Lower octave hold

[drmaestro]

Hi,

I am trying to play a string sound (as a chord) on the lower section of the keyboard in Style mode. In i4s, when the chord hold button was activated, I could play a chord (for example a C chord), the device would hold the C chord even if I raised my hand and also continue to play the C chord on the string (which was assigned to the lower keyboard). In Pa3x, I have found the chord hold function, so it recognizes the chord and keeps playing it even if I raise my hand, however it stops the string sound. Is there a way to keep the lower keyboard section going on, even if I raise my hand?

Also, I was wondering if it is possible to split the keyboard on more than 2 sections?

Thanks

Go into Style Play: Preferences

You will see a drop down list next to "Memory Mode" - select "Chord + Lower"
...now any LOWER part will hold until you play a different chord - I have mine permanently set to this as I style-play with a lot of pad/strings in LOWER.

I can't think of a "simple" way to triple-split the keyboard. There are not-so-simple ways but very messy (maybe someone else has done this and can advise).

Hope this helps

Pete
