The scale you choose to play in will be saved when you save the pattern.
You will see that when you select a different scale in
Scales View
, the illumination of the pads
in the upper two rows changes. If you are familiar with a piano keyboard, you will see that the
arrangement of pads simulates the layout of keys over one octave (initially starting at C), with
Row 2 representing the white notes and Row 1 the black notes. Note that Pads 1, 4, 8 and 16
are always disabled in this view, to allow pads 2 and 3, and 5, 6 and 7 to act as the black notes.
The brightly lit pads are those that belong to the selected scale, the dim ones are the notes that
don’t belong.
