1. Press SHIFT + SCALE to map the displays and knobs of the Control section to the SCALE
parameters:
2. To select a scale, turn Knob 2 (by default set to MAJOR) until you find a scale you like.
3. To switch on the scale you selected, press the SCALE button so it lights up.
3.3.2 Playing Chords
You can play chords in the usual way by pressing any number of keys simultaneously (or send
multiple MIDI notes simultaneously from your host application), but KOMPLETE KONTROL al-
so 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 your keyboard, follow these instructions:
1. Press SHIFT + SCALE to map the displays and knobs of the Control section to the SCALE
parameters:
2. To activate Chord Mode, set CHORD to HARM by turning Knob 5 (by default set to OFF).
3. Define the intervals of your chord with the Chord Type parameter that appears on the dis-
play below Knob 6 (by default set to 1-3-5).
4. To enable playing full chords, ensure that the SCALE button is lit.
3.3.3 Playing Arpeggiated Chords
In the tutorials above you learned to select a scale and to play full chords that follow the se-
lected scale. You can also play back a chord as an arpeggiated note sequence:
