Keys Mode

keys mode - turns the 12 pads into a chromatic keyboard for any sound

why use this:

  • play melodies and bass lines with samples
  • create chord progressions
  • use any sound as an instrument

enable keys mode:

  1. select a sound (press [sonus], pick a pad)
  2. press [keys] to turn it on
  3. pads now play that sound at different pitches

find your root note:

  • hold [keys] - the root pad lights up
  • tap [keys] repeatedly to move the root position

change octave: while in keys mode, [-/+] shifts octaves up/down

change scale: [altero] + [delere] → navigate to scale setting

  • chromatic (all 12 notes)
  • major, minor, pentatonic, dorian, etc.
  • scale limits pads to only "correct" notes

tip: use legato play mode (in sound edit) with keys for smooth bass lines
