Chords track
A Chords track is included in every project. You can assign a VST or MIDI instrument to this track to hear any chords that you input into the score as chord symbols in playback.
The Chords track appears above the top player track in the event display, and is one of the tracks you can hide/show.
The Chords track comprises the following:
-
Track height adjuster
Allows you to change the height of the track by clicking and dragging its bottom corner.
-
Track header
Shows the name of the track and contains appropriate options, such as the button that enables/disables chords playback.
-
Chords
Indicates where chord symbols exist in the flow and shows the chord symbol name.
The Chords track header contains the following:
-
Track disclosure arrow
Allows you to expand/collapse the track.
-
Track name
Shows the name of the track.
-
VST or MIDI Instrument menu
Allows you to select an instance of a VST or MIDI instrument to use for chords playback.
-

-

-
Port menu
Allows you to change the endpoint to which the Chords track is assigned by selecting the port you want to use when using a plug-in that has multiple ports of 16 channels.
-
Slot menu
Allows you to change the endpoint to which the Chords track is assigned by selecting the slot in the selected VST instrument, or channel in the selected MIDI instrument, that you want to use for chords playback.
You can use an existing slot containing a sound already loaded in the project, or you can use a new slot with a new sound loaded just for chords.
Note-
You must assign a VST or MIDI instrument and a slot for the Chords track in order to hear chords in playback.
-
If you assign an empty slot to your Chords track and later add more instruments to your project, the sounds for the new instruments overwrite the slot.
