5.3 Pitch and Harmony.

Pitch

Pitch is the first step in building melodic elements. The Pitch function
assists in the assembly of notes into a group or chord. Notes available to
enter are based on the selected scale. The Pitch parameter knob can then
be used to transpose the notes up or down within the scale.

Pitch View Mode.

The pitch view is a unique function which visualises a chromatic keyboard on the
value buttons. To access, Hold (PITCH) or Double Press (PITCH) to lock the display.

Add or remove notes to/from the group by pressing [VBx] when in pitch view, The ‘x’
represents the value button for the note selected. Active notes are lit orange. Notes
which are not available in the selected scale cannot be selected.

A maximum of 8 notes can be transmitted from T-1 simultaneously.

Examples shown use the chromatic scale, which contains all 12 notes. A Tone is the
interval between whole notes, for example D to E or F to G. A semi-tone is the interval
between half notes, for example D to D# or E to F.
