Menu

Arrr, this menu be givin' ye access t' every settin' contained within th' chordboard includin' th' followin', matey!

Chord Style

How th' chord pads be named, savvy? Th' chords themselves don't be changin' — only what be written on 'em.

• Numbers — th' Nashville-style 1 through 6.
• Roman — I through vi, with th' case tellin' ye major from minor.
• Solfege — Do through La.

Output

This settin's be determinin' whether th' chordboard's notes be leavin' th' app via MIDI note events, or stay local t' make sounds with an adjacent toneboard, blimey!

• Local — sends th' note events directly t' an adjacent toneboard.
• Off — no MIDI notes be emitted. Default.
• All Channels — sends MIDI notes out on all channels.
• Channel 1-16 — lets ye be choosin' an individual channel or combination o' channels.

Bass

What th' left hand be doin' underneath th' chord.

• Shape — Off, Root, Root + 5th or Root + Octave. Tappin' th' panel's Bass button cycles these; th' menu lets ye be jumpin' straight t' one.
• Rhythm — how th' bass note repeats: Hold t' sustain under th' chord, or Whole, Half, Quarter or Eighth notes.

Feel

Humanization — th' small imperfections that be keepin' a part from soundin' typed in, arrr!

• Timing — Pull t' sit behind th' beat, On fer dead centre (default), Push t' lean ahead o' it.
• Looseness — how much th' timin' be wanderin': Tight (default), Loose, or Sloppy.
• Dynamics — how much th' velocity be varyin': Even (default), Lively, or Wild.

Feel be switched on and off from th' panel's own Feel button without openin' th' menu.

Arp

Th' shape and speed o' th' arpeggio — th' same menu th' Arp button be offerin' on a long press.

Strum

Strum patterns, yer own custom patterns, and th' stagger o' th' rake — th' same menu th' Strum button be offerin' on a long press.

Quantize

How th' Chordboard be handlin' a pad ye tap slightly off th' beat, savvy?

• Quantize To — where a late tap be landin': th' next Beat, or th' next Measure.
• Leniency — th' grace window fer a tap that be arrivin' just early. Strict defers every late tap, while Tight, Standard and Loose be allowin' progressively more slop before th' chord be held back t' th' next beat.

Quantizin' itself be switched on and off from th' beat sync control on th' panel, so it ain't repeated here.

Remove

Removes th' chordboard from th' current. It be shown in red because it be changin' yer workspace but nothin' be lost, me hearty! Ye can be switchin' th' panel back on from Panels in th' AuxDock menu and it returns with all these settin's intact.

If th' chordboard be soundin' stiff, th' fix be usually in Feel rather than in th' pattern. Timin' on Pull with Looseness on Loose be th' difference between a part that be sittin' in th' song and one that be sittin' on top o' it, Avast!
