MIDI Target Manufacturer(s): Original, Generic

Flexible chord layout.  

Linear two octave x 7 pad array transposes and plays chords.  

Assign preloaded or user specified chords to pad rows.

Nine user chords with up to 10 notes each can be entered and assigned during performance.

Presets save pad and user chord assignments.

Controls are MDP2, logic is in StreamByter output rules.

----

Layout has 23 vacant slots (out of 128) for hard coded chords.  Let me know if you have chords to add or if you think one is miscoded.  Chord reference - pianochord.org.

Congratulations, your layout is genial. Eight pages of StreamByter you are a pro.

Looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing this unique way to do flexible chords on iPad. I assume "random" uses SB random to choose the chord?

Not a dynamic random, just a fixed preset with some random chords.  I guess with the new randomize function, there would be some way for a dynamic draw.  The function appears 50/50, but we don't want a 50/50 on 25 notes, which would be 12 ish notes on average.  There would be some way to down sample to ~ 3-5 notes.  But got other stuff first (like finishing the 2.3300 manual update.)

Of course, just curious. It's an interesting question about downsampling. I think it might work with chaining...
