I've tried out the experimental firmware tonight in the context of working on the backbone of a piece I'm putting together where the pads would benefit from a bit of "sus" - had the NDLR powered from a laptop with Teensy Loader so I could quickly switch between the two firmware versions.
For this piece, the old (theoretically wrong) method is ideal, because I can exploit the dissonance that can occur by changing key & mode - my piece is actually in D Dorian, but if I set the NDLR to C Lydian and Pad to sus4 I get a dissonant chord on the C and the bonus of Drone also being low, which is what this piece needs. However, the desire for true suspended chords is also valid.
Steve - Any chance the key-respecting/theory-respecting methods for sus chords could be switchable? Encoder 8 in Settings 3 might be a good place, as its current role of displaying serial number or firmware version makes it seem a bit wasted, given that those are displayed on boot anyway.
There's no such thing as a wrong chord - you just have to play it more than once.
