Steps for the bass note under it
01
Patterns
Click or drag the grid squares to choose which steps play, separately for chords and bass.
02
Rates
Each part has its own Rate: half, quarter, eighth, and sixteenth notes, plus dotted quarter and dotted eighth.
03
Note lengths
Length sets how long each synced chord note or bass note lasts.
04
Loop ranges
Repeat a shorter section of either grid. Each Rate remembers its own pattern and loop range.
01
Chord Sync only
All played notes follow the Chord Grid.
02
Chord + Bass Sync
Chords follow the Chord Grid. Bass notes follow the Bass Grid.
03
Bass Sync only
Bass follows the Bass Grid. Higher notes and chords play freely, with inversions and voicings.

Getting Started
Your playing
Play live, or use existing MIDI from the track.
MIDI in
Notes arrive as MIDI, from the keyboard or a clip.
Chord Chameleon
Processes chords and bass notes independently, in real time.
Your instrument
Plays the transformed notes. Chord Chameleon has no built-in sounds.
Chord Chameleon responds to
the way you strike, roll,
and hold notes.
Struck together
Strike a chord to reshape it.
Strike three or more chord notes together and Chord Chameleon applies your selected inversion and voicing.
Chord processed
Grace notes
Held notes
Hold a chord, and follow-up notes stay with it.
Once a chord is detected, nearby follow-up notes use its current inversion and voicing while at least one note from the original chord remains held.
Different from a rolled chord: a rolled chord is built one note at a time before any chord is detected, so it stays as played.
Before you start
Practical questions
Setup steps, control descriptions, and performance examples are in the manual.
No. Chord Chameleon processes incoming chords rather than generating them from single-note triggers. The notes can come from your playing or an existing MIDI clip.
