This default behaviour can be changed so that only those tracks whose MIDI input routing is set to ‘Chord Pads’ will receive the signal from the pads. This in turn means that any Instrument or MIDI track that’s monitor-enabled will receive the output from the Chord Pads – and will record this output if record-enabled – rather than monitoring/recording the unadulterated MIDI signal that arrives at Cubase’s MIDI input. This means that by default, when the Chord Pads panel is open, their effect will be applied to all incoming MIDI signals. In terms of where they lie in the MIDI signal path, Chord Pads sit between Cubase’s MIDI input and the track(s) the input is routed to. The keyboard graphic also shows the actual notes that are sounding when a pad is triggered. This indicates which MIDI note each pad is assigned to, along with any further control keys that are in use (which we’ll come back to in a moment). From here, you can set the number of pads, configure each pad’s chord and voicing characteristics and play those chords by simply clicking on a pad.Ĭhords can also be triggered from an external controller, such as a keyboard or pad controller: when the Chord Pads are active, a keyboard graphic is shown at the top of their panel. The Chord Pads panel is displayed in the lower zone of Cubase’s project window, under that zone’s Chord Pads tab. In our previous Cubase workshop, we show you how to use Chord Tracks.
