Preview Chords on Piano Roll

[Dum-Dum-Um]

I'm very new to LMMS and music production in general. I wanted to start making music by ear. My question is if there's a way to preview chords on the piano roll the same way you can with single keys?

Do you have a perfect pitch?

If not, doing it by ear is probably not gonna work.

I do not understand what you mean by preview.

LMMS knows a ton of chords.

Does this help ?

When you have the piano roll open, you can click the keys to hear what they sound like before you place the notes. I wanted to know if you could do that with the chord option selected.

Depends. If you have a chord selected in the instrument window's Stacking options, then yes. But if you have a chord selected in the piano roll editor, you cannot preview. You can only listen, after placing the notes and pressing play.

Yes it is a tiny bit difficult to explain, but i have made a video that demonstrate not only how to pre-'view'/ hear any size chords in piano-roll, even if only a PC-keyboard is used -That will restrict the possible simultaneous played notes to 3, but with this method, you can play any number.
