6. CHORD MODE
KeyLab mkII features an advanced Chord mode which lets you perform chords on the
keyboard or the pads using only one finger.
6.1. Overview of Chord mode
The Chord button [p.55] can record and recall a single chord, which can then be played on
the keyboard.
The Chord button chord is not preserved when the KeyLab mkII is disconnected from a
power source, but the pads [p.56] can store up to 32 Chords in two different Chord modes
(Chord Memory [p.56] and Chord Transpose [p.56]).
The three buttons immediately to the left of the pads are the Pad mode buttons. The bottom
two configure the pads to store and play chords (Chord Memory) or store and recall chords
for the keyboard to play (Chord Transpose).
6.1.1. Three ways to play chords
Here's an overview of how the Chord button, the keyboard, and the pads interact in each of
the Pad modes:
