“One Finger Chords”

Anyone know of a VST plug-in for “One Finger Chords”, or if there is another way to achieve this with X1 and a Edirol PCR500?
 
I have some programming experience and was thinking of using CAL’s to achieve this, but a Plug-in would be a lot quicker. Besides my head hurts when I have to think hard!
 
Thanks in advance.

Take a look at this plugin. It's free. You have to do one time setup of mapping the chords to the keys. Then save it as a preset.

Here is another free one similar to Tonespace. Don't know how to map it to keys, never used it.

You probably know this one,but "dropping" your "low E" string to "D" you can then do "one finger power chords",meaning instead of two fingers to do "first/5th/first octave",by lowering the E to D,now those 3 notes,are "you guessed it" 1 finger!,on the 3 lowest strings,1 fret-1finger.

A good example of this is an Alice In Chains song "Them Bones",the entire "rhythm part"of this song is played using this technique.

Then again,what I'm suggesting,probably has "absolutely nothing" to do with what your hoping to achieve!

I wonder if Sonar's arpeggiator would help out, maybe some of the settings will do what you are looking for

Thanks Marcus for the vid link, the appreciator awesome as it is, isn’t quite what I’m looking for. Also the VST plugs… Tonespace, midiChord, ChodSpace, Chordmem don’t fit the bill either.
 
I’ve done some more research and can now explain what I want to achieve much better.
 
Yamaha have what they call “single finger mode” you can play any major chord by just pressing the key in the chord area with the same name. Adding a black key on the left of this key will make it a minor chord and an extra white key on the left will make it a 7th chord. I don’t want any auto accompaniment appreciator crap I just want an easy way to play chords washes.
 
Anymore Ideas?

Thanks Jonesey What's a S/h market?

Not an option for live gigging mate! I use Mobius Looper VSTi and 8.5.3 on stage and I already take to gigs

Plus a PA, blah balh blah
 
So it’s got to be a Vst solution
