Pad Scale vs. Voice Scale
The Pad Scale and the Voice Scale both aect the notes played by the pads. For example:
• If Pad Mode = Octave Row and Pad Scale = Major Pentatonic, the pads play C-D-E-G-A-C for
the rst 5 Voice Scales.
• But if the Voice Scale changes to HarmMaj (the 6th scale) the pads play C-D-E-G-Ab-C.
• But the HarmMaj scale actually has 7 notes (C-D-E-F-G-Ab-B), so it was being ltered
through the Major Pentatonic Pad Scale in the previous step and lost two notes (F and B).
• If Pad Mode = Octave or Fretboard, Pad Scale = Chromatic, and Voice Scale = HarmMaj, all 7
notes of that scale are available on the pads.
Pad Notes and MIDI Notes
The Pad Scale aects the pads but not incoming MIDI notes. The Voice Scale aects incoming
MIDI notes AND the pads, with results also aected by the Pad Scale.

Pad Notes vs. Key Lock
Key Lock (p. 67) forces the pads to play the notes of the selected Scale (Voice or Pad) in that
Key. As a result, the selected Scale can cause pad 1 to play a dierent note than it does with
other Scales, Locked Keys, or Pad Keys.
