Chord Assistant – Proximity Mode (Cubase Pro only)

The proximity mode of the Chord Assistant window uses a set of harmonic rules to offer suggestions that match the origin chord.

The origin chord in the bottom center of the Chord Assistant window marks the tonal center. The farther away a chord suggestion is situated from this chord, the more complex the suggestion. The suggested chords are triads or 4-note chords.

• To play a suggested chord, click it.

  The last 3 suggested chords that you clicked are shown with a highlighted border.

• To assign a suggestion to the next unassigned chord pad, right-click the suggested chord and select Assign to Pad.

  You can also drag the suggested chord and drop it on a chord pad.

• To assign a suggestion to the next unassigned chord pad and use this chord as origin for further suggestions, right-click the suggested chord and select Assign to Pad and Use as Origin.
