Scale: These two fields determine the root note and the scale type.
Root Note: This is the starting point of the scale. 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 (and
highlighted in the display) to indicate where the scale starts in each octave.
Scale Type: This is the scale or mode based on the root note. (This is disabled when Type is
set to Progressions.) The available scales are:
Major Gypsy Dorian
Minor (melodic) Hungarian Gypsy Phrygian
Pentatonic Major Persian Lydian
Pentatonic Minor Major Bebop Mixolydian
Blues (minor) Whole Tone Aeolian
Flamenco Chromatic Locrian
Chord: This determines what chord type will play when pressing a pad. The resulting chord will use
those scale degrees based off of the pad's root note.
When the Type is set to Chords, the available chords are:
1-3-5 (major/minor) 1-3-5-7 (major7/minor7)
1-4-5 (sus4) 1-3-5-7b (dominant)
1-2-5 (sus2)
When the Type is set to Chromatic Chords, the available chords are:
Major Sus2 Major7 Major9 Augmented
Minor Sus4 Minor7 Minor9 Diminished
Banks: This determines how the notes are mapped across the pad banks.
Start on root ensures that Pad 01 is always the root note of the scale in every pad bank.
Continuous ensures that Pad 01 of one bank is always one scale degree higher than Pad 16 of
the previous bank.
