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
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.
Good afternoon. This was a very interesting video on the Chord Pads. I enjoyed it very much. I do hope that you will make a more advanced video on the chord pads. But, until then I am going to work on the information that you have already given us today. Thank you for sharing your talents with us today. I wish you continued success with all of your future videos and endeavors. I also wish you continued success financially as well. Thank you again for making this video. Your efforts are helping us beginners tremendously. Have a wonderful day and week.
Wow, this video was incredibly helpful in understanding how to use chord pads, something I was previously unaware of. I'm definitely interested in learning about the advanced features. Also, I've subscribed to your channel - you've earned it. Thanks! Have a Blessed day!
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?
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: ua-cam.com/video/NI6egErE20A/v-deo.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.👍
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
Good helpful video. I don't see the option to set a midi track to follow the Chord Track in Cubase 13. It used to be under the Inspector colum on the left with a chord button, but now the follow chord button is not there in Cubase 13. Would you please reply or please create a short song with different kinds of midi tracks and having all those midi, vst instrument tracks, audio loop track to follow the chord track? Thanks.
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?
Great video! Is there a way to "lock" the key in chord pad? When i'm demoing different chord pad settings, it changes the root key as I scroll. If my song is in Fminor, for example, i want the chord pads to stay in F minor as i flip through the different settings.
is it possible that cubase could tell us how to land on key we want ? I mean we know that we want to land on some specific key, can cubase can tell us how do we get there from the key we are in? Im sorry for my english i know it isnt pefect :)
I bought a new midi keyboard, oxygen49mkV, it gives me the same issue. I press the key assigned for the chord in chord pad and I only get one note, not a chord.
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.
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.
when I press the right key on my midi contoller it works, but, it plays the note I'm hitting which doesn't belong to the chord.. is that a midi controller issue?
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.
Sure but I’m a guitar player and not a keyboard player. And it takes a lot of time to learn to play every instrument proficiently. So this is an alternative for that which I’ve found to work quite well.
@@LanewoodStudios Some gifts take more than they give. When we give God's gifts the light, they will bloom beyond the bounds of any computer's Artificial Imagination. That will never change. On the other hand, this might help some people bung out a few chords if they're in a hurry and they ask the rentor nicely.
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
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 😁.

NIce. I often forget how useful Cubase Chord Pads really are. Enjoy watching your tutorials.
Thanks 😎😁

Very helpful. All of your videos are. Thanks for explaining this more obscure part of Cubase. I've subscribed to your excellent channel.
Glad it was helpful and thank you for subscribing.

Thank you very much. And the advanced chord pads video is available already.
Great video, well explained, I’ve been hunting for the input from keyboard facility for ages cheers👌👍👍
Great!
Nice clear explanation, thank you. Reminded me of some things I'd forgotten and introduced me to some new ideas.
Glad it was helpful!
Vielen Dank für dieses tolle lehrreiche Video, gerne mehr davon 😀
Great that the video is useful to you. More videos are in the playlist I'm linking at the end and in the description.

I think you need a midi keyboard for that!

Thank you! On the chord pads area where you set the root key (on the left), you can also disable 'Transpose pads'. Is that what you mean?

chordpads arpeggios cant be added with click-drag. Has to be recorded 😞
Yes, something for a follow-up video.

After you have your midi you can drag the midi to the chord track to still get chord symbols based o the midi.
Is it possible to assign just one key on my midi keyboard to each chord-it is requiring me to play the full chord
When you have the chord pads assigned, you should be able to play each chord pad with a single key on your keyboard yes.
Is Emvoice one vst free?
When chord pad is opened a solo note plays..n the rest in ur review works fine.
Not sure about envoice one. Is it related to chord pads? Not sure what happens for you with that solo note.
@@LanewoodStudios No Sir...chord pad is a different issue related to ur review.
when I press the right key on my midi contoller it works, but, it plays the note I'm hitting which doesn't belong to the chord.. is that a midi controller issue?
Maybe your midi input is also playing back on another track?
@@LanewoodStudios I only have 1 track-I made a project just to play with the chord pad.
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.
Need scale lock and ghost notes for cubasis 3
👍
Advanced video please...
👍
Buy a piano and learn to play it, and this will save some disk-space for bloated packages with redundant features.
Sure but I’m a guitar player and not a keyboard player. And it takes a lot of time to learn to play every instrument proficiently. So this is an alternative for that which I’ve found to work quite well.

1. Not sure. Please check the manual.
2. There might be another VSTi listening to your midi input?
@@LanewoodStudios 2) YES because otherwise how can I hear the pads?
@@LanewoodStudios
thanks I solved everything 1) I had to insert chord track 2) in the inspector I had to insert all midi and not my midi keystation
@@pakipoli4895 ah great 👍.
