Chord Wheel – how to make it “read” the chord I am playing …

[WolfgangO]

Hi,

is there a way to have the chord wheel “read” the chord I am playing on my keyboard directly? By this I mean: open the chord wheel, play a chord on the MIDI keyboard and have the chord wheel “snap” to exactly this chord (or its closest match)?

Reason I am asking: Sometimes I find it easier to create blank chord blocks, say 8 bars, then input the chords manually step-by-step by playling them on the keyboard; then afterwards use the Browser function to turn those harmonies into piano bits etc.

Thanks for any hints,

Wolfgang

Hi,

no you *only* have the real-time chord display in the middle of the interface.
Make sure it is on in the EZkeys Menu.

BR,

You can achieve this by recording your performance, and the chord(s) will be analysed and be added to the recorded song block. Then can you use the Use Browser MIDI function to replace your play style with something from the browser, while keeping the chords you played!

John and Henrik,

many thanks for your replys!

If one of you has preferential access to the developers may I suggest this as a “feature request”? The tech is all there …
