Type
The second SCALE parameter from the left is Type. On the keyboard, it is mapped to Knob 2
of the Control section when SCALE EDIT mode is selected. Use it to decide the scale pattern
according to which the notes will be mapped onto the keys of your KOMPLETE KONTROL S-
SERIES keyboard.
For example, using the default Root Note value C combined with the default SCALE Type value
Major, 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 your host software, the
notes of the MIDI pattern will be mapped onto the closest keys belonging to the selected
SCALE 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 SCALE Type is set to Chromatic (named
CHROM on the keyboard), but instead as C-D-E if SCALE Type is set to Major.
