Mixer/Tuning: Sub Scale

This page lets you program an alternative scale for the tracks
selected with the "Scale Mode" parameter (see page 100).
remaining tracks (if any) use the basic scale set in Global
mode (see "Main Scale" on page 202).
Note: A different Scale can be associated to each Performance or
STS.
Note: Quarter Tone selection can be received by MIDI (i.e., by an
external sequencer or controller). Conversely, selection of Quarter
Tone settings can be sent by the Pa588 to an external MIDI
recorder as System Exclusive data.
Scale
Selected scale. See "Scales" on page 39 of the Data Lists manual
(in the Accessory CD) for a list of the available scales. When
selecting the User scale, the keyboard diagram on the right
becomes active (see "How to fine tune each note of the User

In the display, touch any note you want to lower a quarter tone
(or any other programmed value), making a big dot appear on
the note diagram. Touch the note again to make the dot disap-
pear.
This control is momentary and not saved to memory, to allow
Sty
for fast scale alteration while playing. You can assign the Quarter
Tone function also to a footswitch.
As an alternative to programming the scale in the display, you
can use a footswitch. See below "How to program a scale in real-
time using a footswitch" for more information.
