User Manual

The note interval is added onto the key of an incoming MIDI note, either from the click-pad
matrix or from your host software. For example, you can select to play a C minor triad by set-
ting Root Note to C, SCALE Type to Minor, CHORD Mode to Harm, and CHORD Type to 1-3-5.
If all of this seems complex, try setting a random value and use the click-pad matrix to see
what notes are active, inactive, and played back.
When CHORD Mode is set to Harm, the CHORD Type setting includes the following values:
Chord Type Interval Added to Played Note
Octave Octave
1-3 3rd
1-5 5th
1-3-5 3rd and 5th
1-4-5 4th and 5th
1-3-5-7 3rd, 5th and 7th
1-4-7 4th and 7th
Chord Type, Chord Mode Set to Chord Set
If CHORD Mode is set to Chd Set and, for example, the Root Note is set to C, then the CHORD
Type menu presents you with a list of selectable chords. Values are, e.g., Maj 4 and Min 7,
which would generate a major and minor chord, respectively—both using C as the chord’s root
note.
When CHORD Mode is set to Chd Set, the CHORD Type setting includes the following values:
▪ Maj 1-8
▪ Min 1-8
