tip top..such an oversight from Logic developers to omit this functionality.

[@kaysha]

I tried that yesterday with chord trigger or Chtulhu and yeah, it works very well. Great work

[@SvenTydemanMusic]

Thank you :) Awesome Kaysha - you’re all over it!!

[@Klymenvit]

Thank you! I hope they finalize the chord track.

[@SvenTydemanMusic]

Absolute pleasure LEGEND!! I agree that would be fantastic if Apple provide some more functionality re: chord track editor - At least we have a few work arounds :)

Tip from another video: Type “p” while a section in session track is selected and you will the piano roll. You can edit what you want and it will stay.

[@SvenTydemanMusic]

Great tip!! Thank you :) 🙏🏻

I wish I could do this with any imported midi chords file.

[@issiewizzie]

i thought you could...going by the demo play the midi chords while using the midi input function /tab

[@anarchy0208]

@@issiewizzie Yes. I forgot internal midi in can do that. Thanks for noticing me.

[@SvenTydemanMusic]

Yes you can ;) as mentioned above! 👆

[@pharmacawy2010]

I think if you dragged the recorded midi track to chord track region it will catch the chords and update 😅

[@SvenTydemanMusic]

Unfortunately I don’t believe that works :( would be great if it did though :)

[@jotamarsmusic]

Hi, this seems great but I did exactly what you did in the first and second method and I can't make this work. When I press record the chord track is no longer selected and the midi input turns off so when I press tab nothing happens. Am I missing something? Is there any settings option I need to be aware? Thanks

[@SvenTydemanMusic]

Great question! You will want to have the Chord Track selected as you play! Try this: Use "G" to open the global commands window. 2. Use the + icon in the chord track to open 8 bars of the chord arrangement. It will probably say "c" for 8 bars 3. double click on the chord track arrangement. 4. Select the midi input - don't close this window! This will have all the chords and extensions. 5. Now play your song / record and TAB for inputting the chord. Let me know how you go

[@jotamarsmusic]

@@SvenTydemanMusicI just found what the problem was! You have selected the track in the "Internal MIDI In" on the track header on the left, and I didn't have it selected! Thanks

[@SvenTydemanMusic]

Awesome! I’m glad you have it sorted :)
