Style Chord

- The first column on the left provides access to the settings of the chords. You may select NORMAL/RETRIGGER modes for the five parts of the Style chords (Chord1, Chord2 Chord3, Chord4, Chord5).
- In Normal mode a chord plays during the basic measure as programmed; in Retrigger mode the chord is repeated at each change of tone.
- In Close mode the chords adapt the intervals to the next notes following the rules of conventional harmony.
- In Parallel mode the notes of the chords programmed are transposed in parallel without changing the intervals.
- SD9 Arranger also includes three new mode for Chord harmonic variations on the style of Jazz, Folk and Blues. Each of these modes featuring accompaniment and harmonies typical of the musical styles. A sophisticated musical algorithm controls Chord progression and change intervals arrangement depending Chord rule in terms of Tonic (root) subdominant (4th) or dominant (5th).
- Reset of Root recognition (Tonic) is done by pressing Chord's notes with maximum dynamic.
At the centre of the display you will find the MODE function that may be set on EASY1,2,3, or FINGER 1,2 mode
