7.3.6 Playing Notes with Smart Strips
Notes mode lets you play Sounds using the Smart Strips, for an inspiring playing experience.
Using the Smart Strips you can finger-strum chords in key with different scales to uncover new
melodic ideas. Playing notes on the Smart Strips feels like strumming a guitar and is very use-
ful with traditional sounds or even more stunning with more advanced synthetic sounds.
In Notes mode each of the eight strips represents a chord. This allows for perfect progressions
in the selected scale, and interesting musical gestures. It is possible to customize the prede-
fined chord sets or completely create your own using the controller’s click-pad matrix.
