C c d d e f f g g a a b 104
For example using the default root note value c combined with the default typemajor from the default bankmain 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 104
If you are triggering an instrument via an incoming midi pattern from the host the notes of the midi pattern will be mapped onto the closest keys belonging to the selected 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 type is set to chromatic named chrom on the keyboard from bankmain but instead as c d e if type is set to major 104
Main scales 104

Scale root note 104
Smart play playing and editing scales and chords 104
The first scale parameter is root note on the keyboard it is mapped to knob 1 of the control section in scale edit mode setting the root note of a scale means deciding what key the scale will begin with the following notes of the scale depend on which scale pattern you select with the scaletype parameter see below you can transpose any scale pattern up or down by selecting a different root note 104
The following scales are available 104
The root note setting includes the following values 104
The second and third scale parameters from the left are bank and type on the keyboard they are mapped to knob 2 and knob 3 of the control section in scale edit mode use them to decide the scale pattern according to which the notes will be mapped onto the keys of the kom plete kontrol keyboard each bank consists of 15 thematically related scales which can be selected by using the type control 104

Smart play playing and editing scales and chords 109
The chord parameter mode 109
The first chord parameter is mode on the keyboard it is mapped to knob 5 of the control sec tion in scale edit mode use it to generate chords from single notes either from the kom plete kontrol keyboard or from incoming midi notes from the host 109
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 109
The root note is always mapped to the middle c key commonly called c3 if the selected scale consists of seven notes it matches the seven white keys of a single octave on the keyboard in this case the root note coincides with the key c across all octaves of the keyboard if instead the selected scale consists of more or less than seven notes it does not match the seven white keys of a single octave on the keyboard and the root note is shifted throughout adjacent octaves ac cordingly 109

The chord parameter position 112
The chrom scale consists of every semitone in an octave this 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 scaletype means that you can select virtually any chordtype the following chords are available and can be generated 112
The position parameter is available when chordtype is set to harm or chd set and includes the following values 112
The third chord parameter is position on the keyboard it is mapped to knob 7 of the control section in scale edit mode use it to spread the notes of a chord generated from a single note and to aid a more musical transition between chords 112
