• The Add Color function adds a note two thirds above the highest note in the tertian chord structure.
If the Notes value in the Chord section is 3, you will get a regular triad (e.g. a C major). Adding a sixth above top will
mean adding a 9 (e.g. the note D). Similarly, if the Notes value in the Chord section is 4, this will add an 11; if the
Notes value in the Chord section is 5, this will add a 13.
q All three Add functions can be used together, simultaneously.
! If the added note is already used in the chord (due to inversions, open chord etc), the note is transposed up an-
other octave (or down, in case of Oct Down).
Alter
The Alter button is a momentary button that turns off as soon as you release the mouse button (like the Trig button
on The Echo, for example). It alters the chord slightly so that it goes outside the current scale. The result depends on
the Key (as set in the Scale section), whether the current scale is major or minor and what note you play (relative to
the Scale Key).
The chord is altered by having one of the chord notes changed. For example, a major chord may be changed to a mi-
nor chord, or vice versa.
