4. FrE.C free chord selection and playback
By default, a chord's root note will always conform to the key/scale you chose for your song upon playback (but you may still program a root note that does not fit the scale!). For example, with the default C major scale, possible chord root notes are always the white keys of an imaginary piano (e.g. C, D, E, F, G, A, B) but not the black keys.
Changing the root note of a chord by editing a step on the chord track, will normally always sound/play the closest "legal" note of your chosen key/scale/mode. So if you would, for example, choose a root note of C sharp for a song that is in the key of C major, your Woovebox will play a chord with a C root note (closest "legal" note for that scale), and not a C sharp (which is an "illegal" note for that scale).
Setting FrE.C to the 'yes' option, allows for turning this behavior off, and allow you to freely play back (not just program) chords with root notes that are out-of-scale.

Your device will appear in the list and can now be selected to connect to (the Woovebox will report "BLE Conn").
- Method 1 (under Arpeggios)
The way the track reacts to the current chord being played, determines how any steps are translated into note pitches.
- Patterns (under The very basics)
As your Woovebox steps through the pattern, any steps that the play head encounters that contain notes (lit up) are played.
- Switch to the chord track (under Quick start tutorial and video)
Ifyou wish to set up a custom scale/key for your song, you can do so through the following; Switch to Song mode (hold value knob and short-press 16/A8/SONG).
- Method 2 (under Arpeggios)
If a sine wave is configured for the Pitch LFO with a depth of 2.0, the pitch will sweep the chord's note over two octaves.
