Harmonies
Push’s pads have been designed to capture the nuances of expressive
playing. This means you can easily add variation and feel to your
melodies and harmonies using MPE or aftertouch.
When a MIDI track containing an instrument is selected, the 8x8 pad
grid is automatically configured to play notes in the 64 Notes layout. By
default, every note on the grid is in the key of C major. The bottom left
pad plays C1. Moving upward, each pad is a fourth higher. Moving to
the right, each pad is the next note in the C major scale.
