▪ Chords: This allows you to use the Smart Strips to strum a predefined chord based on the
selected scale. The notes are based on keyboard triad 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 note of a chord.
▪ User: This allows you to use the Smart Strips to strum a set number of notes based on the
notes you select. Press the click-pads to add or remove notes to each column. Notes will be
constrained by the selected scale, if a scale has been selected. Use in conjunction with the
Chord settings to play whole chords instead of single notes.
Notes mode produces more useful results when a Scale Type is selected. For detailed
information on selecting a scale, see ↑7.3.4, Selecting a Scale and Chords.
