The Main Section
In the Main section you find a couple of global settings: The Chord Memory,
the Sound Engines Precision, the Amount of Voices, MIDI Learn, Undo and
Redo, the Bank and Preset Name, Master Volume and some more.
Chord Memory
The Chord (Chord Memory) function allows you to record chords and
include them with the current preset. The idea behind it is, to trigger
multiple notes which can be interesting sound effects, often when using the
Arpeggiator to break this chord into many, successively played notes.
The Chord button has three states:
– the left state (single note), means Chord memory is Off
– the middle state (a red chord) means you are in Learn mode and
can now record a simple two notes chord up to a 8 note complex
chord.
– The right state (a blue chord) means that Chord memory is On,
turning every Note message into the chord which was previously
recorded.
Note that the order in which notes are played in Learn Mode is important:
the first note is taken as the root or basic note and all successive notes are
stored by interval relative to this first note. For example, if you learn the
chord C-E-G by actually playing the E first, the C is stored as -4 semitones
and the G as +3 semitones.
This means that if you play a C note when in Play mode after recording the
chord from the above example, the resulting chord will be G#-C-D#.
