Absolute Mode is a setting for the EAMIR padKontrol System. In it, the first three rows of four pads will map to the tones of a chromatic scale beginning on C. The first pad will trigger the tone C, the second one C#, the third D, and so on. The fourth row of four pads will operate similarly, but instead of triggering tones, they will signify chord qualities. The first pad of the fourth row will enable a major chord voiced across several octaves to be built whenever a user presses one of the pads in the first three rows. If a user wants to play a d-minor chord, he will press the second button in the fourth row to tell the software that the chord being built will be a minor chord. Then, when the user presses the third button in the first row, the d will be sent as the chord root and the chord will sound. The touch sensitive pads take the amount of pressure placed on each pad and yield a velocity value (0‐ 127) which will determine the volume of the synthesized sound.
