Polyend Play Manual Rev 1
NOTES
Play has polyphonic tracks in MIDI Mode which allows chords to be applied
from Play’s chord preset library, accessed with the ‘Sample Start’ knob. The
chord will operate based on the scale set in the settings menu.
▌ CREATING A MIDI CHORD SEQUENCE
1. Ensure the scale type is set as desired in the main menu. Press
(Screen) to access the main menu and choose the ‘Scales’ sub-menu.
To cover all the chord options use chromatic.
2. A work step can be set for the root note and chords but it is better to use
per step editing for these. The work step however is a good option to
set for a generic MIDI Channel and Port.
3. Live recording allows real-time recording of MIDI notes. Use the View
keyboard to play in and record steps to selected tracks.
4. For per step editing, keep the step [Pad] held in the following
instructions:-
• Hold [Pad] + Turn (Sample) to set the MIDI Channel and Port if a
per step setting is required for these options.
• Hold [Pad] + Turn (Note) to assign the root note. Example ‘C’
• Hold [Pad] + Turn (Sample Start) to assign a chord type from the
chord library. These are predetermined chords. If a chord contains
notes not in the active scale type, a [-] symbol will be displayed
alongside the chord name. The chord will still be transmitted.
• Other parameters such as note length and velocity can also be set if
required per step or as a work step.
5. Repeat the instructions in step 3 to build melodic progressions across
the tracks.
