Creating user scales
Creating an original scale, and assigning
it to a Program
On the User Scale page, you can create your own
original scales. These include sixteen different User
Octave Scales, in which the pitch of each note of the
octave is repeated for all octaves, and one User All
Note Scale, in which the pitch of each of the 128 notes
can be specified independently.
By adjusting the pitch of each key in the range of ±99
cents, you can raise or lower it by approximately one
semitone relative to the normal pitch.
The user scales you create here can be used by
specifying the scale for a program, for each timbre of a
combination, or for each track of a song.
You can choose these scales from the following pages.
Here is how to set the scale type for each timbre in
Sequencer mode.
1. Create a user octave scale or a user all notes scale.
Select a key, and use the VALUE controllers to adjust
the pitch. The range of ±99 raises or lowers the pitch
approximately one semitone above or below the
standard pitch.
Note: You can also select a key by holding down the
ENTER switch and playing the desired note on the
keyboard.
Note: You can copy one of the preset scales and edit it
to create an original scale. To do so, use the page menu
command “Copy Scale.”
2. Press the SEQ button to enter Sequencer mode.
3. Press the Track Param tab and then the Pitch tab to
access the P2: Trk Param– Pitch page.
4. If you want the Track to use the scale saved with
its individual Program, check the track’s “Use
Program’s Scale” check box.
Tracks that are not checked will use the scale specified
by Scale “Type (Song’s Scale).”
5. Set “Type (Song’s Scale)” to select the scale for the
currently selected song.
