Scales and Chords: Visual Feedback on the Pads
When scales and/or chords are enabled, the LEDs of the pads keep you informed at any time
on the current scale and chord configuration. The default lighting behavior of your pads is
modified by the Scale and Chord engine as follows:
When Chord Mode is set to Off or Harmonizer, pads of root notes are fully lit:
Type of Pad (for Selected Scale)
Root notes
Other pads
Note that if Chord Mode is set to Harmonizer, pads triggered as part of the chord will also
flash.
When Chord Mode is set to Chord Set, pad 1 is fully lit:
Type of Pad
Pad 1
Pads 2312
Pads 13316
Enharmonic Spelling of the Root Note
On your controller, depending on the Scale Type, Chord Mode, and Chord Type you have se-
lected, the enharmonic spelling of the Root Note will vary in order to optimize the spelling of
the entire scale / chord set:
