Play a C chord on your MIDI keyboard This patch could be useful for helping people perform a piece for which they have only a lead sheet with chord names. Type C into the text box at the top left and press the return or enter key 2. For example, a user wanting to play a Cdom7#9 chord could simply enable 7ths and 9ths to be displayed by checking the appropriate toggles, typing Cdom7#9 into the space provided, and pressing the return or enter key. For taller chords, a user may enable more chord tones to be added than simply just a root, third, and fifth. The letter name of each note appears on each chord tone when it is highlighted. Users can then play the chord on their MIDI keyboard while looking at the visual example. This patch allows users to type in the name of a chord (C, for example) and see the chord displayed on a large kslider. Open the file chord_namer.maxpat from the Chapter 11 Examples folder. Stand-alone programs are a great way of distributing your work to people for educational or commercial purposes.
Unlike the other patches we’ve worked on thus far, we will “build” this patch as a stand-alone program that can be used on any computer even if it does not have Max installed. In this chapter, we will analyze a “Chord Namer” application that allows a user to enter a chord name and see the notes on a MIDI keyboard.
