Noob here: How do I see the "chords" that I am playing

Hello Akai Force lovers! I am coming from the world of NI M+ and I regret not buying the Force earlier. I just got it this week. But there is one thing I can't find an answer for.
On the MPC ONE and Maschine +, you can see the chords on the screen. I don't know if it this is possible on the Force. Does anybody know how to do this? Is it possible at all? Any video tutorial recommending on how to create custom chords?

Thanks

If you're talking about the piano roll view, you can look at a clip while you're recording into it, and you'll see the piano roll.

Is that what you meant?

Not entirely sure if this is what you're asking but if you hold down SHIFT+NOTES you can configure the chromatic capabilities on the Force for the kind of chord progressions etc. that you want.

Custom progressions are covered on page 366 of the v3.1 manual.

I understand what you are saying because it bugs me as well. In pad performance mode you don't get a screen layout of the chords and notes like you do in the MPC line. I understand that there are more pads but we dont need Giant blocks of letters. Smaller text with appropriate sized buttons would do.

This is fastly becoming my biggest complaint with the force. Fix this please AKAI.

Another one here to say this is a big peeve.

It is also very unintuitvive to not know what notes you're playing when playing on the isometric keybed in any mode/scale.

A simple icon showing the note you're pressing on screen, and if you're playing a chord it would show the chord would make everything so much more playable

While I still think there should be a pad performance short cut in the menu I could live with this. Especially when playing progressions it's very annoying not knowing what your playing.
