Bernard,
In the new chord mode, you first select hold mode, then play a chord,
say "C,E,G". Then select Chord mode. Now press C and it plays C,G,E.
Press D and it plays D,F,A. But if you go back to hold mode and hit
chord C,F,G then go back to chord mode and hit C will play C,F,G then
hit D and it plays D,G,A and so on.
In other words, you use hold mode to determine the chord and then back
in chord mode you hit keys to progress the chord through the range of
the keyboard. I need to test if you can hit up to four (in double) or
eight (in single) notes in hold mode and chord mode will play that
chord. It certainly does four notes in double mode, I just didn't test
single mode.
Does that make chord mode more useful?
Mike.
