My Chord v2’s calibration is off.
Your Chord should be accurately calibrated from the factory, but in the case of unwarranted or unknown tampering of the module, be it secondhand or the like, you can easily recalibrate your Chord v2 using the steps below! This can also be handy if you are wanting to calibrate your Chord to a different voltage standard. To calibrate your Chord v2, you will need a reliable voltage source, such as a sequencer, to complete the process.
To begin, hold Triad while turning on module -- Mode LED will turn red:
Maj LED will illuminate.
Patch 1V (one octave up from the root on your sequencer) into V/oct
Press Triad
Maj+Asterick LED will illuminate
Patch 3V (the third octave up from the root on your sequencer) into V/oct
Min LED will illuminate.
Patch 1V into Lead
Press Triad
Min+Asterick LED will illuminate
Patch 3V into Lead
Dom LED will illuminate.
Patch 1V into Voicing
