Strumming (on the touchstrip) with Chords

raiven3d

I've been digging through Reddit and these forums to see if it's possible to use the touchstrip to strum ("Notes" mode) while using Chords, instead of having to use Keyboard mode and manually pressing each note.

I know for a lot of people this would be a big game changer and make song writing a lot easier, especially now that we're able to customize our own chord sets. It would also be handy when writing melodies as you could switch your chords and explore the length of the touch strip to find notes within it.

This would enable similar behaviour to the Omnichord (was just rereleased and sold out), or an analog Autoharp. With all the traditional string instrument VSTs available in Kontakt/Komplete, this could open a new audience to Maschine.

If I've missed something in my hunt for this feature, let me know.

If you're willing the jam has this feature-kinda, but its user chord input- I think- is separate from user chords, which I find bizarre that it wasn't implemented into maschine mk3
