of the ARABIC SCALE section.
The LED of the buttons pressed lights up to indicate which notes of the
scale are affected.
2. Play on the keyboard and, while playing, activate or deactivate the
Arabic Scale buttons at will.
If you press an active button (LED on), it will be cancelled (the LED indicator
goes off).
You can also modify an active preset Arabic Scale by adding one or more
Arabic notes to the currently selected scale.
If, after modifying a preset Arabic Scale, you press a Memory button (1, 2,
3 or 4), you will cancel the current scale and recall a preset scale.
