What ???  

Maybe my English has gone a bit "rusty"... or you have to learn to ask questions in a way people will understand...

Hi

A lot depends on what you are using to record/play the chords eg a midi keyboard and one of MMMs in built synthesizers, one of MMM synthesizers and the Midi Editor interface?

Have read the Midi Editor section of the installed pdf manual - see under Help in MMM

Hi

Trying to play chords is possible using the internal keyboard ie the computer keyboard however is can be difficult as the key/note combinations are not necessarily in the correct places more specifically a US keyboard has the | key in a different position.  MMM is set for an International keyboard layout as shown in the image

So the key sequence    |    Z    X   C   V   B    plays the notes    C   D   E   F   G   A 

With a US keyboard the |  key is in a different position.

If this is a one off project try using the Midi Editor where you 'draw' the notes and can set up your chords etc - however I find this is very time consuming the manual gives you more information on using this.

The best way, if possible, is to use a USB  Midi keyboard, so you can play the chords directly using your selected synthesizer in MMM, again see the manual about using an external keyboard.

Nihon69 has instructions for setting one up here
