Chords on Trigs?

Loom · 2015-03-20T00:58:48.000Z

Hey everybody
Is there a way to set chords on Trigs?
By holding down the chord + the Trig (in REC mode), it doesn’t work as usual with one key.
Hope you know a way to “fix” this.

Greetings Loom

Make sure you are in ‘poly’ mode. [Function] + [Kit/Poly]

the other way round…hold a trigger and then press a chord…

You can check your chord in the Arp Page.

If chord was enter correctly you will see it there on No2 No3 and No4, by the way you can enter your chords there note by note (as offsets from the root note), and obviously Plock them!

It is a shame you can´t control it from the performance knobs, isn´t it? shame on you elektron!

Also after entering a chord, while holding the corresponding trigger, all corresponding note less will light.

If all indicates that your chord was properly entered but you still din´t listen to it, go and check your polyphony settings.

Does this method work on the A4 when using a MIDI controller?

I bet it does, may be it could be necessary to control using Auto Chan.

Depending on how thick you need the individual notes of the chord to sound etc., you can also do this by detuning the oscillators so you’re still just using one voice. It’s explained in the manual somewhere.
