Assigning Chord Events to MIDI Effects or VST Instruments

Prerequisite

Create a chord progression on the chord track and add a MIDI or instrument track to your project.

Procedure

  1. In the Inspector for the MIDI or instrument track, open the MIDI Inserts section.
  2. Click an insert slot and select Chorder from the Effect Type pop-up menu.

    The Chorder effect is activated, and its control panel opens.

  3. On the chord track, select the chord events and drag them to the Chorder control panel.

    The drop position determines the velocity area and the position of the first chord event. All subsequent chord events are mapped chromatically. Chord events with more than one occurrence are only assigned once.

    To remap the chords, hold down Alt and drag again.

  4. On your MIDI keyboard, hit the corresponding keys to play back the chords.
