Chord Trigger Switches
CHORD ASSIGN
Four chord trigger switches are located below the
display.
You can use these to trigger single notes or chords (up
to eight notes).
These are an effective way to play chords or to play the
arpeggiator. You can assign the notes and velocities
transmitted by each switch.
Playing the chord trigger switches
1. Press a chord trigger switch.
One or more notes of the specified note number and
velocity will be transmitted according to the
assignment of that switch.
The assigned note numbers will also be transmitted
when you use CHORD ASSIGN to assign notes to a
switch.

switches
You can assign single notes and chords to the chord
trigger switches in three different ways.

as you like to play the phrase.
3. Press the chord trigger switch to which you'd like
to assign the notes.
After pressing the switch, you're done!

notes this way. For details, please see "1–8: Chord

Copying/merging chord trigger switches
In the same way as you can assign notes to a chord
trigger switch by pressing keys on the keyboard, you
can also copy the existing assignments from another
chord trigger switch by simply pressing that switch.
You're also free to copy the assignments of two or more
switches together (up to eight notes). For details,
please see "Copying notes from one chord trigger
switch to another" on page 20 of the Parameter Guide.
