CHORD The HOLD and CHORD switches can be used together
to play chords with one key. First, select
the desired notes by using the HOLD function as
described above. Then, press the CHORD switch.
The held chord will cease sounding. By playing
low C (CO) on the keyboard, the held chord will
be reproduced as previously played. Playing notes
above CO will transpose the chord up by a corres
ponding interval. If the G above lowest C (GO) is
played, the chord will sound transposed up a fifth;
if the C two octaves above the lowest C (C2) is
played, the chord will sound transposed up by two
octaves. If there are enough voices, the actual
note being played will sound as well. To exit
the CHORD mode, simply press the HOLD switch.
The QB-SX cannot play notes higher than the top
note on the keyboard (C4). If a note is transposed
by the CHORD mode higher than C4, the OB-SX will
transpose it down by octaves until it is in range.
This accounts for the "cluster" effect that results
when transposing chords by large intervals. The
The Transpose switch on the Modulation Panel may
be used to achieve a higher range.
