Chord Memory

Trust me, this stuff's great. It's not found on many synths. I think that it's mainly the Alpha-Junos, the Korg Poly-800 and the Korg Mono/Poly. Basically, it works like this: Press the appropriate button, play a groovy chord and, hey presto! Your synth plays a chord with that pattern with its root note being the any key you play from then on.

For example, you play a C minor triad. Thereafter, if you press E flat, you'll get an E flat minor triad. B and you get a B minor triad and so on. When you start to use minor sevenths, ninths and elevenths it starts to get really wonderful. As I said before, trust me.
