Hi,
My latest attempt at a MIDI piano accompaniment patch is attached.The middle subpatch called "plays_major_then_minor_chord_rhythm" is giving me a headache.
Does anyone know of a better way to change chords? Currently you have to stop playing and click on the bang for whatever major or minor chord you want. Slightly un-dynamic! I would perfer to have something that allows me to play a note on a lower octave that would then change the chord being played...without playing all the notes in the chord at exactly the same time...ie..it keeps the rhythm steady. Any ideas?
Comments appreciated, Marcus.

If I understand your patch correctly, you could replace the 2*3 number boxes in the middle of "plays_major_then_minor_chord_rhythm" with 2*3 [float 0] objects. Connect the metros and delays to the -left- inlet, and the [+ 0], [+ 3], [+ 7],... objects to the -right- inlet of the floats. This way a change of the base note only -sets- the chord floats, but does not output them directly. Only the metro's and the delay's bangs output the chords then.
