Description
The first SCALE parameter is
scale means deciding what key the scale will begin with. The
following notes of the scale depend on which scale pattern you select
with the Scale Type parameter. You can transpose any scale pattern
up or down by selecting a different Root Note.
The second SCALE parameter is Type. Use this to set the scale
pattern according to which the notes will be mapped onto the 8x8
click-pad matrix.
For example, using the default
default SCALE Type value Major, you get the scale C major, which
spans over one octave and contains the notes C, D, E, F, G, A, and B
(followed by C again). If instead you select G as your
G major scale contains the notes G, A, B, C, D, E, and F# (followed
by G again). You will notice that the distance between each note
follows the same pattern of "whole step–whole step–half step– whole
step–whole step–whole step–half step," which is the pattern of the
Major scale.
If you are triggering an instrument via an incoming MIDI pattern from
your host software, the notes of the MIDI pattern will be mapped
onto the closest keys belonging to the selected
