MIDIdocs (SEQV4): Chords (discussion thread)

[borfo]

This is the discussion thread for the MIDIdocs article "Chords" in the Wiki.

 

Feel free to ask questions or make comments or corrections on the article in this thread.

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.

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.
