The Axe-Fx Ultra
TM
has the ability to define up to 32 custom scales. A custom scale is an arbitrary
table of pitch shift values that need not conform to any conventional definition of a scale. Custom
scales can be used to create harmonic counterpoint using the Custom Shifter mode of the Pitch
block or other non-standard harmonic relationships.
To program a custom scale simply choose the desired location number where to store the scale
parameters. Up to 32 scales can be defined.
Next enter the output note for each note in the chromatic scale. For example, if you play a ‘D’ and
want an ‘F’ to sound set the
‘D’ SHIFT
parameter value to three semitones. Now whenever you play
a ‘D’ using this custom scale the output will be shifted three semitones resulting in the note ‘F’.
