Fretboard: C Major x2
Pad #
17-24 a
9-16 F
1-8 C
Pad Mode = Fretboard, Pad Key/Scale = C Major; Voice Scale = Major
= root (yellow), CAPS = in scale (blue), lower case = quantized to note in scale (grey)
In this case the pads look the same, but the grey pads are forced to play notes within the Voice
Scale. Pads that would otherwise trigger out-of-scale notes are quantized to a note within the
scale. Generally the pitches of the in-scale notes are duplicated on the grey pads immediately
to the right. But there are exceptions: for example, pad 17 in the top row was quantized to the
pitch of pad 14. Exceptions like this are made in some modes to widen the range of a row.

Pad Mode = Octave Row, Pad Key/Scale = C Major
Octave Row can only be selected for Pad Scales
that contain fewer than 8 notes.
Octave Row: C Maj Pent

1-8 C
Pad Mode = Octave Row, Pad Key/Scale = C Pent Major
A Pentatonic scale contains only 5 notes, which are framed by two root notes an octave apart.
The two furthest pads in each row are not needed, so they are not lit.
