A fast and easy way to program chords would be to turn the virtual keyboard into chord mode, each page would cover the quality (major, minor, augmented etc) and each “key” would cover the root note.

### What is the problem?

The current way of programming chords is quite tedious.

### What do you want to achieve?

To program chords more easily using my play

### Are there any workarounds?

Right now, no.

### Any links to related discussions?

Not that I know of.

### Any references to other products?

No that I know of.

Have you seen this?

> What they are demoing here is a new piano roll where every track is a note, the root note is marked with a special color so you know where you are, and you can punch notes as you would do in a daw. With the jogwheel you can go up and down the piano, covering several octaves. Combined to this piano roll, there is a new chords and bass feature, where you can build chords of up to four notes, and then you have a the bass that you can sync with. There are a bunch of fills that offer starting points…

Is this what you are looking for?
