CVilization lets you record two different kinds of user-scales: ‘Basic Scales’ and ‘Volt Map Scales’. While the former divides 1 V into 12 steps and maps each to a note within an octave, the latter maps a sequence of notes (voltages) across 1 Volt, in the order they were played. 8 preset scales can be edited, replaced and saved. You can restore the original factory scales at any time. User scales open up a host of creative possibilities: You can use a CV/Gate Keyboard or other chromatic sources to play your scales. Also, you can use LFOs, envelopes, sequencers, random CVs etc. to create sophisticated self-playing patches!
