Presentation
When Smart Chord is enabled, pressing a single key or pad will play a complete chord rather than a single note. The key or pad you press will determine the root note of the chord. The rest of the chord's properties (major, minor, etc.) are determined by the parameters you choose. Smart Chord also features a custom mode that lets you determine the chord structure that will be assigned to each key by playing it manually. For example, if you select custom mode and play a 1-b3-5-b7 chord, each key will then be assigned to play that chord structure. The note of the key you press will act as the root of the chord and all parameters can be edited directly on the Hammer 88 Pro!
Smart Scale technology allows you to set the keyboard so that only notes in the selected scale can be played. This allows you to play in a chosen scale without the risk of playing 'wrong' notes. You can choose from 16 different scale variations when assigning a scale to the keyboard. Smart Scale is easy to switch on and off, allowing you to define the scale settings you need to stay focused on creating.
