The Chromatic/Scale toggle will switch between Chromatic Mode (lit dim red) and Scale Mode (lit
bright green) upon being pressed.
Overlap allows you to alter the layout of both Chromatic Mode and Scale Mode. See 6.5 Overlap for
a detailed explanation.
The Scale Viewer shows which notes are in the currently selected scale on a piano layout keyboard.
Blue pads show notes in the scale, the purple pad shows the root, and the dimly lit white pads show
notes outside of the scale. Press a pad in the Scale Viewer to change the root note of the scale.
Scale select lets you choose from 16 different scales. Press a pad to select a scale. The selected scale
will be lit bright white, while unselected scales will be lit dim blue.
The available scales are:
• Natural Minor
• Natural Major
• Dorian
• Phrygian
• Mixolydian
• Melodic Minor
• Harmonic Minor
• Bebop Dorian
• Blues
• Minor Pentatonic
• Hungarian Minor
• Ukrainian Dorian
• Marva
• Todi
• Whole Tone
• Hirajoshi
The MIDI channel that Note Mode transmits on may be selected between 1 and 16. This is useful
when you want to send notes to a specific track when you have multiple tracks record armed.
6.5 Overlap
Overlap determines the relationship between notes on different rows. An overlap of 5 means that the
leftmost pad on a row will play the same note as the sixth pad across on the row below (see A.1.1
Overlap - 5 Finger).
Each overlap level represents how many fingers are needed to play a scale (excluding sequential
layout). For example, with the 4 finger overlay you are able to play a scale going vertically up the grid
with only 4 fingers (see A.1.2 Overlap - 4 Finger)
The sequential overlay behaves differently from the 2, 3, 4 and 5 finger overlays. In Chromatic Mode,
notes will be laid out linearly and are unique to each pad. In Scale Mode, only octaves of the root will
be overlaid. Sequential layout in Scale Mode is similar to the layout on the Novation Circuit range,
and offers a great way to play scales over a range of octaves easily (see A.1.3 Overlap – Sequential).
