12.6.1. SCALE Root Note
The first
SCALE
parameter is
Root Note
. On the keyboard, it is mapped to Knob 1 of the Control
section in Scale Edit mode. Setting the root note of a scale means deciding what key the scale will
begin with. The following notes of the scale depend on which scale pattern you select with the
SCALEType
parameter (see below). You can transpose any scale pattern up or down by selecting
a different
Root Note
.
The
Root Note
setting includes the following values:
•
C
,
C#
,
D
,
D#
,
E
,
F
,
F#
,
G

12.6.2. 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 KOM-
PLETE 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
TypeMajor
from the
default
BankMain
, 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.
If you are triggering an Instrument via an incoming MIDI pattern from the host, the notes of the
MIDI pattern will be mapped onto the closest keys belonging to the selected
Type
. This means
that, for example (with
Root Note
set to
C
) a MIDI pattern consisting of the notes
C
-
D
-
D#
will be
played back as such if
Type
is set to
Chromatic
(named
CHROM
on the keyboard) from
BankMain
, but instead as
C
-
D
-
E
if
Type
is set to
Major
.
