CHORD Type and the Chromatic Scale

The

Chrom

scale consists of every semitone in an octave. That means that when you play every

white key and every black key of an octave up or down, you are playing the 12-step

Chrom

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:
