Do you use the chord pads already? If not you may be missing out!
Thanks - very helpful overview! Could you go over the pattern function in chord pads next, please?

That would be nice the advanced video. I’ll put it on the list 😁.
That's brilliant, I understand now. As an older fellow, the Cubase manual alone is a bit difficult to grasp. If it doesn't over burden your 'Yoke', the advanced Chord Pad features video tutorial you mentioned, would really give a complete understanding. Hopefully Cubase will recognise the great benefit you give them.. Many thanks

Great that the video is useful to you. More videos are in the playlist I'm linking at the end and in the description.
Very helpful video - I use the chord pads quite often when composing or building up a scratch track to serve as a basis for a more complete recording. I have the feeling I'm leaving lots of functionality on the table though - I for one would love to see the "advanced" video you talked about possibly making in the future.

Hi, Thanks for all the videos you have put up for all to watch you have helped me out the last 2 weeks since I've got Cubase for the first time! I'm sorry if you have covered this in this tutorial I may be going crazy but can you change the octave of the chords? Is it the way you show with the little arrows that point up and down in the (higher lower key) part of you tutorial?
@LanewoodStudios

Yes that changes the voicings of the chord. But if you have chords in midi already (so not on chord pads) you can checkout this video on how to manipulate those more easily then moving individual notes: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gH1qx8l-oqiYYKQ.html

Thanks for your reply 👍 I was kind of hoping to change the octave up while playing the chords while in the pad mode. But as you say the voicing changes. I will check out the video you sent me. Thanks again.👍
Thank you for another great Cubase vid on Lanewood Studios! 😊 Also - can you explain please if Cubase 13 Chord Pads would be helpful for someone with good-to-very-good keyboard skills? Thank you!

You're welcome! It's hard for me to say as it's particularly helpful to me to quickly play chords for VST instruments when I cannot grab them on a keyboard so easily. Maybe give it a try and see if it adds something for you as well?

Thanks for your overview really helped as new to Cubase! Can I ask is there away of having the chords and the single keys on the keyboard? So that I could play the chords with just pushing 1 key while being able to play single keys at the same time. TIA

I think you need a midi keyboard for that!
Is Emvoice one vst free? When chord pad is opened a solo note plays..n the rest in ur review works fine.

@@LanewoodStudios No Sir...chord pad is a different issue related to ur review.
Is there a way to make sure that when I drag and drop a midi event onto the chord track, or when I directly take chords from the chord pads to create a chord track, the chords remain exactly the same without changing anything? Usually, the chord track does not give me the same chords that I provided it. Also, when I drag them from the chord track to a midi channel, they are not the same.
@LanewoodStudios

I don't think so. Please check my video on the chord track om how to influence how the chords are played on the chord track, but I don't think you can retain the exact voicing that you dragged in. if that is what you want, just drag the chord pad to a midi track instead. After you have your midi you can drag the midi to the chord track to still get chord symbols based o the midi.
l'm using Chord Pads much more often in Cubase 13

It’s a nice handy feature for when you don’t have keyboard skills or just have no keyboard connected.
There used to be major and minor keys in the presets. Anybody know where they are now?

Yes I noticed that too. They seem to be gone. You can easily recreate them of course and then get them in all keys by switching the root in the chord pads section.

HI I have 2 problem: I can't set up step-by-step data entry, in settings it is flagged but it doesn't light up. Also, why do I also hear the sound of the Vst note when I press the chord pad key on the keyboard? I should just hear the chord. Thank you
