Chorder
a note in a different octave, you hear a transposed version of the chords set up for
this key.
Global Key
In this mode, you can set up chords for a single key only. These chords (that you
recorded on C3) are then played by all keys on the keyboard, but transposed
according to the note you play.
The Chord Indicator Lane
At the top of the keyboard display, you find a thin lane with a small rectangle for each key that
you can use to record a chord. These rectangles are shown in blue for all keys that already have
chords assigned to them.
NOTE
In Global Key mode, the C3 key has a special marking, because this is the only key used in this
mode.
