Playing Back Chord Sections

You can play back chord sections of a chord pad. You can play the sections and their corresponding chord notes by using the remote keys that are assigned to them together with the remote keys that are assigned to a chord pad. To view and edit the remote key assignment for the sections, you can open the Player Remote Control tab.

Prerequisite

You have added an instrument track with an instrument assigned to your project. You have record-enabled the instrument track. You have a MIDI keyboard connected and set up. In the chord pads zone, you have activated Chord Pad Output Mode.

Procedure

  1. Click Show/Hide Player Setup, and in the Player Modes pop-up menu activate Sections.

    On the keyboard, the section remote range is highlighted in brown.

  2. On your MIDI keyboard, press any key that corresponds to the pads remote range.

    This normally triggers the chord pad, however, in Sections mode, you do not hear anything until you press a section remote key.

  3. On your MIDI keyboard, press any key that corresponds to the section remote range.

Result

The chord section of the chord whose chord pad you triggered is played back. You can press any other key in the section remote range to play different sections of the same chord, or press them all at once. You can use the remote keys for voicing, tension, and transpose to add variety.
