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.
