The note interval is added onto the key of an incoming MIDI note, either from the KOM-
PLETE KONTROL S-Series 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.
When
CHORD Mode is set to Harm , the CHORD Type setting includes the following values:
Chord Type Interval Added to Played Note

1-4-7 4th and 7th
