Notes: Each pad is assigned a note, ascending by one scale degree with each pad.
•
Chords: Each pad is assigned a chord, the root note ascending by one scale degree with each
pad. All available chords will play in the key determined by the Scale.
•
Chromatic Chords: Each pad is assigned a chord, the root note ascending by one scale degree
with each pad. You can play any chord type regardless of the key determined by the Scale.
