13 Playing and Editing Scales and Chords
KOMPLETE KONTROL’s Scale engine comes equipped with a vast amount of scales that you
can select and use to play your Instruments. This opens up possibilities to play an Instrument
such as a piano according to, e.g., the minor pentatonic scale without hitting a “false” note. In
Chord mode you can use the provided scales to combine individual note harmonies into
chords. Combined with the Arpeggiator, you can even play scales automatically simply by
pressing down a key on the KOMPLETE KONTROL S-Series keyboard or receiving an incoming
MIDI note.
When you select a scale in the Perform panel and switch the Scale engine on, the scale gets
mapped onto the keyboard and is reflected by the Light Guide. This means that regardless of
what keys you actually press down on the keyboard—or what MIDI notes you send from the
host—the notes that are being played back are always mapped onto the closest notes con-
tained in the scale that you selected.
