y-Chord Sequencer

The y-Chord Sequencer (M4L device for Ableton Live) is similar to the SH-101 sequencer, except it sequences chords of any number of notes.

 Press "Record", play a chord you like into the device and hold it, then press "Add" to write the chord to a step, find another chord, press "add" again and so on until you have built a sequence. Press "Rest" to add a rest. Press "Record" again to re-enter play mode. 

The sequence can then be advanced by one step each time a midi note is received. the sequence will also be transposed, where C3 is zero transposition. Unlike many chord sequencers the y-Chord Sequencer can play more than one chord at a time, and won't send a note off until all chords which use that note are released.

You can add more notes to the sequence by pressing "Record" again, or press "Clear"and you can start over again. You can play the sequence forwards , backward, or back and forth. If you press edit you can edit the notes in each step numerically.

There is also the option of playing your chords as a 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th inversion, which produces related harmonic sequences.

The device will start from the first step in the sequence when Live's transport is started.

The sequence of chords is saved with the device, so it will be loaded with your song, or can be saved as a preset.
