Working with the Chord Functions
The Chord Track
• To set up voicings for an individual chord event, select it and select the voicing
from the Voicing pop-up menu on the info line.
Ö When “Automatic Voicings” is activated in the “Chord Track” Inspector, you can only
change the voicings for the first chord event on the info line.
• To set up a voicing library (Guitar, Piano, or Basic) for the whole chord track,
select it from the pop-up menu in the “Chord Track” Inspector section.
• To select a voicing library subset, select it from the pop-up menu.
• To adjust the voicing parameters, click the “Configure voicing parameters” button.
For further information, see “Configuring Voicing Parameters” on page 547.
• To let Cubase set the voicings automatically, activate “Automatic Voicings” in the
chord track Inspector.
This is useful if you do not want the individual voices to jump too much.
• To make sure that the chord events also affect the MIDI notes that have been
triggered too early, enter a negative number of ticks as “
Mapping Offset”.
Scale Events
A scale is a sequence of notes that belong to a specific root note. You can add scale
events on the scale lane. Scale events determine which notes are allowed in a specific
chord (vertically) or in a row of chords (horizontally). Scale events have a specific start
position. Their end is determined by the start of the next scale event.
• To show the scale lane in the lower part of the chord track, activate the “Show
Scales” button.
