Pad Scale vs. Voice Scale
The Pad Scale and the Voice Scale both aect the notes played by the pads. For example:
• If Pad Mode = Octave Row and Pad Scale = Major Pentatonic, the pads play C-D-E-G-A-C for
the rst 5 Voice Scales.
• But if the Voice Scale changes to HarmMaj (the 6th scale) the pads play C-D-E-G-Ab-C.
• But the HarmMaj scale actually has 7 notes (C-D-E-F-G-Ab-B), so it was being ltered
through the Major Pentatonic Pad Scale in the previous step and lost two notes (F and B).
• If Pad Mode = Octave or Fretboard, Pad Scale = Chromatic, and Voice Scale = HarmMaj, all 7
notes of that scale are available on the pads.
Pad Notes and MIDI Notes
The Pad Scale aects the pads but not incoming MIDI notes. The Voice Scale aects incoming
MIDI notes AND the pads, with results also aected by the Pad Scale.

Pad Notes vs. Key Lock
Key Lock (p.63) forces the pads to play the notes of the selected Scale (Voice or Pad) in that
Key. As a result, the selected Scale can cause pad 1 to play a dierent note than it does with
other Scales, Locked Keys, or Pad Keys.
