Creating an original scale, and assigning
it to a Program
On the User Scale page, you can create your own original
scales. These include sixteen different User Octave Scales, in
which the pitch of each note of the octave is repeated for all
octaves, and one User All Note Scale, in which the pitch of
each of the 128 notes can be specified independently.
The user scales you create here can be used by specifying the
scale for a program, for each timbre of a combination, or for
each track of a song.
You can choose these scales from the following pages.
