  • "MMin" Melodic minor (Jazz, Film scoring)
  • "MaPE" Major pentatonic
  • "MiPE" Minor pentatonic
  • "hirA" Hirajoshi
  • "Miya" In scale / Miyako-bushi
  • Insen
  • Iwato
  • Yo
  • Dorian
  • Phrygian
  • Mixolidyan
  • Locrian
  • Flamenco
  • Gypsy
  • Half diminished
  • Persian
  • Ukrainian
  • "TE.PO" TE PO scale (firmware 2817+)
  • Chromatic (firmware 2817+)

(firmware 2421+) You may set the "free chord" ('FrE.C' under 4/Ar) to enable free chord root note selection and playback on the Cd track outside of the selected scale. If set to 'no', any chord root note may be selected, but will be forced to conform to the selected scale.
