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 [sound], 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: [shift] + [erase] → 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
