The Notes/Octave parameter sets the number of notes in the
scale. You can choose from 1 to 16. As examples, 12 could be a
chromatic scale, 5 a pentatonic, and 7 a major or minor scale.
Octave size determines the transposition of the scale. Technically
this is the transposition, in semitones, that is added after all of the
notes in an octave are used. Typically it is 12 but can be from 0 to
24. For example, if you use a scale that is three notes long and set
the Octave size to 7 with CC Note Ctlr#41 37Note, the Þrst three
notes will be at the bottom end of the ribbon. As you slide your
Þnger along the ribbon, every three notes will transpose up the
Þfth. So if the scale is playing C E G, the next three notes would
be G A D followed by D F A and so on up to 37 notes.
The next window is one of the 16 Step windows.

The top left tells you what step you are editing and the top right
tells you the interval you have chosen. You can select from 0 to
24; two octaves, in other words. With no transposition, 0 is C4. 1
would be the half step above that, C#4. Intervals can be put in
any order in the I6 steps. For example, a major scale would have
the values:
0, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11
Press Exit and the display goes back to the CC Note scale select
screen. Press Exit again or the Global button to return to the
Global edit select screen and one more time to the Setup select
screen.
To hear changes to a Scale you are editing, setup a RBN section to
one of the CCNote controllers and Select the CCnote User scale
you want to work with. You can exit to the Globals or use the
Shortcut to the Scale Editor from the Controller Editor (press
Learn and then the Global button to enter the Scale Editor; press
the global button to exit back to the Controller Editor; Press Exit
to go back to Play Mode).
