7.3.4 Selecting a Scale, Chord and Pad Layout
MASCHINE comes equipped with a vast amount of scales and chords that you can select and
use to play your Sounds. This opens up possibilities to play an instrument in a certain scale
without hitting a wrong note on your controller, or to play chords that always fit by just hitting a
single click-pad.
Scales and Chords
When you select a scale from the on-screen overlay, the scale gets mapped onto the 8x8 click-
pad matrix. This means that regardless of which click-pads you actually press, or what MIDI
notes you send from your host application, the notes that are being played back are always
mapped onto the closest notes contained in the scale that you selected.
