Cubase Chord Pads - Very Useful!

[@LanewoodStudios]

Have you used the chord pads before? If so, how do you use them?

[@winip9261]

This was just plain excellent! There is absolutely no filler - just clear, concise well-paced teaching. Thank you so much.

[@LanewoodStudios]

Thanks and you’re welcome!

[@nungu60a]

I like how you point out very interesting nuances and provide contexts

[@LanewoodStudios]

Thanks!

[@frans688]

Grate thanks, You just what i need to lern how use it instead of how great you play.

[@LanewoodStudios]

Great that it was useful. Definitely no great playing here 😉.

[@dougb3854]

Never used it before but will now ! Thanks for the tutorial

[@LanewoodStudios]

You’re welcome!

[@creatiw]

Awesome video.I've been watching your Cubase chord/scale assistance series and find them really helpful. Thank you very much!

[@LanewoodStudios]

Thanks very much!

[@johansandberg503]

I was just getting into chord pads when finding your very good walktrough, exelent work thank you :) Am using chord pads to learn music theory from a beginners view like trying out what sounds good without knowing exactly the definition of the chords.

[@LanewoodStudios]

Good timing then 😉. And good luck on your music theory journey!

[@composer8654]

Thanks for the playlist.Not sure if mentioned anywhere but you can also save chord presets, like if you create a set of chords that you might want to reuse then saving them as a preset is a great way to get back to them

[@LanewoodStudios]

Yes I knew that but didn’t specially mention it in the video. Thanks for adding that!

[@RebelleTL]

Mannnn Cubase change the game with this!

[@LanewoodStudios]

Yes it’s great!

if you play something and record as midi event then you can drag this as a midi pattern in pattern option left up corner works on both guitar hai piano

[@ErixSamson]

Cubase is so powerful

[@LanewoodStudios]

Very much so 👍

[@KyriCB]

Great video and explanation, thank you so much! How do you record your screen for these tutorials and what software do you use for editing or do you send it off to freelancers for editing. Thanks once again for your help!!

[@LanewoodStudios]

Thanks, I have a separate video on how I do the screen and audio capturing for these videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iau0l2xqe759g6c And another one about how I make these videos more in general, including the editing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6PdoWmYoZ6Ura8

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.

[@LanewoodStudios]

I’m using windows as well so it should be possible for you as well. This is Cubase 12 though and I know some things have changed in Cubase 13. I still need to dig into that myself.

[@glenngollobin6602]

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

[@LanewoodStudios]

@glenngollobin6602 excellent and you are welcome!

[@njm20music]

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]

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.

[@njm20music]

thank you for that info a brilliant series on the chord pads@@LanewoodStudios

[@LanewoodStudios]

@@njm20music thank you!

[@ArnoudCarel]

Is there a way to make the chord track play patterns? It looks as if only the Chord Pads can play patterns.

[@LanewoodStudios]

You can have the chord track control a VSTi that plays patterns (e.g. a Kontakt guitar).

[@colorcaoz]

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.

[@LanewoodStudios]

All good ideas. Sound like you were using chord pads with patterns a bit already?

[@colorcaoz]

@@LanewoodStudios I am experimenting a bit. If @Steinberg adds the few features that I have mention, it will have me replace using scaler.

[@LanewoodStudios]

@@colorcaoz ah yes that's a very extensive app that can do a lot more. But it's not so well integrated with Cubase of course.

[@colorcaoz]

@@LanewoodStudios It work’s okay but needed lot of routing as if I load multiple instances but if we can have few more functionality on chord pad I guess it will e game changer for midi sampling. @Steinberg should look into this .

[@Thisninjascared]

Why can’t I retrigger the pads? When I try to play the same pad twice it stops? Anybody know how to fix this?

[@LanewoodStudios]

Not noticed this myself.

[@buckycore]

I forget to take more advantage of this feature. This is how Cubase excells beyond just the chord track and such. Now, I just want a tutorial on how to make virtual acoutic guitars to not sound like Harpsichords 🤣🤣🤣

[@LanewoodStudios]

😂😁👍

[@fractionjackson]

this doesnt seem to be same in cubase 13... none of the options are the same for me

[@LanewoodStudios]

Yes it has changed quite a bit in Cubase 13. This is the new essentials video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3bLfoWan7GZmrc And this is the follow-up about the advanced features: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWHdhGpjjdipd5I Enjoy!

[@subramaniamchandrasekar1397]

Cubase chords are good. But playing chords in rhythmic patterns to suit genres is not available. Thank you for the video

[@LanewoodStudios]

There are some patterns that you can setup for the players or even import your own midi loop for a pattern like I showed in the video. Check it out.

[@ramspencer5492]

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.

[@ramspencer5492]

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.

[@LanewoodStudios]

@@ramspencer5492 sure you can import your own loops as well. And they will adapt to the chords then.
