Transpose chords in the chord trigger range (Multi Chord mode only)
You may want to transpose triggered chords in some circumstances. For example, in Multi
Chord mode you can move the entire chord trigger range upward by two semitones to
change a chord progression in C-Major (starting with the C trigger key) into a progression
that plays in D-Major, starting with the D trigger key.
In MainStage, drag the center of the chord trigger range left or right.
All memorized chords are moved with the chord trigger range and are automatically
transposed.
Transpose chords by octaves
In MainStage, choose an octave transposition from the Chord Octave pop-up menu.
All memorized chords can be transposed up or down by up to four octaves.
Assign a chord to a key using the onscreen keyboard
1. In MainStage, click the Learn button.
The Learn button label changes to “Trigger Key” and the button begins to blink.
2. Click a trigger key—within the chord trigger range—on the upper keyboard.
The trigger key is set up for chord assignment. The Learn (Trigger Key) button label
changes to “Chord.
3. Click the note or notes you want to assign to the trigger key on the lower keyboard.
As you click each note, you hear it and any previously assigned notes in the chord.
Click assigned notes a second time to unassign or remove them from the chord.
4. To end chord assignment, click the Learn button.
You can repeat these steps to assign a different chord to each key in the chord trigger
range when in Multi Chord mode. In Single Chord mode, only one chord can be learned.
Assign a chord to a key using a MIDI keyboard
It can be faster to use your MIDI keyboard when assigning chords to trigger keys. The
Learn process can be started and stopped by playing an assigned note on your MIDI
keyboard.
1. In MainStage, click the disclosure triangle at the lower left to open the extended
parameters.
2. Choose the MIDI note number you want to use as a remote control for the Learn button
from the Learn Remote pop-up menu.
Choose Off if you no longer want to use a MIDI note as the Learn button remote control.
