instrumentally
By mechanical means
Instrumentally means by way of an instrument or as a means to an end.
Music performed instrumentally uses only instruments, without vocals: The song works better instrumentally.
In philosophy, to value something instrumentally is to value it for what it produces rather than for its own sake: Money is valued instrumentally, not intrinsically.
