15. SMART PLAY – 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 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 map-

ped 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 contained in the scale

that you selected.

15.1. A Note about Music Theory

KOMPLETE KONTROL has built-in scales and harmonies that you can use to play your Instru-

ments, Loops and One-shots with chords and arpeggiator sequences.

Scales

Traditionally music is built by combining elements of rhythm and harmony. There are many excep-

tions to this, but to understand the concepts of scales, chords and arpeggiator sequences let’s

start from there.

All notes and keys correspond to a pitch—or tone frequency. On a keyboard, each key typically

represents a semitone, meaning that it is a “half step” higher or lower in pitch than the next key

(though other tunings exist as well). To play melodies or chords that sound good together, notes

are usually grouped together in scales. In the Western music tradition, a scale typically covers sev-

en white keys and five black keys on a keyboard or piano: an octave. It is called so because the

eighth key that follows the seventh contiguous white key plays the same note as the first of the

seven. That key is called the root note. A scale then, is a certain combination of white and black

keys (each representing a semitone) within an octave. By playing only the keys belonging to some

scale, you are certain to stay “in key” within that scale. Important to note though, is that scales are

not made up by absolute note values, but rather consist of relative changes in pitch—or steps

along the scale. For example, the major scale consists of “whole step–whole step–half step–

whole step–whole step–whole step–half step,” which means that you can transpose the scale up

and down a keyboard; choose any root note you want and play the scale from there.
