I'm very confused on what the loading of new scales from the browser is actually doing. I've watched the tutorial on how to load a the scale from the browser, but I don't understand if the loaded scale "replaces" the scale of the key to the left of it - i.e. for instance, if you load a gypsy scale by pressing the R4 key next to the L4 chromatic scale key, does this actually "replace" the scale on the L4 key? If so, which key do I choose when I want the gypsy scale - the R4 or L4? And why the need for a secondary key to change the scale related to the primary key?

In trying this, when I load a scale by choosing R4, then go to play mode, then go back to scale mode, the R4 is lit green - if I press the L4 key, it ALSO turns green but the scale remains the gypsy scale. Furthermore, if I choose ANOTHER scale after doing this, it often will NOTchange to the correct scale.

Needless to say, I'm confused here. I also have no idea what the phrase "Browse scale for adjacent key" actually MEANS in the reference guide.

Note that everytime I say "key" above, I'm refering to the physical hardware key-button on the PICO.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

Both the scale browsing and the drummer loop browsing could use a concept similar to the "mode" key on the "Instrument/FX" page. That would free up the other 15 keys for scales or drummer loops.

But as it is, the right side buttons in the scale page browse to choose the scale for the matching left side button, which it sounds like you figured out.
