Chord Panels

March 13, 2009

Each sequencer channel has its own chord panel. Upon any note from the pattern sequencer, each pattern can play a 3-note chord, the output of which may be pitch mapped.

Chords and Pitch Mapping

Pitch mapping affects notes from the chord generator too, in different ways depending on the setting of PRE.

If pitch-map PRE is off (the default setting), all pitch transpositions are applied before they reach the chord generator, then pitch is remapped to the pitchmap key. So, the chord generator can never generate off-key notes.

If pitchmap PRE is on, the pitch remapping occurs before notes are sent to the modulation matrix and chord generator. As a result, a chord transposition of five semitones is always five semitones, regardless whether the resulting pitch is in key.

CHORDS ON

Enables the chord generator. When the chords are turned off, all the panel controls except the ON button are hidden from view.

P1, P2

Sets the pitch offset for the two additional chord notes. The transposition is added to the summed transposition from the pattern sequencer, bar sequencer, P.SHIFT, and any pitch modulations from MIDI or the modulation matrix.

The original note is pitch mapped according to the local settings. The chord offset is applied to that, then remapped according to global pitch map settings. For finer control, clone the channel and set pitch mappings locally.

V1, V2

Sets velocity for the two chord notes. The gain is multiplied by the gain from the pattern sequencer, bar sequencer, CH.GAIN, and any velocity modulations from MIDI or the modulation matrix. If the velocity is zero, there is no note output. If you only want one additional note, set the velocity to zero for the other note.
