• Click the Triplet button to divide each beat into three subdivisions. This option is particularly useful for
music with swing and shuffle rhythms, like jazz and blues.
• Click the Dotted button to mark every 1.5 beats. This option is particularly helpful for music with an odd
number of beats per bar. In a waltz with three beats per bar, for example, a dotted note perfectly spans half a
measure.
Snap edited or recorded MIDI to musical scales
In the Sequencer, Snap To Scale options restrict all newly edited and recorded notes to a musical scale you specify.
Snapping to a scale gives music a unified, harmonic feel.
By default, the root note of the scale reflects the session key, which controls the pitch of all voiced audio loops in a
session. If your session doesn’t contain loops, or if you understand how musical keys interact, feel free to specify a
root note that differs from the session key.
1 Click the Snap To Scale button .
2 From the pop-up menus to the right of the button, select a root note and scale type.
