Mapped Mode (Default)
In Mapped mode, the notes are mapped to the keyboard according to the selected scale. Notes
outside of the selected scale are not active. Pressing the corresponding keys will trigger the next
available note in the selected scale. The Light Guide highlights the active keys via lit LEDs. The root
notes are indicated by brighter lit LEDs.
Guide Mode
In Guide mode, the notes are mapped to the keyboard in the same way as in Mapped mode,
however notes outside of the selected scale remain active. The mapping only affects the
representation of the scale by means of the Light Guide.
Easy Mode
In Easy mode, the notes of the selected scale are mapped to the keyboard so that any scale can
be played using the white keys of the keyboard only. The black keys are inactive and pressing them
will not trigger any other notes.
Selecting the 12-step chromatic scale in KEY MODE Easy maps the keys in the same
way as in the Mapped mode.
The Root Note is always mapped to the middle C key (commonly called C3). If the selected scale
consists of seven notes, it matches the seven white keys of a single octave on the keyboard. In
this case, the Root Note coincides with the key C across all octaves of the keyboard. If instead
the selected scale consists of more or less than seven notes, it does not match the seven white
keys of a single octave on the keyboard and the Root Note is shifted throughout adjacent octaves
accordingly.
The Light Guide highlights all white keys of the keyboard. The root notes are indicated by brighter
lit LEDs.
For two examples of the Easy mode mappings in Major and Minor, refer to below.
