Additional Keyboard Functions
TRANSPOSE Button
The
TRANSPOSE button allows you to play the A6 in a
different key. This is a global setting that affects all
Programs and Mixes and remains in effect until it’s
changed, even if the A6 is powered off.
To set the transpose amount, hold down the
TRANSPOSE button, then press a key. The A6’s
keyboard will be transposed by that key’s distance
from middle C.
Alternatively, you can press the TRANSPOSE button, then adjust the transpose amount
using soft knob 1.
CHORD
The
CHORD button allows you to play a chord with a single key. To define a chord,
hold down the CHORD button until the chord LED starts to blink. Then, play the
notes of the chord and release the button.
After the chord is in memory, playing a single note on the keyboard will play the
chord relative to the note you played. To toggle chord mode on and off, simply press
the
CHORD button.
All of the notes of the chord will be sent out MIDI. The notes of the chord are stored
in global memory, so they will stay the same even after you change programs or
mixes.
