    @@IanPriven Sorry I missed your answer! I'm mostly wondering if you read the push in the way you read a guitar fretboard? I haven't been able to write chords on the push since I don't really know what I'm looking at. So I assume this is as basic as it is.

    You can load the chords you want in session view and on each scene double-tap and on the bottom left-hand select trigger! Now you can control each scene that you put the chords on from your push on the pads! Now if you are playing them and not loading chords you can select the chords on your push2 to play your chords and to stay in key Switch to chromatic view it will be easier to understand since this view is similar to the guitar structure of chords keep up the amazing work and have a great day!

Feeling your pain on the insistent caller! LOL! Turn it off or put it in DND mode. I had to disconnect my phone from the laptop because it got so annoying. Keep up the great videos!
