General Notes on the Perform Features on Your KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES Keyboard
▪
The Perform features (Scale, Chord, and Arp) on your KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES
keyboard and on controllers from the MASCHINE family are very similar and share most of
their parameters: If you modify a shared parameter on a device, your changes will be auto-
matically mirrored on the other device(s).
▪
Although the Perform features on your keyboard and on MASCHINE controllers are very
similar and share most of their parameters, they can be used independently from each other:
For example, you can set up and activate scales, chords, and/or arpeggios on your keyboard
without affecting the current pad behavior, mode and displays on your MASCHINE control-
ler, and inversely.
▪
The Scale, Chord, and Arp features are not available on your keyboard if it is focused on a
MASCHINE instance running as a plug-in in a host environment. In this case, the
SCALE
and
ARP
buttons are off and disabled, and pressing
SHIFT
+
SCALE
/
SHIFT
+
ARP
will
not work either.
Note that this does not affect the Perform features on controllers from the MASCHINE
family. These are available when MASCHINE is running both as a standalone application
and as a plug-in in a host.
▪
The Scale, Chord, and Arp parameters cannot be modulated or automated in MASCHINE.
Setting Up Scales and Chords on Your Keyboard
On your KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES keyboard:
►
Press
SCALE
to enable or disable the Scale and Chord engine.
The
SCALE
button is fully lit when the Scale and Chord engine is enabled, otherwise it is dimly
lit.
The state of the
SCALE
button and of the Scale and Chord engine is saved for each Group sep-
arately in the Project. It is independent of the state of the Scale and Chord engine on any con-
troller from the MASCHINE family (but the Scale and Chord parameters are synchronized be-
tween all devices). If you disconnect and re-connect your keyboard, the state of the Scale and
Chord engine and
SCALE
button is recalled for each Group.
