Allow sending chords through MIDI #184

It would be nice to be able to send chords from a MIDI instrument to control poly/para-phonic synths.

Id imagine this working by having a new setting on MIDI instruments that enables sending chords. You specify the chord type and then the now on a step for that instrument acts as the root note of the chord.

Extra functionality would be to add a FX CMD that allows changing the chord type.

It seems to me that you need to do chord customization on the instrument page, and make the display of chords as shown by m8 in hypersynth, it will be much more convenient and clear, in commands will not be convenient.

@RAWJUNGLE Thanks for the feedback.

As per my description of this issue, my idea is to specify the chord type on the MIDI instrument screen and also potentially support change the chord via a fx command.

BTW I get inspiration from a number of different sources including other existing grooveboxes but it is specifically not the goal of this project to clone the functionality of the M8
