Now simply play the melody to be corrected from your keyboard or sequencer. Tempo and rhythm don’t matter, so take your time and make sure you don’t play any wrong notes. As each note is played, its name appears in the top line of the display. Assume, for example, that your melody starts with D , B, and then A. After playing those notes the display would look like this:

xx:

D#

A B

Press PAGE when done

When you have played the entire melody, press the PAGE button to end the process and automatically take you to the Scale Page, where you may further edit your scale as described below.

If you happen to make an error during note entry, or want to try again for any other reason, continue pressing the PAGE button until you return to the first screen above and start the process again.

Note: When you start the process by pressing the left cursor key, all notes are

first removed from the current Program’s scale in preparation for adding just the notes you play. If you then press the PAGE button without playing any notes, you will be taken to the Scale Page below which will display a scale with no notes present. In this state, the ATR-1a will pass all notes with no correction applied. So don’t do that.

Another Note: We realize that there is some possibility of confusion between the Make Scale From MIDI function and MIDI Note Mode selected on MIDI Page 1 in the System Edit pages. To clarify: the MIDI Note Mode is used to specify target pitches in real time while pitch correction is occurring, while Make Scale From MIDI is used in advance of correction to create a custom scale for a program.

MIDI Note Mode does not need to (and, in fact, shouldn’t) be enabled to use the Make Scale From MIDI function. MIDI Note Mode always overrides the current program’s scale, including one created by the Make Scale From MIDI function.

Scale Page

You tell the ATR-1a exactly which notes you want to correct on the Scale Page:

XX:CC#DD#EFF#GG#AA#B
