How do I stop Cubase from doing that “automagically”? Is it the adaptive voicing feature? Then what is it adapting to? I drag a C major, then open its editor, then click on C inside it … and the notes get shifted around! It’s still the same C maj chord, but modified. I must be doing something wrong.Īfter dragging the C major chord to the chord track, it sounds in lower octave, not the same as when I click the C pad in the chord pads area. Then I started dragging the chords to the chord track and fiddling with them and found a few issues. But now it seems I have to enable recording to hear the chords on a track, which is somehow counterintuitive - I imagined that the record button is for recording from external sources - audio, midi keyboards etc., not for internal Cubase track wiring (especially considering that I had already set the chord track to control the synth pad track).Īt first, Cubase generated chords with additional base notes but I wanted to start with basic triads, so with some fiddling around I found that I can switch to Basic Player mode. I imagined that the supposed workflow is that I create chords on the chord track and then the chord track pushes the notes to other tracks. If I click on the chord track itself, I see this: What’s confusing is that I have to click on the synth track to make the pads work. I inserted a chord track into one of my experimental projects (trying to duplicate an existing song for learning purposes and also to create a karaoke version of the song) and then inserted a new Halion synth pad track and set the chord track to control the synth track. I recently bought Cubase Elements and now trying to leverage Chord Track feature to compensate for my not so good music theory skills.
