CHORD MEMORY

Although each step in a synth type pattern can hold polyphonic data, the CHORD
MEMORY function can be used to automatically create polyphonic playback over MIDI.
Use CHORD MEMORY to define a chord shape that will be played for each step.
CHORD MEMORY will use the programmed pitch in PITCH SLOT 1 as the basis for the
chord. Programmed pitches for PITCH 2,3 or 4 are not used for CHORD MEMORY.
To enter CHORD MEMORY mode, press and hold (or double click) the CHORD button.
The current chord shape will be shown on the mini-keyboard LEDs. If no chord is defined,
there will be no LEDs lit.
To define a new chord shape, while in CHORD MEMORY mode, click up to three of the
mini keyboard buttons. The lowest note represents the basis of the chord and will be
played with PITCH 1 from the programmed sequence. Additional notes in the chord
shape will be played as an interval from the base pitch, transposing the chord according
to the base pitch.
To remove or change the chord, click lit mini keyboard buttons to remove notes from the
chord. If there is only one lit note in the chord, or no lit notes, there will be no chord
played.
