Description

This is a MIDI scale preset bank with 16 scale types that, unlike Live's MIDI scale effect, will play scale degrees without repeating notes. It defaults to MIDI note number 0 (C-2) and covers the full 128 note range. This patch also has controls for key and octave.

If you would like to add more scales, enter patching mode, select the live.tab object, hit "command/ control i" and edit the "Range/ Enum" field with other scale names. Use spaces between names and parenthesis for namings with 2, or more words. You'll also need to edit the coll list.

To edit the coll list, while in edit mode, hold down command/ control, click "Write", then name the file. Now open this file in a text editor and add the scale intervals numerically. They should look like this:

0, 0 0 2 4 5 7 9 11 12 14 16 17 19 21 23 24 26;

1, 0 0 2 3 5 7 8 10 12 14 15 17 19 20 22 24 26;

2, 0 0 2 3 5 7 9 10 12 14 15 17 19 21 22 24 26;

etc.

To load your list, simply click "Read".

Cheers,

Brandon
