    OMG, finally, thank you man for a real walk-through and not a bunch of all over the place chatter. You talk a little fast but you give step-by-step instructions thank you so much.

    Dope video, good breakdown on how to set the scale and explaining progressions. I kinda already knew about progressions but now I can see it and believe I can use it with my AtomSQ
    Thanks

    Hey, thanks for another great tutorial. This feature was one of the main reasons for me to buy the Atom SQ

      Right! It’s probably my favorite feature to be honest!

    I'm so glad I found your channel - you make using the SQ a breeze and your tutorials are very well presented - concise, clear and crisp!
    Just one thing though - could you pan your camera slightly to get rid of the wobbly monitor edge on the left of the shot (OCD here!)

      But then you’d see my messy background! 😆🤣.

    I can’t get to where I can change the chord settings! I’ve tried and tried. When it first turns on I can see that feature but, when I use it with Presonus, I can never get to where I can change Am to Gm or whatever I want!

    Hadn't really looked into the SQ but this is ridiculously helpful. Does the SQ replace the ATOM? I mainly just use the ATOM to control my vocal recordings haha, but I can see this being as good as my Axiom keyboard. Thanks for the video Ivan!

    Hi Ivan ... thanks for a very helpful video. At the 50 second mark you said that the chord mode on the SQ is not super advanced. Are you comparing it to something like Scaler or are there hardware controllers with more advanced chord modes? Thanks.

    • @ImIvanCalderon
      @ImIvanCalderon  3 роки тому +1

      Hey Bill. No I said the chord HACK I demonstrated in this video wasn’t super advanced, meaning that it’s not super intricate but it is super useful nonetheless. The SQ’s scale modes are fantastic!

  • @rvenneman
    @rvenneman 3 роки тому

    How would you play a Gm7 chord, a diminished, or a 13th chord with this or is this not possible? Say I wanted to do a, for example, a Cmaj7, and Em7, a D flat maj7 to a C9th chord. Can I do that?
    Thanks.

    • @ImIvanCalderon
      @ImIvanCalderon  3 роки тому +1

      Set the pads to scale only and pick your scale, so in your case Gm. Then you press pads 1, 3, 5, and 7 to get the Gm7 chord. If you want a 9th add the 9th pad etc. As long as you’re in scale only the shape will always be press one skip one.

      This isn't a competition for me, so I would say not really. I recently got the unit, and I am really enjoying it, so I'm just sharing what I'm learning. If some people already knew about it, that's great, but from what I'm seeing, there are still plenty who don't.
