Chord Type and the Chromatic Scale
The Chrom scale consists of every semitone in an octave. That 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 SCALE Type means that you can select virtually any
CHORD Type. The following chords are available and can be generated:
