Is there a way to latch a chord trigger switch in combi or program modes?
Example: when I press (say) chord switch 1, it holds open until I press the next chord trigger switch. Then unlatch it by playing in a certain range or a certain key?

Thanks in advance!

Mike

I need the same thing but I was not able to find a way to do it. Moreover, if you assign the Chord button to a midi channel different than 1, also the damper pedal doesn't work Sad

I only know of the latch on the arp.

In Combi or Prog mode, touch the ARP button on the bottom of the screen, and make sure the box next to latch is checked.

The chord buttons (or any key for that matter) will be latched.

Hope this helped.

Thanks for the answer, but we need to latch a single chord that has to last until the next chord button is pressed. So simple in theory, but it seems impossible to do...

I know what you mean. After my post, I sat around and messed with it for an hour and couldn't get it. I'm finding I need the same thing now too, so if anyone else has an answer, it'd be greatly appreciated.

I messed with it more last night. Still no luck.

Seems there had got to be a way to latch a chord trigger.. So simple really? I think I/we are over looking something..??

I have the bad feeling that this "simple" feature is not possible.
I've managed to do this with the damper pedal, loosing part of the keyboard to play, but we really need this "latch" possibility.
Maybe Korg can include this option in next OS update? Please Wink

I found a half a_s work around in Combi mode (Probably same in Seq also).

Use the damper pedal. The the channel/track you will be playing, turn of the damper pedal.

Works... But it WOULD be MUCH easier just to "Latch" the chord buttons.

FYI..

Yes, the damper pedal is a way, the easy one. But the program has to be controlled by Channel midi 1 or Gch, if you set it to 2 or other (to free up the keys Wink ), damper won't work.
I've managed to do it for my "Shine On" Combi, assigning the pad to the very first octaves, so only the first octave and half of the keybes is "occupied". But is "stupid" that there is not a way to latch the chord buttons. Wink

Let me introduce myself as a next user of Korg M50, just saving cash to purchase it in about a month or so. Sorry for my poor english, but it isnīt my native language.

Donīt know if it would be useful, as I donīt have the WS to test it, but I have translated a post from a spanish forum, written by Astropop (from Barcelona) about a posible solution of holding the chords:

"Chord trigger of M50 work the same as the pads of the M3, there is no hold fuction. There was a tweak in M3 using Karma, not available in M50.

One way to "hold" the chords could be using the "hold" fuction of a program. You can find it in page P1:Basic/Ctrls, Key Zone/Scale label. If "hold" button is on, the chords specified between bottom and top will be hold.

In P0 page: Play, Tone adjust label, you can assign this hold fuction to one of the 8 scrollers."


Donīt know if this solution can be applied to chord triggers or just only pressing the keyboard.

Can you try this those who can?
Thank you

Thanks.
I've thought about this, but if you activate hold in the program it will sound forever, it will not stop with when pressing the next chord button.
At this point, chord triggering from keys like Kurz seems better than pads.
