2.1.1.1. Note tracks

In a default session, all tracks are of the same type: they are Note tracks that are 256 steps long and
have four parameter layers. This kind of Note type tracks have one velocity layer (parameter layer B),
one length layer (parameter layer C, for note length, not track length!), one roll layer (parameter
layer D), and one note layer (parameter layer A). If you initialise a shorter Note track, you just get
more note layers (parameter layer E and onwards); if you want other kinds of parameter layers, you
have to set them manually on the EVENT page (see section 2.1.1.). Maximum length of 128 steps
gives you four extra note parameter layers compared to the default, allowing you to enter up to five
note chords, and that should already be enough for most purposes.

The setting Sustain on the MODE page is good to keep in mind when setting up a track to play chords
or long single notes. Sustain holds each note/chord until another one is played on the track, and this
spares you the trouble of having to set the length of each individual note/chord.

2.1.1.2. Chord tracks

Chord tracks are set up length and layer wise just like note tracks. However, in a chord track,
parameter layer A is a chord layer instead of a note layer. The chord layer doesn't take normal notes
as input, but instead a value from A-P to a-p (plus octave value from 0 to 3), each of which represents
a pre-defined chord. The list of the predefined chords is found below.

The advantage of this to using several note layers on a note type track to play chords is that you can
have the chord data on a single layer, even if the chords are made up of 4 notes. Because you only
need a single parameter layer for chords, you can increase your track's maximum length to 256
steps. A disadvantage is that the value names don't make musical sense, though the names of the
chords do appear on the right LCD (top row). A bigger disadvantage is that in order to play chords
with different root notes (and not just different chords of the same root note, like C major, Cm, Csus4
etc.), you need to set up a loopback track to transpose each chord. (See section 6.1.)

There are two chord parameter layers, called 'Chord' and 'Chrd2'.

List of predefined chords for layer 'Chord':
• A-C: Major I, Major II, Major III (transposed variants)
• D-F: Root note, 3rd note, 5th note (single notes)
• G,H: Root+3rd, Root+5th
• I-N: Maj6, Maj7, Maj8, Maj9, Maj10, Maj12 (4-note chords)
• O,P: Sus4 and Maj+
• a-c: Minor I, Minor II, Minor III (transposed variants)
• d-f: Root note, 3rdMin note, 5th note (single notes)
• g,h: Root+3ndMin, Root+5th
• i-n: Min6, Min7, Min8, Min9, Min10, Min12 (4-note chords)
• o-p: Co7 and Min+

List of predefined chords for layer 'Chrd2':
• A-C: Pwr5, Pwr8, R+mj3
• D-F: R+min3, Maj, Sus4
• G–I: Maj+, Maj6, Maj7
