Chord Type
The last
Scale
parameter is
Chord Type
. On the keyboard, the
Chord Mode
setting is displayed
as the second
CHORD
parameter, mapped to Knob 6 of the Control section. Use it to define a
chord that will be generated from a single note used as input.
The Light Guide indicates the keys being played back in a chord via fully lit LEDs, while
active keys are half-lit and inactive keys are unlit.
The available
Chord Type
values depend on whether
Chord Mode
is set to
Harmonizer
or
Chord Set
, as described in detail below.

selected.
If
Chord Mode
is set to
Harmonizer
, then
Chord Type
will offer you a selection of individual
notes present in the selected
Scale Type
(see
). This means that for all
scales except the 12-tone
Chromatic
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 your KOM-
PLETE KONTROL S-SERIES keyboard or from your host software. For example, you can select
to play a C minor triad by setting
Root Note
to
C
,
Scale Type
to
Minor
,
Chord Mode
to
Harmo-
nizer
, and
Chord Type
to
1-3-5
. If all of this seems complex, try setting a random value and
use the KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES’ Light Guide to see what keys are active, inactive,
and played back.
