Strummed Acoustic - Can I choose chords in Auto chords that are not in the scale?

Random question, but i have a song that uses A major and A minor in the chorus, and i can obviously do this with a piano keyboard, but wanted to know if it is possible some way with Auto Chord, or possibly with the Midi notation.

Any assistance welcomed.

    Not possible, one of the major limitations of Autochords. It would be nice if the "No 3" scale had a 3rd/flatted 3rd modifier. You could possibly use host automation to switch the key to a minor key that has an A Minor in it, play the chord and then switch back (The Automation ID is #23) or turn off Autochords (Host Autyomation ID #22) and play/Notate an Am then turn back on. Have not tried it myself and it seems like a lot of work instead of just playing the chords manually...
