What is a key?
A key is a musical scale of 7 notes used in a
song. Keys that sound bright are known as
major keys and keys that sound dark are known
as minor keys. The rst note in the scale gives
the key its name (A–G). For example, the
bright-sounding scale that begins with C (Do)
and has the seven notes C, D, E, F, G, A and B
(Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La and Ti) is called the C
major key. Likewise, the dark-sounding scale
that contains the same notes, but begins with A
(La) is the A minor (Am) key.
2.
Press , , , or .

brightness changes with the level. Up to two harmony options can be activated. Activating a third
