7. Chord Mode
7.1 Overview
Chord Mode allows you to explore, build, and save complex chords easily. Chord Mode’s layout is
designed specifically for playing chords that always work together.
7.1.A – Chord Mode layout
7.2 Triads
The orange column of pads in Chord Mode represents triads. Pressing one of these pads will play
back three notes that form a triad, such as C, E and G to form a C Major chord. As you progress
vertically up the grid, the root note will rise, but the notes of the triads will remain within the currently
viewed octave of the scale. This ensures a natural sounding voicing of the chords within the octave.
7.3 The Note Area
The left-hand column of the Note Area represents the currently selected scale (scales may be selected
in the Note Mode Settings which are shared between Note and Chord Mode). Playing from the
bottom left pad to the top left pad will play through the notes of the scale (if the scale has fewer than
7-notes, the octave will be reached on the 6th or 7th pad).
