Chord Pads
Chord pads allow you to play with chords, and to change their voicings and
tensions. In terms of harmonies and rhythms, they allow for a more playful and
spontaneous approach to composition than the chord track functions.
You can:
• Perform with chords in realtime via a MIDI keyboard.
• Record your performance as MIDI events on a MIDI or instrument track or
even on the chord track.
NOTE
We assume that you have a MIDI keyboard connected and set up.
