User Manual

The Root Note is always mapped to the middle C key (commonly called C3). If the selected scale
consists of seven notes, it matches the seven white keys of a single octave on the keyboard. In
this case, the Root Note coincides with the key C across all octaves of the keyboard. If instead the
selected scale consists of more or less than seven notes, it does not match the seven white keys
of a single octave on the keyboard and the Root Note is shifted throughout adjacent octaves ac-
cordingly.
For two examples of the Easy mode mappings in Major and Minor, see below.
