Chord Memorizer Object
A chord memorizer maps individual notes to chords. You can assign one chord to each
pitch class (to C, C#, D, and so on).
The octave of the incoming note determines the octave of the resulting chord. A chord
can have zero to twelve notes in it. (Zero and one note chords can be useful for
creating scale-filters and scale-correctors).
The easiest way to use a chord memorizer is to connect its output to the instrument
that you want to play the chords through, and assign it to an Arrange track. You can, of
course, place it anywhere else in the MIDI signal path.
To create a new chord memorizer:
m Choose New > Chord Memorizer from the local Environment menu (or use the New
Chord Memorizer key command).
Setting Chord Memorizer Parameters
You can set the following parameters in a chord memorizer’s Object Parameter box:
Channel
All chord notes will be sent to the defined channel.
Key Limit
Notes within this range are mapped to chords. Notes outside the range are passed
through unaltered.
Transposition
The output chords are transposed by the amount set here. Example: If you map C to a
chord consisting of CEG, and set Transposition to 1, then C will be mapped to C#FG#.
Key
The entire chord map is transposed by the amount set here. Example: If you map C to
CEG, and set Key to 1, then C# will be mapped to C#FG#.
Cable Split
Enable to send all notes triggered by a chord assignment to different chord memorizer
object outputs (different cables).
