Use the Base Note and Octave fields to set the starting point of the scale (pitch and register). The available notes are all
chromatic notes across the range of the pads. The pad that's assigned the root note will be lit differently to indicate
where the scale starts in each octave.
Use the Scale field to set the scale or mode based on the root note (this is disabled when Type is set to Progressions).
The available scales are:
Major
