Re: [korgpolyex] Re: Chord mode and MIDI

2019-04-07 by support

You can save a chord progression to tape (PS-800) or to MIDI (PS800-II
and EX800). Which is awful but it works.
Only the single note that is held down is sent to MIDI.
A few people have asked me to add a feature to the HAWK that will play
all of the chord notes. I shall have another look and see how feasible
that is.
