Let’s do the same thing, using the “aux note rel” event:
• set the note value on step 1 to C5 using the NOTE knob
• 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 using the UPPER knob
• set the aux B value on step 1 to 7 using the UPPER knob
• set the aux C value on step 1 to 11 using the UPPER knob
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
As mentioned in the chapter on real-time record, and worth repeating here, if you have configured
some of the auxes in a pattern with any of the aux note events, you can record polyphonic patterns
directly from an attached keyboard.
The lowest note played in any step will be written to the main note value, and up to 4 more notes will
be written into the auxes.
