Assigning Chords with the MIDI Keyboard

If you know which chord you want to assign to a specific chord pad, you can use a MIDI keyboard or the On-Screen Keyboard.

Prerequisite

You have selected a MIDI track or an instrument track.

Procedure

  1. Right-click the chord pad that you want to use for the new chord, and select Assign Pad from MIDI Input.

    The borders of the chord pad change their color to indicate that it is now ready for recording.

  2. On your MIDI keyboard or on the On-Screen Keyboard, press the keys for the chord that you want to assign.

    The chord and its voicing are assigned to the chord pad, and you hear an acoustic feedback of the chord.

    Note

    The assigned voicing can be changed by the Adaptive Voicing setting. Therefore, if you want to keep the voicing for that specific pad, right-click the chord pad and select Lock from the context menu.
