We are happy to announce the release of the ChordSQ player Rack Extension for Reason, a device designed to help you create chord progressions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the heart of the player is a 16-step sequencer which is triggered when receiving a note from an external keyboard or MIDI track. For each step of the sequence, you select a root note and choose a chord from the available presets. Then you can change the chord voicing, add a bass note, set a duration and velocity. Each parameter has dedicated edit menus so that the selected steps can be altered easily. To help you choose chords, set a key and scale and the interface highlights which notes and chords are in key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The device has three operation modes. In mode 1, any note triggers the sequence. In mode 2, a note triggers the sequence and it also transposes it up or down (no transposition when you play C3). Finally, in mode 3, notes C1 to D#2 play the chords in slots 1 to 16 without triggering the sequence. This last mode turns the player into a one-finger chorder which can store up to 64 chords per patch. There are 4 sequence variations per patch, and they can be switched \u201clive\u201d during play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
