wheel|bowing wheel]] is pressed against the string and affects both loudness and harmonic content.

* ''Bow pressure position'' - sets one of the pre-defined [[The Ekdahl FAR - Getting started#bowing jack|bowing jack]] [[The Ekdahl FAR - Getting started#pressure|pressure]] positions where the rest position is where the [[The Ekdahl FAR - Getting started#bowing wheel|bowing wheel]] is not touching the string at all, and engage is where it's starting to barely touch the string.

* ''Bow pressure position'' - sets one of the pre-defined [[The Ekdahl FAR - Getting started#bowing jack|bowing jack]] [[The Ekdahl FAR - Getting started#pressure|pressure]] positions ''rest'' or ''engage'' where the ''rest'' position is where the [[The Ekdahl FAR - Getting started#bowing wheel|bowing wheel]] is not touching the string at all, and ''engage'' is where it's starting to barely touch the string.

* ''Harmonic table'' - A list of ratios used to emphasize overtones in the string, each ratio corresponds to a MIDI or CV note in an octave. The default harmonic table contains 12 ratios per octave and ~~the ratios~~ are derived from just intonation.

* ''Harmonic table'' - This is a list of ratios or scales used to emphasize overtones in the string, each ratio corresponds to a MIDI or CV note in an octave. The default harmonic table contains 12 ratios per octave and are derived from just intonation.

* ''Harmonic / Harmonic number'' - a single ratio and octave in the current [[The Ekdahl FAR - Getting started#harmonic table|harmonic table]]. The ratio is used to calculate the bowing frequency from the fundamental, this frequency will emphasize a certain overtone. e.g. a harmonic number 17 in a 12-note scale refers to the 5th ratio on the second octave from the fundamental.

* ''Harmonic shift / fine tune'' - freely shifts the frequency of the [[The Ekdahl FAR - Getting started#bowing wheel|bowing wheel]] from the [[The Ekdahl FAR - Getting started#harmonic number|harmonic number]] set. The [[The Ekdahl FAR - Getting started#command|command]] issued is dependent on the [[The Ekdahl FAR - Commands#harmonic shift range|harmonic shift range]] which can be edited with the [[The Ekdahl FAR - Configuration Utility|configuration utility]].
