Layer Modes
You can play the keyboard and trigger the variations according to the selected layer
mode.
Velocity
The full velocity range (1 to 127) is divided into zones, according to the
number of layers you specified. For example, if you are using 2 variations, 2
velocity zones are used: 1 to 63 and 64 to 127. Playing a note with velocity
64 or higher triggers the second layer, while playing a softer note triggers the
first layer.
With the Velocity spread slider at the bottom right of the window, you can
change the velocity ranges of the layers.
Interval
In this mode Chorder plays one chord at a time. If the Interval mode is
selected, you trigger a layer by pressing 2 keys on your keyboard. The lower
key determines the base note for the chord. The layer number is determined
by the difference between the 2 keys. To select layer 1, press a key one
semitone higher than the base note, for layer 2, press a key two semitones
higher, and so on.
Single Mode
Select this if you want to use only 1 layer.
Empty Layers
If you enter fewer chords than layers are available for a key, these layers are filled
automatically when you deactivate the Learn mode.
The following applies:
• Empty layers are filled from bottom to top.
• If there are empty layers below the first layer with a chord, these are filled from
top to bottom.
An example: If you have a setup with 8 layers, and you enter the chord C in layer 3
and G7 in layer 7, you get the following result: chord C in layers 1 to 6 and G7 in
layers 7 and 8.
