It´s here yeah! But chords won´t change shape!? SORTED!

Got today and hooked the kids up on a audiobook so I could make some noise. It´s super fun and I´m enjoying the whole form factor a lot.

But I got a problem changing the shapes of the chord machine and turning the Shape Knob makes no audible change in my headphones. I can see the the vast amount of chords on the display but no chord changes correspondingly.

I checked the Shape Knob on the other machines and the Knob is working and changing shape when used on other machines.
So clearly I´m doing something wrong or am overlooking something.

Any suggestions from more experienced model cycle users is much appreciated.

Looks like I can only change chord shape when loading a factory preset and not from the Chord machine itself?

#3

it should work like you described…

maybe you are not on a chord machine? maybe tone instead? are you aware, that the machines are interchangeable, and are not tied to specific tracks?

#4

thanks but I´m aware of the track and machine interaction. And I do see the Chord shapes change when turning the knob.

#5

hm, are you playing / hitting keys live or playback sequencer steps? maybe it is parameter locked?

#6

also have you tried a new project?

#7

No it´s a fresh start so no p locks yet.
I think I´m gonna start a new project and see if the problem reacur.

The good old turn off turn on(IT Crowd) command did the trick. Thanks for your concern @nionmu
