You can split the keyboard as a MIDI template, that is you can create the keyboard to send 2 different midi channels and ranges but this will only work in a DAW as you have guessed, KK only supports a single instrument.

I've been interested in picking it up again and have read some FAQs on the web that suggest a different way of learning than I've been exposed to...basically foregoing scales, individual notes, and complex fingerings, and focusing on learning chords (and patterns) to play full songs. This is interesting because it would allow me to play full songs pretty quickly.

Depends on your goals. A comprehensive mix of reading, playing by ear, improvisation and theory will take you the farthest but chords are a fun shortcut to good times jamming with friends or self-accompanying singing.

Learning chords before mastering scales can be a fast jump start because many songs only use 3 or 4 chords. Then, once you gain some confidence, you could consider learning scales one by one - ie. not all 12 at once. You would probably have mastered C, and perhaps F and G as well, so reviewing might be much easier than it seems. Try not to rush the process, enjoy learning one new scale each time until you feel comfortable playing in that key, then move on to another key... This way you would be able not only to jam, but also to solo.

I'm just starting to learn as well I think it's a good idea to make sure you get to play stuff you enjoy. Although learning your scales is important, I found it fun to look up the chords to songs I like and learn how to play them as well.

Most people who play piano/keyboards strictly in a popular setting (jazz, rock, country, Latin, etc) learn it exactly how you're describing: learn chords and chord voicings first. The only people who don't do it this way are the classical students (they learn scales and arpeggios.) But in my opinion the only thing useful about practicing scales is to improve your finger coordination and dexterity. It does little to help you learn how to make music, improvise, play with a band, etc. so it basically depends on what kind of music you want to play and in what type of setting. Also you should note that if you learn chords first, then you eventually pick up the right notes in the scales anyway, because the chord progressions tend to cover all the possible notes in the key. In other words, if you learn the chords and melody to some songs in the key of C, then you'll learn the C major scale without even trying.

If you keep all the notes of a scale the same but change the tonal centre, you create a new scale or mode. So, a mode is a scale created by establishing a new root note within a pre-existing scale. Modes are just a different way of thinking about scales and keys. Using modes allows us to allocate an individual mode/scale (I will use the two words interchangeably) to every single chord in a progression. In Jazz, this is a very convenient way of thinking, as we will see in a moment.

This is the basis of and the idea behind the Chord-Scale System. Every single chord in a progression is allocated a particular scale which can be used to improvise over that particular chord. Of course, there are many different scales you can use over a single chord, but we will get to that soon enough. So technically, when improvising, every time a we change chords we also change scales.

Notice that both scales contain all the notes that comprise the CMaj7 chord. Because the CMaj7 does not have a 9th, 11th or 13th we do not know what key it is in, and therefore we can use both scales over this chord. When thinking in terms of keys (rather than modes) we can say that the CMaj7 chord can be derived from both the key of C Major and G Major (C Lydian).

And so hopefully you now see, chords and scales are really the same thing. They are both comprised of the same limited number of notes. As I have mentioned in the past, all music theory can be broken down into notes and intervals. And things like scales and chords are just abstractions from the 12 notes of the octave.

The FL Studio keyboard piano provides you with an easy way to perform and record music without purchasing additional hardware. Whether this your first time using FL Studio or one of many projects you are tackling, the Fruity Loops keyboard piano...

I looked at the webpage you reference and there is no direct parallel to that functionality in Cubase, but, Cubase does offer a very powerful set of tools for Transposition, Chords and Chord Voicings. It has a built-in set of scales that is accessed from the Transpose Setup Dialogue.

Compile an encyclopedia of modes and scales from around the world, and make them available via a drop-down menu that also provides away to transpose, such that the musician can play C on the keyboard, and have it transposed to whatever pitch (s)he wants as the tonic.

I have zero knowledge of musictheory, but on my MPC x and in Korg Gadget there's this option to force palyed notes in a particulair scale. Even better, it also gives you chords belonging to a certai key/scale when playing one note.

Also, ScaleBud offers 40+ scales, one of the richest content on the market. Its music theory engine is open source, so that people can add/request more exotic/authentic scales and can use them in their apps as well

I mean, technically you can still do that with ScaleBud. Just select the key and scale you want to work/experiment in and press all the keys in your hardware/software MIDI keyboard in sliding fashion

Now when I press C2 and C3 key on my physical keyboard at the same time, both C maj and C min chords from the 2 different scales will play simultaneously. And any amount of chords can be overlapped this way.

It doesn't matter if your are advanced musician, music producer or just starting to play piano. This app is all about finding and understanding chords and scales to improve your piano, music theory and songwriting skills.

Obviously the OP-1 is a small keyboard, but the onboard metronome and the onboard 4-track is absolutely a beautiful thing here which can take you way beyond having a 88-key piano. I would take your song and practice just one section with just the left hand first (try to use a metronome often!). When you feel like you got it, put a metronome on and record it into the tape.

Wondering if there is a feature where I can set a song key, so that when I play my controller, it only sounds notes in the scale I choose (all non-scale note are effectively disabled).

And further to that, how about a feature that triggers chords corresponding to a scale, by playing only the root note ?

In my searching, I've discovered CAL Scripts that converts single notes to chords, but there are a mere 5 chord types to choose from, is there a depository somewhere with more chords that I can import ?

Thanks to all for the comments. It makes sense that it would be a function of a plugin rather than a function of the DAW.

I'm evaluating Cakewalk with a view to migrate from Reason. As some of you may be aware , Reason is now available as a VST. And there is a stock plugin called 'Scales & Chords' so I guess that's the best solution, although for the moment I don't own the current licence to allow Reason VST. The plugin suggested by others may be the interim solution.

For anyone interested, here is the Reason way of achieving what I was referring to in my opening post

-chords

On the Chords page, select a chord and see how to play it the selcted instrument. On the Scale page, select a scaleand see which notes and which chords are in the scale. On the Identify Chord and Indenty Scales pages, select notes and see which chord or scale is composed of the selected notes.

View chords and scales on the neck of a guitar or other stringed instrument. Mulitple finger positions per chord, a capo on any fret, pre defined tunings, and custom tuning are supported. The frets can be reversed for a lefthanded view of the neck.

In there, you'll find all the major, minor, sus, and 7th chords you can expect in Eb, along with the notes of 9 different scales all starting on Eb.

Or, say you need to quickly find an F major chord in 1st inversion. Again, just use the tab to flip to F and find all the information you need:

To answer the next the question that always comes up: Why are they called scales? The word scale comes from the Latin word la scala which means ladder. It makes sense because you can ascend and descend a scale just as you would a ladder.

Most of us that took traditional piano lessons have memories of repetitiously playing our scales on both hands moving through several octaves of the keyboard. But many of us ask ourselves: what is the purpose of this exercise?

An easy way to think of a key of music is to refer to them as a menu of seven different notes in which you draw from to play melodies and chords. This makes them sound interesting as well as fun and useful. 006ab0faaa
