Trigger Chord Mode w/External Midi

Feature Requests
1

What is the problem?

I can hit a single note/pad on the Synth in chord mode and a chord plays. If I trigger that same note externally using a Tracker + (or other midi keyboard/sequencer) only a single note plays.
Why would a Synth exist with a fantastic chord mode who’s primarily way of playing is to sequence it externally only to have it not utilize chord mode via MIDI? Especially if paired with a fellow Polyend product?

What should this feature achieve?

Play/trigger a single note using an external MIDI device and have chord mode play a chord, the same as it does if you play it with your finger on a pad.

Are there any workarounds?

If using a Tracker or other single note/track device, you have to utilize multiple tracks to play one chord. If using a larger poly MIDI sequencer you have to manually play each chord or rely on the sequencers chord mode if it has one.

Isn’t this a duplicate of Allow triggering chords from MIDI?

thanks for catching that, lets keep this one up since it has more votes and I’ll archive the other.

Since these Synth feature requests are up for voting now, I wanted to highlight my related submission: Grid Followers respond to external MIDI sequencing While not exactly the same, both seek to leverage the potential power of the grid while using external midi sequencers. Happy voting!

I agree. We need to be able to sequence the root and have the chord playback AND the followers to respond to that.
