Assigning Notes to the Tetrapad ‘Keyboard’ w/Chord
The following steps discuss using the Chord feature to assign note values to Tetrapad “keys” and
outputs:
1. Select whether you want Tetrapad split into 4, 8, 12 or 16 virtual ‘keys’ using the Mode SETUP
Menu, as described in
​ Setting the Number of Virtual Keys ​ .
2. In the same Mode SETUP Menu, tell Tetrapad to assign notes ​ w/Chords ​ , as described in
Choosing a Note Assignment Method ​ .
3. Touch and release one of the 4, 8, 12 or 16 virtual ‘keys’ on the Tetrapad ‘keyboard’.
This selects the ‘keyboard key’ for which you will define note values. The LEDs beneath the
key you just touched (the ‘active’ key) are brighter than the other keys.
4. Turn Encoder 1 to set the ​ root note ​ of the chord.
5. Press-and-Turn Encoder 1 to set the chord’s ​ octave ​ .
6. Turn Encoder 2 to scroll through different ​ chords ​ in Tetrapad’s library.
Selecting different chords changes the note assignments for Outs 2, 3 and 4. Tetrapad’s
internal library contains the following 12 chords (plus a Unison mode):
