In Notes mode each of the eight strips represents a chord. This allows for perfect progressions
in the selected scale, and interesting musical gestures. It is possible to customize the prede-
fined chord sets or completely create your own using the controller’s click-pad matrix.
Notes mode on the MASCHINE JAM controller.
Notes mode has three different types of input:
▪ Guitar: This allows you to use the Smart Strips to strum a set number of notes based on the
selected scale. The notes are based on Guitar barre chords, and each note that makes up
the  chord  is  illuminated  on  the  click-pad  matrix.  You  can  press  the  click-pads  to  modify
the predefined chord by adding or removing notes to each column. Use in conjunction with
the Chord settings to play whole chords instead of single notes.
