>>I see where the confusion comes from... The scale editor always shows the note numbers relative to C, but these are transposed to the current root when the scale is applied. Maybe it would make more sense to show the note names relative to the current root.<< I pondered some more, after I'd had some coffee, & wondered htf one is supposed to enter a //scale// based on one's requirement for a particular //key//, without having to do the transposing in one's head, up-front... so to speak.... but that's the way life is sometimes. e.g. if I want the machine to play in a key with no C's in it (which, astonishingly for anyone who's heard our stuff, we do need to do occasionally... "geiger" is in E flat minor, for example), I have to think to myself "ignore the C, & sort it out afterwards... erm... tone, tone, semitone, tone, tone, semitone.... ah f*ck, it says A... does that mean A# or....?" but to be fair, the distinction is clearly made & the tools are there to achieve the required end. if it had said "force to key" or "user key editor" then there might be a problem. >>IIRC the SYNC output on your second unit is a clock-only MIDI output.<< sync output? erm.... there are five (I think) midi outputs... none of them say "sync" & so far, all of them have played notes. are you sure? d.
