Players and Voicings
Different types of instruments and styles have different voicing libraries. These
determine how the chords are played back, and which pitches are played. In the
chord pads zone, these voicings are referred to as players.

Adaptive Voicing
In Cubase, the Adaptive Voicing setting ensures that pitches in chord
progressions do not change abruptly.
By default, Adaptive Voicing is activated and the voicings of the chord pads are
determined automatically according to specific voice leading rules.
If you want to set the voicing of a specific chord pad manually, and do not to want
it changed automatically, you can use the Voicing control to the right of a chord
pad. When you assign your own voicing, Adaptive Voicing is deactivated for that
chord pad, so that the pad does no longer follow the voice leading rules of the
voicing reference. To activate Adaptive Voicing again, right-click the chord pad
and activate Adaptive Voicing.
To lock the voicing for a chord pad, you can right-click the pad and activate Lock.
This locks this pad for editing and remote control changes, and deactivates
Adaptive Voicing. To unlock the chord pad again, right-click the pad and
deactivate Lock.
