Assigning Chords with the MIDI Keyboard
If you know which chord you want to assign to a specific chord pad, you can use a MIDI
keyboard.
PREREQUISITE
You have selected a MIDI track or an instrument track.
PROCEDURE
1. Right-click the chord pad that you want to use for the new chord, and select Assign Pad
from MIDI Input.
The borders of the chord pad change their color to indicate that it is now ready for
recording.
2. On your MIDI keyboard, press the keys for the chord that you want to assign.
The chord and its voicing is assigned to the chord pad, and you hear an acoustic feedback
of the chord.
NOTE
The assigned voicing can be changed by the Adaptive Voicing setting. Therefore, if you
want to keep the voicing for that specific pad, right-click the chord pad and select Lock
from the context menu.

Assigning Chords from the Chord Track
You can assign the chord events from the chord track to the chord pads.
PROCEDURE
To the left of the chord pads, click the Functions Menu button, and select Assign Pads
from Chord Track.
If chords are already assigned to the chord pads, a warning message informs you that all
previous assignments will be overwritten.
RESULT
The chord events are assigned to the chord pads in the same order as they appear on the chord
track.
NOTE
Chord events that have more than one occurrence on the chord track are only assigned once.
Moving and Copying Chord Pads
You can swap the chord assignments between 2 pads or copy a specific chord and its settings
from one pad to another.
To swap the chord pad assignment between 2 pads, click a chord pad and drag it to
another chord pad.
While you drag, the border of the destination chord pad changes its color. When you drop
the pad on another, the chord assignments are swapped.
