The Scale Editor includes a number of options for adjusting each scale degree in terms of note
remapping, ornaments, and tuning.
1. Input Note Display: Displays the note that is played on the MIDI keyboard.
2. Select by MIDI: Selects the played scale degree automatically when the respective MIDI note
is played. Deactivate to keep the scale degree options locked in at the selected note
3. Note Function: Changes the note function between a scale note and a non-scale note.
4. Remap Note: Remaps the note to either the lower or upper scale note when a non-scale note
is played.
5. Ornament Type: Assigns an ornament to each scale of the degree. Select an ornament for the
specied note. An ornament symbol is displayed for every active ornament assignment, either
between the note name and the stave or near the notehead.
6. Tuning: Adjusts the tuning of each degree of the scale. Drag to set the tuning of the specied
scale degree in cents.
7. Staff: Displays each note of the scale on horizontal lines. Whole notes depict scale notes,
while cue sized notes depict either non-scale notes or remapped notes.
8. X: Exits the Scale Editor.
9. Copy and Paste Scale: Copy and pastes scale settings. Use these buttons to copy scale
settings between different scale preset slots.
8.2.1. Remapping and Ornament Controls
YANGQIN’s Scale Editor’s note remap controls can be useful for customizing the scales as well as
expanding the playability of each scale. This section provides a few examples of how the remap
and ornament controls can be used.
Let’s use C Maj Pentatonic as an example.
C Major Pentatonic Scale
The upper row of notes of the Scale Editor implicates the note that is played on the MIDI keyboard.
The notes belonging to the C Maj Pentatonic scale are C, D, E, G, and A.
When a C note is played on the MIDI keyboard, this is played back as C, which is the root note of
the C Maj Pentatonic Scale
