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.
