6. RDER v1 0 IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON LEGATO arts UNMUTED reCHORDER is a chord generator and as such has some limitations regarding legato playing While playing the piano normally we don t change whole chords in the le gato mode because in most cases it is technically impractical recHORDER can play the chords legato if all chord component notes are different If both chords share the same note this note is silenced during the legato transition from one chord to another The key simply has to send the Note Off information and if the note is shared between two chords the Note Off message silences the shared note triggered while playing legato reCHORDER at the moment is not smart enough to distinguish the shared notes so legato playing in some contexts can result in note dropouts This also refers to keypad and memory pads in Hold mode vi arts UNMUTED reCHORDER v1 0 SCREEN LAYOUT The main screen of arts UNMUTED reCHORDER consists of the following elements Root TI IV Root I III IV Root closed open 1 open 2 Minor Root Root Root I open 3 I III IV 1 24 Spread Spread P1 m3 4 5 M m dim aug b5 b5 ES sus2 sus4 m7 dom dim m7 aug7 m maj maj7 A 5 b5 add6 sus4 5us4 add9 add9 nin dom dom dom 6 6 m6 M m 113 s 0 CH i Es m Fan Sim Grog Ab 3 sus m b5 m m b5 m aug vel CCl CC7 keys CH C F G AD BD reCHORDER arts UNMUTED reCHORDER v1 0 1 CHORD INVERSI
