Let’s do the same thing, using the “aux note rel” event:
 set the note value on step 1 to C5
 assign aux A to the event “aux note rel”
 assign aux B to the event “aux note rel”
 assign aux C to the event “aux note rel”
 set the aux A value on step 1 to 4
 set the aux B value on step 1 to 7
 set the aux C value on step 1 to 11
In the case of relative events, the note sent by each aux is the main note shifted by the aux
value.
In this example, with a main note of C5:
 C5 + 4 semitones = E5
 C5 + 7 semitones = G5
 C5 + 11 semitones = B5
…and you have the same notes as you set for the “aux note abs” event.
The difference with the relative events is that you can now transpose all the notes in the
chord just by changing the main note value on the step.
Chord Memory
It is possible to use the aux note rel events to recreate the chord memory function found on
early polyphonic synthesizers.
This means you can set up the aux values in advance to create a given chord shape on every
step of a pattern.
Then you can set the root note of your chord using the normal note value, and activate the
gate.
Polyphonic Real-time Record
If you have configured some of the auxes in a P3 pattern with any of the aux note events, you
can record polyphonic patterns directly from an attached keyboard.
