38 DeepMind 6 User Manual CHORD SCREEN SOFT KEYS - At the bottom of the chord screen are 3 labels which indicate the software function of the illuminated PROG, GLOBAL and WRITE switches. If no previous chord is present, the display will show the status of the chord programming function, for example: ARMED, LEARNING, or PRESS TRIGGER, as explained later. 4. The status line shows the text "CUSTOM-TYPE-NOTES" where: • CUSTOM - indicates this is a chord you have created. • TYPE - If the chord type is recognized as one that is saved in the WIZARD memory (described in the Poly Chord section later), then the chord TYPE is displayed. For example, the chord shown above is TYPE = Ma. • NOTES - The component notes of the chord. 5. You will now be asked to assign the chord to a trigger key: "PRESS TRIGGER" will appear in the display as shown: • PROG switch - Performs the EXIT function and returns to the PROG screen. • GLOBAL switch - Used to RECORD a new chord over an existing chord. • WRITE switch - Used to DELETE the chord, but only once a chord is programmed (otherwise this area will be blank and the WRITE switch will not be illuminated) Note: The chord is stored in persistent memory and will be retained through a power cycle. Only one chord is created and stored at a time. Note: The chord memory can also be cleared using the "bootloader" menu described later in this document. Note: The chord size is limited to 12 notes. The DeepMind 6 can play up to 6 notes simultaneously, and any additonal notes can be played by another DeepMind unit in POLY CHAIN mode. CHORD PROGRAMMING 1.
