Additionally, the following global settings are saved whenever a setting slot is saved:
•
Default Settings Slot (which Slot the SMR starts up in)
•
Custom scales
•

•
Slider LED mode
The six Settings Slots are represented by the six Lock buttons. When you enter System Mode, the Lock buttons will flash in a
way to tell you their status:
•
Dimly flashing: Settings Slot is empty
•
Brightly flashing: Settings Slot is full
•
Lit solidly (not flashing): Settings Slot is currently selected
Recall Settings
To recall settings from a Slot, enter System Mode and then tap one of the brightly flashing Lock buttons. The settings from
that Slot will be loaded and you will instantly exit System Mode.
Saving Settings
To save the current settings into a Slot, enter System Mode and then hold down one of the Lock buttons for three seconds.
The SMR will beep for a fraction of a second. The next time you power the SMR on, it will boot into the last saved Slot.
Recalling a slot and then saving it is the way to set a default startup slot without changing any settings.
Table of Scales and Banks
See Scales and Banks section, and ROTATE (SCALE) knob section (page 10) for details on how to change scales and
banks. The order of the banks is this table is left to right, then top to bottom.
1. Western scale (white)
Just intonation. Each scale contains
a root note and one interval,
repeated over 10 octaves. Each
scale uses a different interval (m2 to
M7) and spans 27.5Hz to 15kHz
2. Indian pentatonic (green)
Scales 1-8 have five notes per
octave, spanning four octaves. Each
is one octave above the previous.
Scales 9-11 contain selected notes.
3. Alpha scale, selected notes
(lavender)
.
Each scale contains
intervals from Wendy Carlos's micro-
tonal scale, spanning roughly from
20Hz to 20kHz
4. Alpha scale, selected notes
(cyan)
.
More variations. All intervals
are multiples of 78.0 cents (perfect
fifth split into nine equal parts), so
there are no octaves, yet rich
harmonies.
5. Gamma scale, selected
notes (orange)
Each scale contains intervals
selected from Wendy Carlos's non-
octave repeating Gamma scale,
spanning roughly 20Hz to 20kHz.
6. 17-note per octave (yellow)
The first scale starts at 13.75Hz and
each note is equally tempered to a
17-note octave. Each scale is one
octave above the previous.
7. Chromatic (purple)
The first scale starts at E2 (82.4Hz)
and each note is one semi-tone
above the previous. Each scale
spans an octave and a half and is
six semi-tones above the previous.
8. Diatonic 1/2 (magenta)
Each scale is a diatonic scale
spanning almost three octaves. The
first two scales start on A, the next
two start on A#, then B, C, C#, D. In
each pair, the second scale is two
octaves above the first.
9. Diatonic 2/2 (rose)
Continuation of previous bank,
starting at D#, E, F, F#, G, G#
10. Western dual-interval (light
green).
Each scale starts on G1
(49Hz), followed by two intervals.
The triad is repeated across seven
octaves, an octave higher each time.
The pair of intervals varies per scale:
M2/P5, M3/flat5, m3/M5, M4/P5,
m3/#5, P4/P5, M3/M6, m3/flat6,
M3/#5, m3/m7, P5/M7
11. Mesopotamian (Red)
Various ancient scales from
Mesopotamia. Scales 1, 3, 5, 7, 9,
and 11 have six notes starting on A2
(55Hz), and then repeats over 3
octaves. The remaining scales are
copies of the previous scale, but
three octaves higher.
12. Shrutis, Indian scales
(Yellow-green).
Uses 20 notes
from a 22-note octave, so each
scale spans one octave and is one
octave higher than the previous
scale.
13. Graphic EQ (blue)
These are common frequencies in
Eqs. The first scale is 20Hz, 40, 60,
80, 100, 150, 250, 350, 500, 630,
800, 1k, 1.3k, 1.6k, 2k,
2.6k,3.5k,5k,8k,10k. Each scale is
the same as the previous scale,
shifted up about 3%
14. Gamelan (azure)
Scales 1 and 2 are the Gamelan
Pelog (5-note) scale repeated over 4
octaves. Scales 3, 4, and 5 are
Slendro (7-note) scales spanning 3
octaves each. Scales 6-11 are a
selection of five notes from the
Slendro scale.
15. Bohlen-Pierce (Lime)
Instead of octaves, the BP scale is
based on the tritave (triple the root
frequency), with thirteen notes per
tritave. Each scale starts on C1 and
contains four selected notes per
tritave, spanning five tritaves
16. Custom scales (gray/pearl)
These are user-programmable
scales. See section above for how to
write and save your own scales. By
default, they are chromatic scales
