15.6.2 SCALE Bank and Type

The second and third

SCALE

parameters from the left are

Bank

and

Type

. On the keyboard,

they are mapped to Knob 2 and Knob 3 of the Control section in Scale Edit mode. Use them to
decide the scale pattern according to which the notes will be mapped onto the keys of the

KOMPLETE KONTROL keyboard. Each

Bank

consists of 15 thematically related scales, which

can be selected by using the

Type

control.

For example, using the default

Root Note

value

C

combined with the default

Type

Major

from

the default

Bank

Main

, you get the scale C major, which spans over one octave and contains

the notes C, D, E, F, G, A, and B (followed by C again). If instead you select

G

as your

Root Note

, the G major scale contains the notes G, A, B, C, D, E, and F# (followed by G

again). You will notice that the distance between each note follows the same pattern of
“whole step–whole step–half step–whole step–whole step–whole step–half step,” which is the
pattern of the

Major

scale.
