Any way to make a custom push scale
I would be interested to know how to make a custom scale in note mode? Maybe a max for live device or even cooler a way to edit the note mode script. Anyone try it?

Re: Any way to make a custom push scale
if you modify the const.py file you can add scales.

Yes, all the info is on that page. Itis easy to add custom scales and re-arrange the existing ones should you want to...robinez wrote:if you modify the const.py file you can add scales.

What do the numbers in brackets mean in this exemple : MUSICAL_MODES = ['Major', [0,2,4,5,7,9,11] ?

Let's say you're in C major. C is your root. That's step 0.Syver wrote:What do the numbers in brackets mean in this exemple : MUSICAL_MODES = ['Major', [0,2,4,5,7,9,11] ?
Count 2 half steps up. There's D.
Continue up to 4 half steps from the root. Surprise! It's E.
Where might F be? One half-step higher than E? I suppose that would make it 5.
...and so on.
(You could have reasoned this one out for yourself)

Thanks. I did but I had to be sure.
Re: Any way to make a custom push scale
Has anyone tried to do microtonal scales at all? I don't have Push (yet) so can not try it, but...
If each integer is a half-step in the chromatic scale, does the script accept decimals to get exotic tuning in cents (such as an actual East Indian chromatic scale)?

Re: Any way to make a custom push scale
I doubt that's possible as the microtonal tuning needs to be applied at the instrument level. Also Midi is integer values only, no decimals.
Re: Any way to make a custom push scale
This is an interesting thread. Allow me to inquire deeper. I notice that when push is in DrumRack mode, it splits the grid into three areas (pad trigger, clip length, and step sequencer). I would like to a similar split, but with three different key arrangements. I don't mind them all being half-note intervals, but I want each set of 16 pads to be a separate scale octave.

I wrote a max for live patch called BiModal that allows for custom 7 note scales for Push. It also handles midi control of scale modes and keys. You can find it on my website (http://adamjberkowitz.com).

Pretty easy to find thanks. Store > Software > this post.
Yet to try it out, but sounds great.

Re: Any way to make a custom push scale
Is there a way to change the scales to have only six rows of buttons working, and have the second one from the top of the 6th be only a third higher, rather than a fourth like the rest?
As a guitar player, there are a couple of different scale settings that look just like a guitar neck - with that exception. I'd also prefer to scroll L-R to change octaves.

Re: Any way to make a custom push scale
For whoever is interested, I just wrote a max for live MIDI Retuning device that features some support for custom microtuned scales.
