16.8.3. CHORD Position
The third CHORD parameter is Position. On the keyboard, it is mapped to Knob 7 of the Control
section in Scale Edit mode. Use it to spread the notes of a chord generated from a single note and
to aid a more musical transition between chords.
The CHORD parameter Position.
The Position parameter is available when CHORDType is set to Harm or Chd Set and includes
the following values:
Position Description
Root The root position of the selected chord is always played.
-1 to -8 Decreasing Position with negative values moves the highest note of the current chord down by an octave, this
inverts the chord to a lower position in the selected scale.
+1 to +8 Increasing Position with positive values moves the lowest note of the current chord up by an octave, this in-
verts the chord to a higher position in the selected scale.
Auto This provides a more human feel in the transition from one chord to another. The notes used to form each
chord are automatically selected to provide the best inversion.
