Layer Modes
You can play the keyboard and trigger the variations according to the selected layer mode.
- Velocity
-
The full velocity range (1 to 127) is divided into zones, according to the number of layers you specified. For example, if you are using 2 variations, 2 velocity zones are used: 1 to 63 and 64 to 127. Playing a note with velocity 64 or higher triggers the second layer, while playing a softer note triggers the first layer.
With the Velocity spread slider at the bottom right of the window, you can change the velocity ranges of the layers.
- Interval
-
In this mode, Chorder plays one chord at a time. If the Interval mode is selected, you trigger a layer by pressing 2 keys on your keyboard. The lower key determines the base note for the chord. The layer number is determined by the difference between the 2 keys. To select layer 1, press a key one semitone higher than the base note, for layer 2, press a key two semitones higher, and so on.
- Single Mode
-
Select this if you want to use only 1 layer.
