Trigger a chord

I’m trying to set up a patch that is triggered by some CC value (for example triggered by a snare drum), that “samples” the current held keys on an input (say for example an electric piano holding a chord) and relays those to an output (for example a synth).

For example:

  • Input A holds an A minor
  • Drum machine generates a snare hit, which is transmitted for example as a CC on Input B
  • An A minor is generated on Output C

Anybody did a similar thing?

I’ve implemented something similar once, a manually stepped Arpeggiator.

It can be adjusted to trigger on any other message than a Note On (though I would suggest to stick to Note On, unless your CCs are ‘one off’ and won’t be producing lots of values)

So the Arp pipe can be used to hold the currently held down notes, and another message can be used to trigger the next note of the Arp sequence (or the entire chord at once, if its mode is set appropriately)

Cool, that looks very promising, indeed. Thanks a lot!
