it look likes he mapped a scale devices and a group of many drumracks, which each single have only activated the notes of a certain correspending scale..

doesn`t the maker offer a download ? try to follow the steps in the video, you can try if it will work and using just a single scale/drumrack
to check out the signal path.

I tried it and as I have nearly no experience I am very astonished that it works

First I took a empty drum rack in a slot.

Then I dropped a empty .aif file to each drum pad representing the scale and renamed the pads according to the note name

Then I created a new midi track with a instrument rack inside the slot.
As next I copied my previously defined drum rack into the instrument rack.

routing as described in the vid.

What does not work is if i create a instrument rack place inside this instrument rack my drum rack and then define the scale inside the drum rack. This does not result in a fold action. Still all notes are shown when folding.

Maybe one of the pros can help/explain it better.
