Ableton/Live/UG/03 Live Concepts/13 Scale Awareness
- Scale Mode makes a clip, effect or device scale aware. Turn it on in the Control Bar or the Clip View, then choose a root note and scale. Settings apply to the selected clip, or to new clips when none is selected.
- In the MIDI Note Editor, Fold to Scale shows only the scale's key tracks, and Highlight Scale tints them purple, the color Live uses for scale awareness everywhere.
- MIDI Tools and the Pitch and Time Utilities follow the active scale. Arpeggiator, Chord, Pitch, Random and Scale have a Use Current Scale toggle that switches their pitch parameters to scale degrees. Auto Shift's Quantizer and Meld's oscillators and filters can follow the scale too.
