19.2. CHORD 277
Tip: The velocity section's Retrigger option can be used in conjunction with Beat retriggering
to add rhythm to the dynamic slope.
19.2 Chord
The Chord Effect.
This effect assembles a chord, as the name implies, from each incoming note and up to six
others of user-dened pitch. The Shift 1-6 knobs allow selecting the pitch of the notes that
contribute to the chord from a range of +/- 36 semitones relative to the original. Setting
Shift 1 to +4 semitones and Shift 2 to +7 semitones, for example, yields a major chord in
which the incoming note is the root.
The Velocity control beneath each Shift knob makes further harmonic sculpting possible,
given that the instrument allows for changes in volume or timbre as function of velocity. It
is a relative control, with a range of 1 to 200 percent (100 percent dened as playing at a
velocity equal to that of the incoming MIDI note). Use the Velocity controls to do anything
from adding slight overtones to washing out most of the other chord elements.
The order in which pitches are added to the chord is inconsequential: The effect of a
+12 semitone shift added with the Shift 1 control, for example, is equal in effect to a +12
