10.6.2 SCALE Bank and Type
The second and third
SCALE
parameters from the left are
Bank
and
Type
. On the keyboard,
they are mapped to Knob 2 and Knob 3 of the Control section in Scale Edit mode. Use them to
decide the scale pattern according to which the notes will be mapped onto the keys of the
KOMPLETE KONTROL keyboard. Each
Bank
consists of 15 thematically related scales, which
can be selected by using the
Type
control.
For example, using the default
Root Note
value
C
combined with the default
Type
Major
from
the default
Bank
Main
, you get the scale C major, which spans over one octave and contains
the notes C, D, E, F, G, A, and B (followed by C again). If instead you select
G
as your
Root Note
, the G major scale contains the notes G, A, B, C, D, E, and F# (followed by G
again). You will notice that the distance between each note follows the same pattern of
“whole step–whole step–half step–whole step–whole step–whole step–half step,” which is the
pattern of the
Major
scale.
