To change the scale you will need to access the scale settings, do this by holding the Shift button and
pressing the Scale button. The Scale button will be flashing at this point to indicate that you are in
scale settings. To change the root note simply press the corresponding key (note all the black keys will
be represented as sharps #). Changing the scale type is done using the pads, when in the scale setting
they will look like this:
The bottom row of pads will be lit and can be used to select a scale, the selected scale is then shown
on the screen. From left to right the pads can be used to select the following scales: Minor, Major,
Dorian, Mixolydian, Phrygian, Harmonic Minor, Minor Pentatonic and Major Pentatonic.
To exit the scales setting mode press the scale button or any of the function buttons. The settings
mode will also time-out after 10 seconds of inactivity, with the keyboard returning to its previous
state.
3.4 Custom Modes
The Launchkey knobs, pads and faders (49 and 61 key models only) can be configured to send custom
messages using Novation Components. These custom message configurations are referred to as
Custom Modes. To access the custom modes press Shift and the Custom Mode Pads/Fader buttons.
Note that in standalone operation, Device, Volume, Pan, Sends and Session modes are not available.
