-When you initialize a track as a CHORD track type, the first parameter layer is a special "chord" layer.  Data on this layer is represented as upper or lower case letters with an octave offset.  The letters on CHORD layers are not related to note names - For example, an "A" is not necessarily an A chord.

-When not transposed, the chords in a chord layer are all C chord variants.  You can play other chords by transposing the chord track (either by external keyboard, or with a loopback bus track).  If you're not up on your music theory, you might want to use [[forceScale|Force-To-Scale]] when transposing chords to ensure that your results are always in key.
-When not transposed, the 32 chord letters correspond to the following chords:
-  * **A-C:** Major I, Major II, Major III (transposed variants)
-    * **A:** C Major (Root position) (notes: C E G)
-    * **B:** C Major (1st inversion) (notes: E G C)
-    * **C:** C Major (2nd inversion) (notes: G C E)
-  * **D-F:** Root note, 3rd note, 5th note (single notes)
-    * **D:** note: C
-    * **E:** note: E
-    * **F:** note: G
-  * **G,H:** Root+3rd, Root+5th
-    * **G:** notes: C E
-    * **H:** notes: C G
-  * **I-N:** Maj6, Maj7, Maj8, Maj9, Maj10, Maj12 (4-note chords)
-    * **I:** C Maj6 (notes: C E G A)
-    * **J:** C Maj7 (notes: C E G B)
-    * **K:** C Maj8 (notes: C E G C)
-    * **L:** C Maj9 (notes: C E G D)
-    * **M:** C Maj10 (notes: C G C E)
-    * **N:** C Maj12 (notes: C G C G)
-  * **O-P:** Sus4 and Maj+
-    * **O:** C Sus4 (notes: C F G)
-    * **P:** C Maj+ (notes: C E G#)
-  * **a-c:** Minor I, Minor II, Minor III (transposed variants)
-    * **a:** C Minor (Root position) (notes: C D# G)
-    * **b:** C Minor (1st inversion) (notes: D# G C)
-    * **c:** C Minor (2nd inversion) (notes: G C D#)
-  * **d-f:** Root note, 3rd Min. note, 5th note (single notes)
-    * **d:** note: C

-    * **g:** notes: C D#
-    * **h:** notes: C G
-  * **i-n:** Min6, Min7, Min8, Min9, Min10, Min12 (4-note chords)

-====Adding Notes to Chord Tracks====
-Chord tracks can have additional NOTE [[layersintro|Parameter Layers]].  You can enter notes on these layers, and they will be played along with any chords on that step.
