By default, the Chromatic scale is selected — in other terms, by default your pads play every
semitone as in previous MASCHINE versions, however the last selected Scale is automatically
assigned when a new Group is created.
The Scale Type parameter is not available if the Chord Mode parameter is set to Chord
Set — see below for more information.
Available Chords
The Chord engine can automatically generate chords depending on the pad you hit and possi-
bly the selected scale. The Chord engine is controlled via two parameters:
▪ Chord Mode (Off by default): Selects from three different modes for generating chords:
