I enjoy the chord side and feel we could implement our own layout of chords. Each pad could have a chord shape which was user mappable or more specifically:

Keyboard
1. That functions as a performance mode which features the isometric keyboard in the 8x16 section. The 2x8 could be used for note repeat functionality similar to the push. Since there are 2 rows one can mirror the diatonic chords or be remapped in a similar fashion as defined below.

Keyboard + shift
2. This would be chord mode. instead of the isometric view we would have both a default template which is similar to the theory board, but we can include more chords since we have more pads. I would also like to see a row of unassigned pads that can be user assigned able at the bottom. So maybe using the 7 out of 8 rows by default in and leaving the 8th row assignable for user defined chords. Chords could be assigned to the 8th row by holding the notes in keyboard mode and pressing shift and one of the 16 pads in the 2x8. The 2x8 itself in chord mode would be used for the arpeggiator, but I haven't put enough thought into the arrangement or parameters of the arp.

An alternative vision would be to have shift keyboard enter a hybrid isometric and chord screen where 7x8 becomes default diatonic chords and extensions. The 8th row becomes an empty user assignable row. The other half of the 8x8 becomes a standard push isometric keyboard. The 2x8 can be note repeat on one half, but also the arpeggiator because it can share the denominations with the arp.

Please implement a chord feature soon. I promise to buy your second device (if its reasonably priced) and wait patiently if you can supply us with something until a version with an OLED arrives, but if there is no plans for chord integration of this nature then I would be forced to buy the theory board as it fits an itch that I'm not filling properly right now. I think the price tag is ridiculous when compared to the deluge and think they are overcharging or have built a product which is not creatively engineered given its use, but that screen is probably what made the price tag so high (so i'd like to thank you for choosing the spartan display in regards to keeping cost down). I'm a believer now though and would spend $1200 (or slightly more if it feels justified) on a deluge 2 with an OLED screen.

The theory board should have deluges screen and the deluge should have a screen similar to the latest iteration of the theory board.

I think we can manage this functionality in one device. No need for another device like the theory board (besides velocity sensitivity and strum ability) if you already have a deluge in my opinion. This is a software issue for us, we have all the hardware necessary already. I would prefer to hear from the developers on this, before I am unable to pre-order a theory board as the price difference is egregious. Thank you for your continued updates to this incredible product!

Portability
Unique 8x16 grid
Developers continual amazing updates and willingness to work directly with the community. Thank you!

I can't see the cable lol? Is there a cable? Theres no way to wirelessly transmit the sound is there?!

Bad ass party!
