Use the Chord fields to determine what chord type will play when pressing a pad. The resulting chord
will use those scale degrees based off of the pad’s root note. You can use this only when the Type is set
to Chords or Chromatic Chords.
When set to Chords, the available chords are:
1-3-5 (major/minor) 1-3-5-7 (major7/minor7)
1-4-5 (sus4) 1-3-5-7b (dominant)
1-2-5 (sus2)
When set to Chromatic Chords, the available chords are:
Major Major7 Augmented
Minor Minor7 Diminished
Sus2 Major9
Sus4 Minor9
