CHORD Type and the Chromatic Scale
The
Chrom
scale consists of every semitone in an octave. This means that when you play every
white key and every black key of an octave up or down, you are playing the 12-step
Chrom
scale.
Since all semitones of an octave are present in the Scale, you can use all keys to form chords. In
turn, selecting
Chrom
as
SCALEType
means that you can select virtually any
CHORDType
. The
following chords are available and can be generated:
