    Great Tutorial, as are all of yours from Lanewood Studios. I am using Cubase 13 Pro in Windows. Some of the hovering and right click behaviors shown in the video are not available to me. Is that a Mac/Windows thing or is there some way I can enable these functions. For example, none of the arrows on the borders of the pads appear when the mouse hovers of a pad. Thank you.

    Your suggestion is right on target. I went back to version 12 and it behaved exactly as you demonstrated in the video. I am puzzled as to why functionality and presets would appear to be lost when transitioning to a new version. In addition I was able to access midi guitar patterns that will be quite useful. In fact, these sorts of patterns were the original reasons why I was exploring chord pads. This is by far the best video on this subject that I have viewed. There is so much in here, I will have to study and review it a few times.. Thanks so much.@@LanewoodStudios

    Chord pads are great feature. One thing I miss that it cannot preview the midi pattern if I try to import. Also it cannot show 3rd Party midi {or may be I am missing something} like EZkeys library on its menu. and only one pattern can be loaded per instance. It would be nice if the pattern is different per pad.

    HI, I'm using CB13, I build the chord in midi F1, F3,G3, A3, C4 Fmaj7/9, I want the chord pad to play that voicing, I have dropped the midi onto the chord track, then drop the chord onto the pad, I have the pad unlocked the chord drops onto the pad but not in the voicing I require. can you explain the best way to get the chord from a midi track onto the pad then, onto the chord track all with the same voicing.

  • @LanewoodStudios

    @LanewoodStudios

    3 ай бұрын

    I don't think you can do it like that. As soon as you drop the chord on the chord track, the voicing will be adjusted as set on the chord track. You can directly midi learn to a chord pad though by playing a chord on your midi keyboard.

    Couldn't you make your own midi parts, arpeggios etc, save it and use it as a template to trigger the chord playing style? That wouldn't be a perfect solution.... But it might be a time saver.... You you can edit from there..... In long processes even cutting your time in half is a big deal. I like everything to be tailored as directly at possible to the project I'm working on.

    I mean if you're relying too much on a program that plays a midi instrument part for you..... You didn't really compose that. I think it's a balance.... When dealing with doing all of the instruments yourself. Better if whatever the starting point was, that it's so customized, that it's still pretty much your own composition. On every instrument. Loops for percussion is one thing. (still think those should be edited personally) But melodic loops (and midi loop parts) enters a whole different territory that's a little more dodgy. If it's free use it's not sketchy but it's still a little dodgy.
