Chorder
Using Layers
The Layers pop-up menu at the bottom right of the window allows you to set up chord
variations in the layer display above the keyboard. This works with all three modes and
provides up to 8 variations for each assignable key, that is, a maximum of 8 different chords
in Global Key mode, 12 x 8 chords in One Octave mode and 128 x 8 chords in All Keys mode.
The different layers can be triggered by velocity or interval.
PROCEDURE
1. On the Layers pop-up menu, select Velocity or Interval. Set this to Single Mode if you
want to set up only one chord per key.
2. Use the slider below the Layers pop-up menu to specify how many variations you want
to use.
3. Enter the chords.
RESULT
Now you can play the keyboard and trigger the variations according to the selected layer
mode.

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.
