Creating user scales

Creating an original scale, and assigning
it to a Program
On the User Scale page, you can create your own original
scales. These include sixteen different User Octave Scales,
in which the pitch of each note of the octave is repeated for
all octaves, and one User All Note Scale, in which the pitch
of each of the 128 notes can be specified independently.
By adjusting the pitch of each key in the range of ±99 cents,
you can raise or lower it by approximately one semitone
relative to the normal pitch.
The user scales you create here can be used by specifying the
scale for a program, for each timbre of a combination, or for
each track of a song.
You can choose these scales from the following pages.

PROGRAM Program Basic: Scale
COMBINATION Pitch: Scale, Use Program's Scale
SEQUENCER Pitch: Scale, Use Program's Scale

Here is how to set the scale type for each timbre in
SEQUENCER mode.
1. Create a user octave scale or a user all notes scale.
Select a key, and use the VALUE controllers to adjust the
pitch. The range of ±99 raises or lowers the pitch
approximately one semitone above or below the standard
pitch.
Note: You can also select a key by holding down the
ENTER button and playing the desired note on the
keyboard.
Note: You can copy one of the preset scales and edit it to
create an original scale. To do so, use the page menu
command Copy Scale.
2. Press the MODE button to select SEQUENCER
mode.
3. Press the PAGE button to choose the Track Parameter
and then press the Pitch tab to go to the
SEQUENCER > Track Parameters– Pitch page.
4. If you want the Track to use the scale saved with its
individual Program, check the track's "Use
Program's Scale" check box.
Tracks that are not checked will use the scale specified by
Scale "Type (Song's Scale)."
5. Set "Type (Song's Scale)" to select the scale for the
currently selected song.
