Tracker+ gives a series of scales in the MIDI Chord description. While these are useful examples
they do not fully cover all chords. Other chords are also available, represented by the
hexadecimal number in the MIDI Chord FX. Translating a chord to the hexadecimal code for the
MIDI Chord assignment will allow a wider range to be used. Alternatively, and a more practical
approach is trial and error and listening by ear of what sounds ‘right’ when selecting scales.
The Arp uses the Note as the root and the Arp effect sets the direction and
timing. This needs a MIDI Chord also in the other FX slot to create the chord
which will be arpeggiated. Setting the MIDI Chord to a value at ‘0’ will play notes
through a chromatic scale and is useful when setting up the Arp to get the
direction and timing right before applying a specic scale.
Arp direction plus intervals can range through the dividers of 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and
also the .1, .2, .3, .4, .6, .8 where a dot value indicates a multiplier.
