2. To select a scale, turn Knob 2 (BANK, by default set to MAIN) and Knob 3 (TYPE, by de-
fault set to MAJOR) until you find a scale you like.
3. To play the scale you selected, ensure that the SCALE button is lit.
13.3 Playing Chords
You can play chords in the usual way by pressing any number of keys simultaneously (or send
multiple MIDI notes simultaneously from the host), but KOMPLETE KONTROL also lets you
create and play chords by using Smart Play.
To play multiple notes in a chord simultaneously, the loaded Instrument must be able to
handle polyphony.
To play a chord by only pressing a single key on the keyboard, follow these instructions:
1. Press Edit (SHIFT + SCALE) to map the displays and knobs of the Control section to the
Scale engine parameters.
2. To activate Chord mode, set MODE to HARM by turning Knob 5 (by default set to OFF).
3. Define the intervals of your chord with the TYPE parameter by turning Knob 6 (by default
set to 1-3-5).
4. To enable playing full chords, ensure that the SCALE button is lit.
13.4 Editing Scales and Chords
You have the possibility to tailor the scales and chords to your liking using the Scale engine
parameters.
