In my 2nd unit which is a black version 1.5 when I select a chord such as DIM or AUG the note played is always MIN regardless of the note pressed. My 1st unit which is a white version 1.4 does not display this behaviour so I thought perhaps a firmware issue so I updated from V1.5.5.3971 to V1.5.4.3392 (1.5 for Windows) and although the firmware update appears to have been successful the behaviour persists.

In the end a simple reset cleared the issue. I hadn't tried it previously because I have only been using ARP unit #2 unit for a couple of hours and haven't altered the chord settings or asigned custom settings to that parameter. I can only deduce that it must have been modifying during testing and arrived that way. Regardless it doesn't really matter, the bonus is that the spate of trouble shooting has made me more familiar with the the new firmware and I'll take that. Many thanks for your prompt reply, your questions helped me think through the issue.
The behaviour hasn't changed in v1.5.5. If you press the chord button and then press a note button it will set the scale to the chord assigned to that button.
How are you invoking the chord? Via the note buttons or an external controller?
What chord is displayed on screen? Is it a custom chord?
Try holding the chord button and seeing what chord is assigned. Press reset to go back to the default.
What arpeggiator mode are you in?
Do you have scale lock enabled for a particular arp channel?
Let me know how you get on. If it is still misbehaving, please email me a video of the behaviour. hello@midicake.com
