The SCALE Type and KEY MODE parameters are not available when CHORD
Mode is set to Chd Set.
16.8.2. CHORD Type
The second CHORD parameter is Type. On the keyboard, it is mapped to Knob 6 of the Control
section in Scale Edit mode. Use it to define a chord that will be generated from a single note used
as input.
The CHORD parameter Type.
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 Harm or Chd Set,
as described in detail below.
CHORD Type, CHORD Mode Set to Harmonizer
The CHORD parameter Type, set value 1-3-5 (Mode set to Harm).
If CHORDMode is set to Harm, then CHORDType will offer you a selection of individual notes
present in the selected SCALEType. This means that for all scales except the 12-tone Chrom
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 the KOM-
PLETE KONTROL keyboard or from the host. For example, you can select to play a C minor triad
by setting Root Note to C, SCALEType to Minor, CHORDMode to Harm, and CHORDType to
1-3-5. If all of this seems complex, try setting a random value and use the keyboard’s Light Guide
to see what keys are active, inactive, and played back.
When CHORDMode is set to Harm, the CHORDType setting includes the following values:
