APPENDIX B - BANK PRESETS

The µScale ships with 5 banks pre-lLED with scales. The user is free to erase, modify and program their own scales/banks instead.

These can serve as a starting point or provide inspiration on how to set up ones own set of banks

BANK1: MAJOR SCALES

Each of the 12 Major scales is stored at its respective root note. E.g. C Major is on Button#1 (C note), F Major on Button#6 (F note) etc.

BANK 2: NATURAL MINOR SCALES

Each of the 12 Natural Minor scales is stored at its respective root note. E.g. C Minor is on Button#1 (C note), F Minor on Button#6 (F

note) etc.

BANK 3: HARMONIC MINOR SCALES

Each of the 12 Harmonic Minor scales is stored at its respective root note. E.g. C Minor is on Button#1 (C note), F Minor on Button#6 (F

note) etc.

BANK 4: CHORDS IN Cmajor

The rst seven scales are triads based off of each degree of the C Major scale. You can easily shift each one (use the ROOT function)

and restore it in a different key. This is just an example of a bank that might be useful for something like SCALE SELECT MODE.

1. Cmaj

2. Dmin

3. Emin

4. Fmaj

5. Gmaj

6. Amin

7. Bdim

8. Cmaj7

9. Dmin7

10. Emin7

11. Fmaj7

12. Gmaj7

BANK 5: CHORDS IN Cminor

1.Cmin

2.Ddim

3.Ebmaj

4.Fmin

5.Gmin

6.Abmaj

7.Bbmaj

8.Cmin7

9.Dm7b5

10.Ebmaj7

11.Fmin7

12.Gmin7

BANK 11: SPECIAL SCALES (mostly in C)

You can use the ROOT function to shift these scales into another key.

1. Chromatic (all notes)

2. C Major Pentatonic

3. C Major Locrian

4. C Hungarian Minor

5. C Gypsy Minor

6. C Arabic Scale

7. C Phygian Dominant

8. C Octatonic

9. C Altered Dominant

10. Wholetone

11. Minor Pentatonic

12. Octave

BANK 12: CV UTILITY

This is a special set of scales that you can use to create a CV bar graph when in SCALE SELECT MODE

Scale 1 has one note while each subsequent scale has an additional note stored right up to Scale 12 which has all 12 notes.

The result is that a CV value of 0 (or -5 depending on the jumper setting on the PCB) will select the lowest scale and the highest CV

value will select the highest scale. (See video demo on Intellijel Vimeo page or website)
