I guess it might be possible if the sound bank was prepared for such sound scale, and bioera can read custom sound bank, but I wouldn`t know how to do this at this moment. This would be a good question on java midi forum. Best Regards Jarek

If this is no longer relevant or has been answered I apologize. I was able to implement a major scale over two octaves so I suspect any other scale is possible as well. To do this is used the sequencer and entered the notes (starting at middle C) that I wanted played. I set the sequencer to random all. Now I get a nice mixture of notes from that scale George

An other element I use is the \"Scalar Mapper Element\" where you can link defined incoming values exactly to the defined notes within a soundscale. Robert

I have only been using/learning BioEra for a few weeks and am still getting familiar with the functions of all the various elements. THe software I use now has the ability to turn midi on/off rapidly as thresholds are met or not. I have been trying to find a way to do that with little success. I can get close but there are still some times when thresholds are crossed quickly that it does not work. If anyone has found a way to do this I would love to hear. I have the major scale working now and the timing of the notes down but the on off eludes me George

Let me know if there is any problem. Jarek

I made a small modification to the design so I could implement the random playing of notes from a scale. I will send it to you back channel so you can post it for others to see. George
