Use the Chord fields to determine what chord type will play when pressing a pad. The resulting chord will use those scale
degrees based off of the pad's root note. You can use this only when the Type is set to Chords or Chromatic Chords.
When set to Chords, the available chords are:
1-3-5 (major/minor)
1-4-5 (sus4)
1-2-5 (sus2)
When set to Chromatic Chords, the available chords are:
Major
Minor
Sus2
Sus4
Use the Banks selector to determine how the notes are mapped across the pad banks.
Start on Root: Pad 01 will always be the root note of the scale in every pad bank.
Continuous: Pad 01 of one bank is always one scale degree higher than Pad 16 of the previous bank.
You can use the buttons at the bottom of the touchscreen to quickly select different Types and Chords:
