Nota Scale
Nota Scale keeps every note in key. Play anything — every key on the keyboard lands on a note of the scale. Handy for jamming, for random and generative parts, and for keeping a controller in key.
Root and type
Section titled “Root and type”Root (the key’s tonic) and the type: Major, Minor, Harm Minor, Dorian, Phryg, Lydian, Mixolyd, Penta, Penta Min, Chromatic or Custom, each with its note count.
Note map
Section titled “Note map”The twelve notes as cells: scale notes filled, the root edged, the others saying where they fold. Click a cell to add or remove that note — the type turns Custom. The note sounding now lights up.
Fold and options
Section titled “Fold and options”| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Fold | Where an out-of-scale note goes: Nearest, Down or Up |
| Transpose | Shift the result |
| Range | Only notes within the range are snapped; the rest pass through |
| Follow key | The root follows the key of what you play |
| Learn | While on, notes pass through and every note you play is collected into a Custom scale |
| Clear | Empty the custom set |
Last IN → OUT shows the latest note and where it went.
Auto Shift can copy this device’s key and scale for pitch correction, and the piano roll’s Scale overlay uses the same scales.

Section titled “Presets”35 factory presets: keys and modes (C Major, A Minor, E Minor Down, G Major Up, A Harmonic Minor, C Melodic Minor, D Dorian, E Phrygian, F Lydian, G Mixolydian, B Locrian), pentatonics and blues (C Penta, A Penta Minor, Black Keys (F# Penta), A Blues), White Keys Only, E Phrygian Dominant and more.
