SCALE PRGS for the whole MAJOR and MINOR HARM. KEY
(other scales will follow)

each bank has 2 octaves, starts from 0 to 8 (f.e. C0-C8)


so here we go.....

u have to route (in the main page)
INT OUT1: PART ------ SCALEPRG (Drumprg)
INT OUT2: PART ------ KEYGRP PRG. of your choice (Sampler)

nice for jamming, cause u cant play out of key

after recording you can change the Type Setting from Drums to Inst, and there u go with the recorded notes in the piano roll view.


if anyone are interested to help me to create scaleprgs, take a look at

tip: for assinging the notenumbers you are way faster when u use the numblock to type the notenumber in for each pad

hint: if youve got the optional output board, use one of the mono outs to connect to a chromatic tuner to tune your sound(s) first. because if theyre not intune, the scale programs arent that effective (duh)
You can also use a computer program or plugin like an IK amp for tuning. and use the stereo outs if connected to a cimputer.
Or of course, tune with your ears :cry: ( <- concentrating smiley)
