So, he can just change up the patch on the synth then quickly capture his chord progression into the OT. When he wants to sample those chords, he sets up his OT to record whatever inputs has whichever synth he wants to record and he sends the OT MIDI track to that synth. What Barker does, I believe, is he has an OT project where he has a progression of chords laid out on a MIDI track. Now, you can copy the trigs to any track on your device to quickly and easily structure chord progressions together (or for use with arps). Once you have a library of chords stored in a default project, you can start your new projects by loading the default and saving it as a new project. The concept is the same send the MIDI information to the auto-channel of your device while holding down a trig in grid recording mode. You could either play these manually using a MIDI controller or use a VST in your DAW like Scaler 2 or an app in iOS like ChordPolyPad to generate chords and progressions. Now, you can build up a library of chords in a default project. The size of the chords you can store is limited by the amount of notes per step the device supports 4 notes on the OT, DT, and A4 and 8 on the DN IIRC. On the DN for example, if I hold down the first trig, set my Keystep to MIDI channel 10 (default auto-channel for this device), then play a 4 note chord, that chord is stored on that step. You can program chords on each step by using methods native to each machine OR by press and holding a step while in grid recording mode and sending MIDI notes to the autochannel of your device. One way that you can use the OT, DN, DT, and/or A4 to store chords would be to dedicate the last Bank/Pattern as a chord storage bank.
