Hi @rrahim

Re Assigning pads to specific keys on a keyboard is callled binding. This is addressed in the tutorial [Using Midi Clips to Control Scaler](https://forum.scalermusic.com/t/using-midi-clips-to-control-scaler/10447).

Re Single notes, can you clarify if you are having this issue with Audio or Midi detection, please? In my experience the detection does detect single notes. To test this you might try detecting a piece of music that consists of a single melody line.

Hope this helps
