I have sussed how the Chords Sequencer works in Fixed mode, but some bits of the Transp mode have got me flummoxed:
1) In Chords- Transpose mode - Sequencer, Up/Down/UpDn all seem to be the same - pitch the chord up a bit. (In Fixed mode they play the chord notes individually in sequence. Can someone let me know what is meant to happen in Transpose mode, and how to do it? 2) In Chords Transpose mode-Sequencer Off, if you overlap the trigger notes, at some positions the second one does not play at all. Huh? TIA | |

Hi
1) In transpose mode, you must press more then one key to make the arp work. As an exampel, enable only the root note and press a chord... 2) I'm not sure what you mean by overlapping trigger notes? cheers jorgen | |

Thank you for the guidance on the Chords Transpose mode, I can now see how the Transpose mode in the Chords comp works for Sequencer Up: -- if notes are played at the same time, then -- they are taken in ascending order, -- a chord is generated according to the chord pattern -- that chord is played according to the next step in the Chords Sequencer pattern. EDIT- Paragraph removed to a new Posting - Chords Transpose bug? . I had also assumed that the Sequence in Transpose mode would work in a similar way to Fixed mode: That is: If Sequence mode is Off -- while the trigger key is received -- generate the chord according to the chord pattern -- play it according to the next stage in the Chords Sequencer pattern. And, for Sequence Up: -- take each note received by Chords -- transpose it to the next note in the chord pattern -- play it according to thee next stage in the Chords Sequencer pattern. Food for thought? ========== My apologies, I should have provided some details abut the issue with overlapping notes. In my case, the Chords comp has a chord pattern of one note at -3 semitones, The Chords Seq is Off, and the Chord Seq pattern is 4 steps on, 2 steps off, 1 step on, 1 step off. If you play a C2 for 8 beats and a G2 for 4 beats, starting at beat 5, then the second note was ignored by the Chords. But if you play a C2 for 8 beats and a G2 for 4 beats, starting at beat 6, then the Chords Sequencer processes both notes (keeping the Sequencer pattern in sync). (I can email a snapshot of this, showing a MIDI Part recorded from the Chords comp if that will help). = = = = = = PS I realise that these points are minor compared to the other work you are doing, so please do not let me distract you. PPS - Anyone who has read down this far deserves a medal! | |
