Keyboard and MIDI Effects
Overview
Current’s keyboard area brings together essential voicing controls, pitch modulation, and scale-based music tools all integrated into a performance-ready interface. On the left, you’ll find powerful creative tools like the Arpeggiator and Chord Generator, which can be reordered to shape how notes and harmonies are generated. On the right, key and scale settings ensure everything stays in tune with your project.
Key Functions
Keyboard Scale & Root Selection Define the root note and scale to keep all generated notes in key. The Arpeggiator and Chord Generator both follow this setting, making it easy to lock in harmonically.
Voicing Controls Adjust global pitch, voice count, glide, and legato behavior for expressive and playable patches.
Mod & Pitch Wheel Settings Customize mod wheel depth, pitch bend range, and performance responsiveness directly from the panel.
Arpeggiator
Melodic & Rhythmic Patterns Choose from note modes, rhythmic styles, swing, and skip probabilities to generate dynamic sequences.
Step Controls Customize how patterns evolve over time with transposition shifts, alternate steps, offsets, and one-shot behavior.
Rate & Sync Set speed in BPM or milliseconds and fine-tune groove with swing and exponential shaping.
Chord Generator
Chord Sets & Scale Matching Each chord set includes seven chords that snap to the selected scale, with drag-and-drop reordering and editing.
Chord Type & Voicing Build from triads or suspended chords and apply inversions or advanced voicings for richer textures.
Creative Controls Add/remove intervals, adjust strum timing, and use smart randomization to spark new ideas quickly.
Good to Know
The Arp and Chord tabs can be reordered by dragging their labels enabling arpeggiated chords or chorded arps.
Scale Lock ensures scale settings stay consistent when switching presets.
