, set value
1-3-5
(
Mode
set to
Harm
).
If
CHORD
Mode
is set to
Harm
, then
CHORD
Type
will offer you a selection of individual notes
present in the selected
SCALE
Type
. This means that for all scales except the 12-tone
Chrom
scale (see further below), you can select the interval of notes that will make up your chord.
The note interval is added onto the key of an incoming MIDI note, either from the KOM-
PLETE KONTROL keyboard or from the host. For example, you can select to play a C minor
triad by setting
Root Note
to
C
,
SCALE
Type
to
Minor
,
CHORD
Mode
to
Harm
, and
CHORD
Type
to
1-3-5
. If all of this seems complex, try setting a random value and use the keyboard’s
Light Guide to see what keys are active, inactive, and played back.
