Hello, wondering where the files that contain the scale presets in pad perform are located and if they are standard .scl files like in Ableton, Sibelius etc. I have custom scales i'd like to add into the presets.

Have you read the manual about how to add to the chord bank? I have not done scales per note but have done chords and I think should work the same. So try it and see how you go, as it is very easy.

All the performance mode files are just text files, but i don't think you can touch or add to the scale presets. But there is no reason you cant do the same in progression mode. You don't have to use only/any chords, and the scale mode is just a descriptor and doesn't actually lock the notes into a scale so you need to put the mode in the name.

Mistake right off the bat comparing to computer software.
