In order to send a chord, P3 has to store all the notes that make up the
chord somewhere.
The data structure for a pattern has eight numeric rows - note, velocity,
length, delay, aux A, B, C and D.
To play chords, the auxes have to be used, otherwise the data structure has
to change.
Changing the data structure means there would be fewer patterns in total.
Remember P3 is a pattern based sequencer, not an event based one.

There is a possibility I have considered to allow 'preset' chords to be
entered using only a single aux, and a 'chord' event.
That would take a single value to select the type of chord to play, with the
main note value setting the root note.
But adding any significant number of chords, or a user interface for
user-defind chords would quickly use up the last of the code space.
I might experimentally add the event, and a few chords, such as major triad,
minor triad, major/minor 7th, and see how much code it does use.
