Using Live Transform
Live Transform allows you to transpose the MIDI input live to a chord progression on the chord
track. This way, you do not have to worry about what key you hit on your MIDI keyboard as the
MIDI input is transposed to match chords or scales on your chord track in real time.
PROCEDURE
1. Create a MIDI or an instrument track and activate Record Enable.
2. In the Inspector, open the Chords section.
3. Open the Live Transform pop-up menu and do one of the following:
To map the MIDI input to chord events, select Chords.
To map the MIDI input to scale events, select Scales.
4. Hit some keys on your MIDI keyboard or on the On-Screen Keyboard.
RESULT
Any key that you hit is mapped in real time to the chord or scale events on the chord track.
Using Follow Chord Track

PROCEDURE
1. Select the track that you want to match to the chord track.
2. In the Inspector, click Chords.
3. Open the Follow Chord Track pop-up menu and select a mode.
NOTE
If this is the rst time that you open this pop-up menu for the track, the Follow Chord
Track dialog opens.
4. In the Follow Chord Track dialog, make your settings.
5. Click OK.
RESULT
The events on your track now match the chord progression on the chord track.
NOTE
If you matched your MIDI track to the chord track, some of the original MIDI notes may be
muted. To hide these notes in the editors, activate Hide Muted Notes in Editors in the
Preferences dialog (Editing—Chords page).
