how it works

Reading the grid

Chromatic

Every pad sits one half step from its neighbor. Good for finding notes, not for chord shapes.

In-Key: Octaves

Pads follow your chosen scale. Each row up climbs a full octave.

In-Key: 4ths

Pads follow your chosen scale, stacked in fourths — the shape most chords fall into cleanly.
