Key Lock
This parameter locks the keyboard or pads to the key you select. You’ll hear no dierence unless
you have selected a scale besides Chromatic. After that the Key Lock parameter works together
with the non-chromatic scale to specify the notes the keyboard or pads are allowed to play.
Select a Scale
There are 38 preset scales available. It is
possible to create a custom scale if you don’t
nd the one you want (see the next section).
When a non-chromatic scale is selected, notes
that are not in the scale are ltered out. So if
you play notes outside of the selected scale,
they will be quantized to the pre-determined
scale notes. This also aects incoming MIDI
notes. However, outgoing MIDI notes are not
aected; if C#3 is not in the scale and you play
the C#3 key, a C#3 will be transmitted over
MIDI and USB.
For a list of the scales and the notes they
contain, See Scales (p. 95).
Custom Scale
The Custom scale option is located at the
bottom of the scale list. To get there from
Voice page 3, turn Control knob 2 fully
counter-clockwise.
Scale Edit
After the Custom scale is selected, press
Control button 4 to enter the Scale Edit page.
Here’s what you’ll see:
• Control button 1: This is the rst note in the
custom scale, and it is based upon the Key
Lock setting. The Control knob is disabled.
• Control knobs 2-8: These represent notes
2-8 of the custom scale.
Quick assign
To assign notes quickly to the custom scale,
hold Control button 1 and play the desired
notes on the keyboard or pads. The existing
notes will be cleared as soon as you play the
rst note.
Note that if the root note is entered it will be
ignored (it’s the Key). It’s okay to enter the notes
out of order; they’ll be placed in chromatic
order when Control button 1 is released.
Clear a note
To clear one or more notes, hold [INIT] and
press the corresponding Control button(s).
You can’t clear the Key selection on Control
button 1; that’s the root key of the scale. To
change it, exit this page and adjust the Key
Lock parameter.
Individual note assign
If you entered a wrong note, hold the corre-
sponding Control button and play the correct
note. The Control knob also can be used to
select the note. Again, it’s okay if the new note
is not in chromatic order; this will be corrected
after pressing [EXIT].
Snap
Snap shortens the initial attack time to provide
sharper initial transients. When Snap is O the
original timing on the fade in of the waveform
is retained; when it’s On the start time is
shortened to be nearly instant. This gives bass
and percussive patches more presence.
