Creating Chord Pack
When editing chords it is important to follow the button commands plus the
menu navigations in the order stated. Start by opening the grid menu while
holding the button combo.
Chord Pack Editor
Chords in a chord pack can be individually congured using the chord pack
editor. This is accessible in the grid page. A chord can then be created for
the selected pad starting with the default settings of C Major and be
combined into a chord pack size of, say 8.
Chord Packs are not saved with the Scene.
