I have two TR-8 units both running version 1.1.2 operating system and I can't figure out why the behavior of the Scale button is not the same on both units.
On one of the units I can cycle through the scales by pressing the Scale button.
On the other unit pressing the Scale button does not change the scale. Instead I have to hold the Scale button and turn the Tempo dial to change the scale.
Anyone have any ideas why the units are not behaving the same way?
Thanks.

Re: TR-8 Scale button
You can change this behaviour in the setup mode, press scale and it will cycle between the two modes. If it's lit, then it will only change via the tempo knob.

Re: TR-8 Scale button
thanks for the info. i must have changed it on my original TR-8 and forgot about it.
Re: TR-8 Scale button
interesting... when i enter setup mode i can change all of the settings except the Scale mode. the button is unlit and pressing it does nothing on this new TR-8.
my older TR-8 works fine. when i check the version numbers they both units display 112.

Re: TR-8 Scale button
Weird. Have you tried a factory reset on that unit? Just make sure you back anything up if you do tho' as it will put the default patterns back on it.
Re: TR-8 Scale button
it's a brand new unit ordered from sweetwater. when i took it out of the box yesterday and it already had the latest OS installed. i tried a factory reset as you suggested and that didn't help.
any more ideas?

Re: TR-8 Scale button
Just a thought, do you have the 7x7 option installed on your original unit? Wonder if that option is only available with that?
Re: TR-8 Scale button
yes, i have installed on the original unit. and it's not installed on the new unit. i'll install it on the new unit and see if that makes a difference.
Re: TR-8 Scale button
ok, that solved it.
i activated the 7x7 upgrade and i am now able to change the Scale button mode.
thanks much.
