Root note
The default root note for all scales is C. In the Scales View shown at page 31, Pad 9,
corresponding to C, is lit a darker blue than the other pads. To change the keyboard root note
in Note View, press a different keynote selection pad in Scale View. (Note that the keynote
selection pads always show an octave from C to B.) When a different root note is selected, the pad
illumination changes to indicate the notes available in the currently selected scale for the new key.
For example, if you are working in the Major scale, and select G as the root note, the Scales View
will look this:
25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32
17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24
