Update on Broken chord mode

2008-01-31 by korgpolyex800

Well, I guess I must be talking at the void.

Anywho, I went back to many previous versions of my code and was still
not able to recreate the original chord mode. I'm not even sure I know
what the original sounded like anymore. The bottom line is that chord
mode seems so completely broken that I think I'm going to go very
quiet for a while as I need to fix chord mode. Since I never liked the
chord mode being tonic deaf, I am going to have a long look at
rewriting it from scratch. This is going to put my delivery date for
the kit back some weeks. I apologize to all of you for the delay. I do
assure you that this kit is not vaporware. It is real and when I do
finally release the kit I think you will all be very happy with the
results. I just don't want to release a buggy kit.

I am going to go quiet for a couple of weeks while I work out Chord mode.

Mike.
