Chord
mode lets you use your fingered chords to activate your chosen themes. Themes typically
include background orchestration with a mix of up to five instruments, according to the chords
you finger and the fill you chose. There is no need to strum; your OMB guitar senses the chord
as you press the strings against the frets.

The OMB App comes preinstalled with a number of themes in many different music genres.
You may start by using the default theme (
A
).
Finger through a few chords on your guitar to get a feel for how the OMB App identifies the
chord (
B
) and responds to your fretwork.
Before you play—or while you are playing—you can decrease or increase the tempo (
C
) and
lock the tempo (
D
) so it stays uniform when you change to a different theme. Either use the
controls on either side of the present tempo, or tap your desired tempo, slow or fast, so the OMB
App will pick it up.
In the
Playback Control
pane (
E
) you can adjust the volume of any of the background
instruments (
F
) by moving the slider, or mute one or more instruments by tapping the
instrument icon (
G
). You may also use the
Master Playback
slider (
N
) to decrease or increase
the volume of all playback instruments simultaneously. The
Master Level
dial (
N
) controls the
volume of the device where the OMB App is installed.
