The 128 notes are divided in 8 pages of 16 (or fewer) notes each. The note selector is always showing one of those pages (think of the Chain scroller in Drum Maschine), which one depends on which page the bottommost visible note falls into.

The note selector button corresponding to the bottommost visible note is bright white. If more notes are visible in the step view, their buttons will be dim white. Note that because the step grid is laid out top-down vertically (high notes on top, low on bottom, matching the clip view in the app) and the note buttons are left-right and down-up (as labeled on the Jam), this can feel backwards.

**Press and hold NOTE** to see the page selector (SCENE buttons), higher notes are on the right like on a piano (if your brain isn't hurting yet, this is opposite of how scenes work with clips). Unlike Note selector that is fixed to a page, page selector will indicate if current note window straddles two pages, pages with visible content will be in dim white. Pressing a button always scrolls bottom note row to the bottom of that page. If the grid is aligned exactly to the beginning of a page, its page button will be bright white.

Seeing how the Drum Machine lays out its banks, in chromatic scale the first page is 4 notes while the rest are 16. This is a compromise where the page layout matches Drum Machines (but you cannot access the last page with Scene buttons because there are only 8 — can still scroll though). In non-chromatic mode all pages are 16 notes.
