Shortcuts for previous/next chord sounding

[koalaboy]

Hi,

I'm just demoing RapidComposer and wondering if, when choosing chords, there is a shortcut key for both previous and next chord in the sequence ?

If not, could one be added ?

Basically, when I am choosing a chord, I would like to be able to trigger the previous chord in the sequence and/or the next chord as necessary to get a feel for the transition, without having to play the sequence.

Thanks.

Hi koalaboy,

thanks for your question.
If you mean previewing chords on the master track, you can enable one-click preview by highlighting the small 'speaker' button:


At other places there is preview for all chord buttons, which you can set up in the Chord Selector window (F10).
Please let me know if I misunderstood your question.

Thanks,
Attila

Thanks for the reply,

I was meaning that when I am choosing a new chord for the master track in the Quick Suggestions panel, it would be useful to be able to hear the previous and next chords with a keypress (or an option).

For example, if I have a sequence C-G-F-A-C and I want to change the F, it would be useful if, as I click on new suggestions, it would also play the G and A either side, so instead of the preview just being F it would be G-F-A.

Something to let me hear it in context, but without having to play the whole sequence.

That is a good idea indeed! I'll add this functionality shortly.
Thanks!

Ah yes !

A function which plays the previous one then the current tested one then the next one would be very useful !
