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.
For two examples of the Easy mode mappings in Major and Minor, see below.

12.8. Setting the CHORD Parameters
12.8.1. CHORD Mode
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.
The CHORD parameter Mode.
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.
CHORDMode has one inactive (Off) and two active states, which are described in detail below:
• Off
• Harm
• Chd Set
