| CAMPS organizes a song's MIDI Line data into Tracks, as any MIDI Sequencer. However,
the first Track (unnumbered) is dedicated to Chords, a proprietary Track used to build a Tonality reference for
use by Auto Composing and other unique features in CAMPS. |
| The Chord Track
contains Chord Blocks, each Block being a set of Chord Containers. A Chord Block can vary in size, depending on the quantity and size of the Chord Containers
residing within it. |
| Rather than having one long Block of Chord Containers for a whole Composition, Chord
Containers are typically grouped into smaller Blocks, each having its own Tonal tendencies corresponding to a section
of your Composition. This allows CAMPS to assist in Chord Progression development within each Chord Block, which
in turn will help you Harmonize individual sections of your Composition more accurately. |
To Create New Chords
Since Chord Containers reside in Chord
Blocks, you'll first need to have Chord Blocks
in the Chord Area of your Document before you can individually manipulate Chords. |
| CAMPS offers a number of different methods for creating new Chord Blocks including
the Pen tool. Select the Pen tool at the top of the Document Window and then click and drag from horizontally in
the Chord Area to assign the starting
and ending locations of the Chord Block you are about to create. Settings
for Chords in the new Chord Block such as Key, Mode and Duration are adjustable
at any later time. |
