The TRACK/STATUS Buttons in Chrd Mode

When Harmony creates a chord, it roots it on the TRACK/STATUS button note you
press after selecting the desired chord form with TRACK/STATUS Buttons 13-17/18.
You must install at least one optional VS8F-2 effect board to create Harmony chords,
and you must assign that board to Harmony (Page 328).
