Modal Scales

The implementation of the modes in

harmonàig

allows for quick

exploration of different scales and harmonic centres.

To enter the

Modal Scale Menu

, press and hold the

Transpose Button

•

The selected modal scale indicated by the corresponding
illuminated soft white

Keyboard Button

, while the other modal scale

options are indicated by dimmer soft white illuminated

Keyboard Buttons

•

Pressing the

Diatonic Button

will switch between the

Ionian Modes

and the

Harmonic Minor Modes

•

Select a modal scale by pressing one of the

Keyboard Buttons

•

Exit the

Modal Scale Men

u by pressing the

Transpose Button

•

Quantiser Mode

, a collection of chromatic scale tones can be

enabled.

harmonàig

will quantise the

R CV Output

to the closest

enabled note. The

3 CV Output

5 CV Output

and

7 CV Output

will

quantise to interval offsets that outline the selected

Chord Quality

•

If the mode is changed while this occurs, alternate modes can be
auditioned in real time.

Ionian Modes:

Harmonic Minor Modes:

C Button = Ionian

C Button = Aeolian #7

D Button = Dorian

D Button = Locrian #6

E Button = Phrygian

D#/E Button = Ionian #5

F Button = Lydian

F Button = Dorian #4

G Button = Mixolydian

G Button = Phrygian #3

A Button = Aeolian

G#/A Button = Lydian #2

B Button = Locrian

B Button = Super Locrian
