- | When you initialize a track as a CHORD track type, the first parameter layer is a special "chord" layer. Data on this layer is represented as upper or lower case letters with an octave offset. The letters on CHORD layers are not related to note names - For example, a "C" is not necessarily a C chord. | ||
- | |||
- | When not transposed, the chords in a chord layer are all C chord variants. You can play other chords by transposing the chord track. If you're not up on your music theory, you might want to use [[forceScale|Force-To-Scale]] when transposing chords to ensure that your results are always in key. | ||
