4. FrE.C free chord selection and playback
By default, a chord's root note will always conform to the key/scale you chose for your song upon playback (you may still program an root note that does not fit the scale). For example, with the default C major scale, possible chord root notes are always the white keys of an imaginary piano (e.g. C, D, E, F, G, A, B) but not the black keys.
Changing the root note of a chord by editing a step on the chord track, will normally always sound/play the closest "legal" note of your chosen key/scale/mode. So if you would, for example, choose a root note of C sharp for a song that is in the key of C major, your Woovebox will play a chord with a C root note (closest "legal" note for that scale), and not a C sharp (which is an "illegal" note for that scale).
Setting FrE.C to 'yes' option allows for turning this behavior off, and allow you to freely play back (not just program) chords with root notes that are out-of-scale.

- MIDI In (under MIDI, Sync and connecting other gear)
For notes, your Woovebox responds to note on/off and velocity information only.
