Description

Chord Arranger consists of two devices: Chord Identifier and Remote Receiver

http://www.maxforlive.com/library/device.php?id=660

Together they form a basic Chord Arranger.

Chord Identifier detects the chord you play on the keyboard (a basic triad) and Remote Receiver get this chord to transpose the notes of midi clips, arpeggiators, step sequencers or incoming midi to the chord played according to the selected mode.

Chord Identifier must be placed in a midi track and Monitor set to In. Remote Receiver must be placed in any midi track you want to transpose.

To play chords, you must release all keyboard keys between chords. (Play a chord, release the keys, play another chord)

Based on two previous devices:

    Thanks, Wish it held all the chords rather than just major & minor, been waiting for a good chord reader.

    Finally I found, what i have looked for.
    But it does not match 100% my wish.
    It will be great to recognize a chord by pressing at least 3 keys. Now recognize the software a chord even by pressing 1 key.
    May be, it is possible to put a switch for "chord-selection" mode.

    Hey dasfaker,
    thanks for your great Devices! Do you see any possibility to make chord changes in real time? E. g. let's say you have a very long chord held (e. g. a pad) - could your Arranger change this chord while it's still playing?
    Thanks, Udo
