Pad Mode = Chromatic, Pad Key/Scale = C Chromatic;
= root (yellow), # = red, all others = blue
A Chromatic scale contains all 12 notes, so none of the pads are grey. Instead, red pads are the
equivalent of the black keys on a piano, and blue keys are the equivalent of the white keys. The
yellow pads are the root notes, which in this case play a C.

Pad Mode = Chromatic, Pad Key/Scale = C# Chromatic;
= root (yellow), # = red, all others = blue
Selecting a Pad Key of C# shifts the range of the pads up a half-step. The yellow pads are the
root notes, which in this case play a C#. And again, the Chromatic scale contains all 12 notes, so
none of the pads are grey. Instead, red pads are the equivalent of the black keys on a piano, and
blue keys are the equivalent of the white keys. Their positions have simply been oset to the
left by one pad compared to a Pad Key of C.

Pad Mode = Fretboard, Pad Key/Scale = C Major; Voice Scale = Chromatic
= root (yellow), CAPS = in scale (blue), lower case = out of scale (grey)
Above: Grey pads show which notes are out of the scale, but the notes still can be played since
the Voice Scale is Chromatic. Pad playback is very dierent after selecting a Voice Scale of C
Major (see example below).
