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 repre-
sentation 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 press-
ing 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 key-
board. 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 Note
is indicated by a
brighter lit LED.

Easy
mode mappings in
Major
and
Minor
