The Chord Trigger MIDI plug-in lets you trigger chords by playing a single MIDI key. The onscreen keyboards have two functions: the display of incoming and outgoing MIDI notes and the assignment of chords to keys. See Use Chord Trigger.
Single button: Assign a single chord to a trigger key. Play up and down the keyboard to transpose the memorized chord in relation to the trigger key. This mimics the Chord Memo or Note Stack feature found on many classic synthesizers.
Multi button: Assign a different chord to each key on the keyboard.
Upper keyboard: Shows incoming MIDI notes, represented by orange dots, and the blue chord trigger range. Drag the handles above the keyboard to set the chord trigger range. Notes that fall within this range are processed. Notes outside the range are not processed. You can also click notes in the chord trigger range to trigger chords.
Lower keyboard: Shows the resulting MIDI output—the chords triggered by incoming MIDI notes. The notes of each chord (in the chord trigger range) are displayed as blue dots. Chords outside the chord trigger range are displayed as orange dots.
Learn button: Turn on Learn mode. See Use Chord Trigger for details on using Learn mode.
Clear button: Erase a Trigger Key note and the corresponding chord. See Use Chord Trigger for details.
Chord Octave pop-up menu: Choose an octave transposition value for chord playback.
