About Scale
Because NGEN is designed with live performance in mind, most of the Generators process notes in terms of musical intervals rather than specific notes. Therefore these Generators use the selected Key and Scale in the SCALE sub-menu to translate those intervals to the appropriate notes.
This approach lets the user change the Key and Scale of all Tracks simultaneously via the SCALE sub-menu (available in the MAIN MENU).
A global Octave control is also available under the Scale sub-menu.
