Assigning Chords with the Proximity Assistant

If you have a chord that you want to use as a starting point for finding follow-on chords, you can use the Proximity assistant.

Procedure

  1. On the toolbar, activate Show/Hide Chord Assistant Window.
  2. Open the Proximity assistant.
  3. Select the chord pad that has the chord assigned that you want to use as a reference for suggestions.

    The reference chord is shown at the bottom, in the center of the Proximity assistant. The further away the chord is from the reference chord, the more complex the suggestion becomes.

  4. Optional: In the Proximity assistant, click the chord symbols to audition the corresponding chords.
  5. To assign a chord to a chord pad, drag it out of the Proximity assistant, and drop it on a chord pad.
    Note

    If one of the chord pads is unassigned, you can also double-click the chord in the Chord Assistant window to assign it to the first unassigned pad.

Result

The chord is assigned to the chord pad. It is played back to give you acoustic feedback.
