Scale Settings

Root Key

This parameter specifies the tonic or root key for the scale selected in 
SCALE TYPE.

Scale Type

Use this parameter to select the scale type (temperament).

Equal Temp:

 This is the most commonly used scale. Each semitone is 

spaced at an equal distance from the others (equal temperament).

Equal Temp Random Pitch:

 A random pitch deviation is applied to 

equal temperament each time a note-on occurs.

Pure Major:

 In this scale, the principle major chords in the selected 

key will be perfectly harmonious (pure major temperament).

Pure Minor:

 In this scale, the principle minor chords in the selected 

key will be perfectly harmonious (pure minor temperament).

User 1–12:

 You can create twelve of your own customized user scales.

User Scale

To create a User Scale, begin by selecting one of the User Scales in 
SCALE TYPE.
Next, simply adjust the pitch of each note of in the octave.
These settings are saved automatically. You can recall your User 
Scale at any time by selecting it using the SCALE TYPE parameter. 
You can adjust each note of the octave (C-B) in a range of -99 
t99 cents. These adjustments are relative to the equal 
tempered pitch (0). A setting of +99 raises the pitch approximately 
one semitone above the standard pitch. A setting of - 99 lowers the 
pitch approximately one semitone below the standard pitch.

note 

You can't make “USER SCALE” settings when “SCALE” is set to 
Equal Temp, Equal Temp Random Pitch, Pure Major, or Pure Minor.
