The light from the pads on the top row of your controller go off and the pads are disabled.
The other 12 pads trigger various chords. You can switch to another set of 12 chords by
selecting the 3/4: CHORD TYPE parameter and turning the Control encoder. These
chords are not bound to the minor pentatonic scale anymore, however they are still based
on the selected root note (indicated in the middle right of the display).
The last selected Scale is automatically assigned when a new Group is created.
5.5.3 Scale and Chord Parameters
 
This section describes the Scale and Chord engine and its parameters, and provides a list of all
scales and chords available on your controller.
General Notes on Scales and Chords
▪ The Scale and Chord parameters are the same for all Sound slots in a particular Group, you
can have different Scale and Chord parameters for each Group. The Scale and Chord pa-
rameters of  each Group  are saved  with  the  Project.  However, when  you save  a Group  the
Scale and Chord parameters are not saved with the Group.
▪ The Scale and Chord engine processes live input from the pads of your controller only. In-
put from third-party MIDI controllers and data recorded in the Pattern Editor are not proc-
essed by the Scale and Chord engine.
KOMPLETE  KONTROL  S-SERIES  owners:  Input  from  your  KOMPLETE  KONTROL  S-
SERIES keyboard can also be processed by the Scale and Chord engine. This is descri-
bed in section ↑15.5, Using the Perform Features.
