2.3 User Scales
We have seen how various scales, also called modes or pitch sets,
are available for audition in the Scales window so long as the
Transposer is not overriding your setting, and how the enabled
Transposer calls on one of the stored scale sets at each bar. An
edit user scale button lets you compare, enter, and store a custom
Scale for your Werk by auditioning and entering seven chromatic
pitches from the set of twelve. maxWerk calls on the Werk's User
Scale information at every stored Transposer Scale value of 0.

Because the musical structure of maxWerk depends upon triadic
interval harmonies, if you make chordal changes based simply on
transpositions of the Tonic, any generated note patterns, Melody
Phrases, and Improv patterns which refer to unusual or user-
created Scales may produce more dissonances than those based
on the Scales numbered 1 through 7. Note too that in order to make
pentatonic music, you can start from either a Major or Natural-Minor
Scale, and simply avoid the use of steps 4 and 7 when you create
step patterns and when you transpose Tonics or (+)Notes.

2.4 Loop Magic 1
As you've seen, the displays referred to throughout this Guide are
vertical bar graphs that represent data patterns read sequentially in
a repeating fashion, into which you can place values with the
mouse. There are four such editable displays in the Note Editor, two
in the Drum Editor, and one in each of the Control and Bend
windows.

Resetting note data to default values is differentiated by parameter
groups for convenience, and this does not affect the loop's number
of bars or step resolution. At the top right corner of the loop editing
windows there is a clear all notes button. In the Offset Note Lines
section, each of the three lines has its own clear-button whose color
reflects the presence of settings for that line, and others to reset all
routings and velocities. Use the clear all 3 offsets button to restore
groups for convenience, and this does not affect the loop's number
