- Page 10 MODES BASS Chorda’s Bass mode is monophonic, meaning only the most recent note plays at a given time (this is called “last-note priority” in synth-speak). By default, Bass Mode is tuned to a C major diatonic scale. The Bridge gives you access to six different intervals based on the root chord of the pad being pressed.
- Page 11 MODES CHORD In Chord mode, each of Chorda’s pads triggers multiple notes simultaneously to form a chord, always tuned to the key of the song. By default, Chord Mode is tuned in C major. Chords are a fun way to explore song structures, creating new ideas quickly. Like Bass, Chord mode is very responsive to Chorda’s gestures like Tilt and Radiate.
- Page 12 Lead is a polyphonic mode (meaning you can play different notes simultaneously). By default, the pads are tuned to a C Pentatonic Major scale. Every note you play on Chorda is always on key, so don’t be afraid to let loose and experimen –– you’ll always sound great.
