Description

This is a device for playing chords in an easy and intuitive way using only 2 octave or higher MIDI keys.

You can pursue the sound of chords at will, distancing yourself a little from music theory.

The left hand selects the chord and the right hand plays the note.

You can play various kinds of chords by pressing a major key (C2) or a minor key (C#2) and another key at the same time.

For example: C2+D2=major7 , C#2+D#2=minor7 , D#2+G2=7sus4 , C2+D2+F2=major9th

– C2 to B2 are chord selection keys, which can be changed in the keymap window.

– Three chord of any configuration can be added.

– The inversion key allows temporary inversion.

– Increasing the value of scatter will randomly delay the start of the note.
