CHORD Type and the Chromatic Scale
The Chrom (chromatic) 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
chromatic 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 SCALE Type means that you can select virtually any
CHORD Type. The following chords are available and can be generated:
Chord Type Semitones Added above Played Note
Octave 12
Perf 4 (Perfect 4) 5
Perf 5 (Perfect 5) 7
Major 4 and 7
Minor 3 and 7
Sus 4 (Suspended 4) 5 and 7
Maj 7 (Major 7) 4, 7 and 11
Min 7 (Minor 7) 3, 7 and 10
