<h2>Scale Selection</h2>
<p>
Press the Scale button to enter Scale mode. The display will look
like this:

</p>
<p>
In the center, 37 scales are presented. Scroll through them by
either using the cursor/arrow keys to the lower right of the
display, or the knobs above the display. The scale will change
dynamically as you scroll. You can also scroll in whole pages using
the upper right and upper left buttons above the display (they will
display "<" and ">" if scrolling is possible).
</p>
<p>
To change the root note of the scale, press the corresponding button
above or below the video display.The button will be lit to indicate
your selection (and the text will be highlighted).
</p>
<p>
By default, Ardour configures the Push 2 pads to use "in-key" mode,
where all pads correspond to notes "in" the chosen scale. Notes
corresponding to the root note, or the equivalent note in higher
octaves, are highlighted with the color of the current target MIDI
track.
</p>
<p>
In
"chromatic" mode, the pads correspond to a continuous sequence of
notes starting with your selected root note. Pads corresponding to
notes in the scale are illuminated; those corresponding to the root
note are lit with the color the current target MIDI track. Other
pads are left dark, but you can still play them.
</p>
<p>
To switch between them, press button on the lower left of the video
display; the text above it will display the current mode (though it
is usually visually self-evident from the pad lighting pattern).
