TK. Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 It's maybe better to start with a simple example, not the one from the tutorial. Chords are already useful w/o the force-to-scale function (the tutorial is an advanced example). The chords can not only be transposed from an external keyboard or from a loopback track, but also with the static track transpose function (press MENU->Transpose) This is sufficient for most ambient and Berlin style tunes (especially when Minor chords are played ;-) Originally chords were only intended as some kind of quick composing help. For more sophisticated chord progressions it's better to use the recording functions - especially the recently introduced EDIT Recording function simplified this a lot! Best Regards, Thorsten.

borfo Posted September 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) Good points... I'll add a simpler example when I have some time. Feel free to edit any of these if you like, by the way - I'm just trying to flesh out a bunch of articles right now, I'm planning on improving them as time goes by. But I'm not at all attached to what I've written - people should feel free to edit them. I actually didn't realize there was a semitone option on the transpose page until right now - I thought it was just an octave shift. Added that option to the article.
