Scale Mode

Project screen: set ROOT (C–B) and SCALE (19 scales, or OFF for fully chromatic). When a scale is active, note entry in the phrase editor steps through only in-scale notes; up/down moves whole octaves snapped to the scale.

Per-instrument SCALE field:

  • PROJECT — inherit the project scale
  • OFF — all 128 notes available (use this for drum kits and slice samplers)
  • Own scale + ROOT — instrument uses its own key, ignoring the project scale

Already-entered notes are never changed by scale mode — it only guides new edits.
