3.1.2. Playing single notes

We'll first have a look at how chords are formed in Keyboard mode. In this mode the

KeyStep 37 will take the note you play as root note and add the notes of the chord type that

you've selected with the Type knob.

If for example you've selected Oct as Type and you play a C on the keyboard the Chord

generator will add a "C" one octave above it, two octaves above it and three octaves above

it. Turned fully counter-clockwise the Type knob is off. To hear the full string of notes that are

added in chord mode set the Notes knob fully clockwise, the Vel>Notes knob fully counter-

clockwise and the Strum knob to 64.

Set the Type knob to USr and play a single note on the keyboard. Slowly turning this knob

clockwise reveals twelve chords options. You'll hear the note retrigger whenever a new

chord appears in the LED. The chords you'll hear are:

USr, Oct, 5th, sus(pended), min(or), m(inor)7, m(inor)9, m(inor)11, M(ajor), M(ajor)7, M(ajor)9

and M(ajor)11.
