Chord memorizer parameters

Chord memorizer objects have the following parameters:

Channel field: All chord notes are sent to the defined channel.

Key Limit field: Notes within this range are mapped to chords. Notes outside the range are
passed through unaltered.

Transposition pop-up menu: The output chords are transposed by the amount set here. For
example, if you map C to a chord consisting of CEG, and set Transposition to 1, then C is
mapped to C#FG#.

Key field: The entire chord map is transposed by the amount set here. For example, if you map
C to CEG, and set Key to 1, then C# is mapped to C#FG#.

Cable Split checkbox: Select to send all notes triggered by a chord assignment to different
chord memorizer object outputs (different cables).

Chord Memorizer window

Double-clicking a chord memorizer opens the Chord Memorizer window, where you can set up
chord definitions.

The top keyboard is used to input and display the incoming note, and the lower keyboard
is used to input and display the assigned chords. Notes can be entered with the mouse, or a
MIDI keyboard.

Remember to only use notes that fall within the key limit range on the top keyboard. Also
remember that you can only define one chord for each of the 12 pitch classes (C, C#, D, and so
on). If necessary, you can use more than one chord memorizer object to define more chord types
for each pitch class.
