questions working with the palette

Posted

Lately I've been interested in thinking about a particular verticle scale, the lydian augmented. I'd like synfire to only show this scale in the main palatte as default and use the circle of 5ths wheel on this scale alone Is that possible? 

 

Also when I add my verticle scale - and if i use the circle of 5ths wheel to modulate...the verticle scale disappears?

 

I understand that i can open a seperate palatte window and change the root of the scale there

Open the Catalog (from the Edit menu in Windows, Synfire menu on Mac). Find the scale and drop it on your palette (and remove other unwanted scales with Delete), or double-click it to open a new palette.

The circle of fifths works for traditional major/minor keys only. That's by definition.

If you are interested in transposing other scales a 5th up or 4th down, you would need to change its root. You can open multiple palettes with different roots.
