Absolute Mode is a setting for the EAMIR padKontrol System. In it, the first three rows of 4 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 4 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.
