Recording Chords on Instrument Tracks
You can record chords that are triggered by chord pads on MIDI or instrument tracks.
PREREQUISITE
You have connected and set up a MIDI keyboard, you have opened and set up the chord pads,
and you have added an instrument or a MIDI track for which a VST instrument is loaded.
PROCEDURE
1. On the instrument track, click Record Enable or Monitor.
NOTE
If Record-Enable allows MIDI Thru is deactivated in the Preferences dialog (Record—MIDI
page), you must activate Monitor to use the chord pads.
2. On the Transport panel, activate Record.
3. On your MIDI keyboard, press the keys that trigger the chord pads.
RESULT
The triggered chords are recorded on the track. The note events are automatically assigned to
different MIDI channels according to their pitches. Note events that correspond to the soprano
voice are assigned to MIDI channel 1, alto is assigned to MIDI channel 2, and so on.
AFTER COMPLETING THIS TASK
Open the Key Editor and ne-tune your recorded MIDI parts using the chord editing functions,
for example. You can also use
MIDI > Dissolve Part to dissolve the recorded chords by pitches/
channels.

and you have added an instrument or a MIDI track for which a VST instrument is loaded.
PROCEDURE
1. On the instrument track, click Record Enable or Monitor.
NOTE
If Record-Enable allows MIDI Thru is deactivated in the Preferences dialog (Record—MIDI
page), you must activate Monitor to use the chord pads.
