8.1.2 POLY CHORD SWITCH

The DeepMind 12 POLY CHORD switch allows you to program multiple chords to
memory. The chords can be assigned to any of the 49 physical keys.

POLY CHORD SCREEN UPPER SECTION

On the upper section of the POLY CHORD screen there is a visual representation
of the four physical octaves of the keyboard. The words next to the keyboard
describe what is shown (NOTE or TRIG). The bracket shows the zoom position for
the lower section. The number in the top left hand corner shows the MIDI note
number. The number in the top right hand corner indicates how much of the
available memory has been used.
POLY CHORD SCREEN LOWER SECTION
On the lower section of the POLY CHORD screen there is a visual representation
of the keyboard which is zoomed to the two octaves represented by the vertical
brackets on the top section. The letter T is shown on all trigger keys, i.e. the
keys which are programmed to play a chord when pressed. The small indicator
dots on the keys show the currently played notes in the selected chord or during
recording.
POLY CHORD SCREEN SOFT KEYS
At the bottom of the POLY CHORD page you will see three areas which indicate
the software function of the PROG, GLOBAL and WRITE switches.
PROG switch - Always performs the EXIT function and returns you to the
PROG screen.
GLOBAL switch - Used to RECORD (add or overwite) a new POLY CHORD.
Otherwise the area above the switch is used to show the status of the POLY
CHORD programming function i.e. Armed, Learning, or Press Trigger.
WRITE switch - Used to DELETE a chord, but only once a chord is programmed
(otherwise this area will be blank and the switch will not be illuminated) Note:
The CHORD is stored in persistent memory and will be retained through a power
cycle.
Note: The CHORD memory can also be cleared using the bootloader menu
described later in this document.
POLY CHORD PROGRAMMING - To program a chord, press the POLY CHORD
switch (or the RECORD switch if replacing or adding an existing chord). The POLY
CHORD switch will begin double fl ashing and you will then see the screen with
the message "Armed" as shown below :
While the message "Armed" is shown, hold the keys of the chord down and you
will then see the screen with the message "Learning" below:
At this point you can add additional notes to the chord. Once you have all the keys
required held down simultaneously you can release them all. The chord will then
be ready to be assigned and the POLY CHORD switch will fl ash slowly.
Note: The POLY CHORD size is limited to 12 notes.
You will see a message to "Press Trigger" as shown below:
Now press the root note key for the chord to be assigned to. Once you press a key,
the chord you played will be assigned to that key. The POLY CHORD switch will
then stay illuminated (no fl ashing) and the POLY CHORD mode will be active for
the entire keyboard (including any OCTAVE shift applied).
The screen will now show the following:
Now playing any of the trigger keys will play the chords assigned to the
respective keys.
