Love to new Chord Pad update!!🙏🏾 Question though? Where did y’all move the Get Chords from Chord track feature that use to be in the Chord pad drop down menu? That was literally my Favorite feature about the Chord pads, was to grab a chord progression from a sample and push it to the Chord pads with ease….
how to set simple triad in chord pad, I mean 1st 3rd and 5th without any base note. I tried to set it by various ways but in vain. If you kindly make a video on this, it will be helpful. Thanks.
@@DimitrisKambanos In that case, you need to activate recording on a VST Instrument Track, and then play the chords either with your mouse or with a MIDI Keyboard...
It would be nice if you were able to strum the chords .. it would sound more natural... maybe you can suggest that in an update.. it would make it more useful for me ..
This one of the most genius aspects of Cubase, in my opinion. As it allows more non-musicians to finally express the music within them in a far easier way! Just imagine how much more beautiful music the world will have when people, who don't know much about music theory, are able to express their creativity! Eddie Van Halen, Hendrix, Grohl, Reinhardt, Wes Montgomery, Clapton can't/couldn't read music, but look at their musical legacy!
Have you tried to make a midi clip with your custom strum and drop it in the chord pads as a pattern? You can then make the strumming more custom than RipChord, yes? RipChord is just a robot strum. I wish you could assign a pattern per pad, like Scaler 2. But Scalers UI is a crazy mess.
@@rikkshow yeah but dropping a custom strum is just more admin. I was actually thinking of moving to scaler just yesterday. Will use that till maybe Cubase 14 comes with something new regarding chords. But thank you for the suggestions.
Facts!!! I literally was thinking this as I was utilizing the chord pads to today! Like Cubase is soooo dope, but a few small features like that would make it perfect! And the ability to Chop samples with a midi controller in the sampler track would be so dope! Especially for Hip Hop Producers!
After watching this video, I confirmed my purchase of the Cubase 13 upgrade. I think this is the best guide video for beginners and people who are already familiar with the use of the tool. ❤
Any chance you could make it possible to trigger the virtual keyboard with mouse in the chord pad to give sound? For single notes, not chords. It would be much better than having to use the existing virtual keyboard. Hope you will do this Would be so nice when not using midi keyboard
Can Cubase import the Melody Track to Chord Pad and Suggest the Chord Progression for that Melody as Top Voice Leading ? I think if Cubase can do it then Cubase is Best DAW for composer and producer.
Despite the new additions Cubase is still very user-unfriendly and not made for people who actually know how to play an instrument. Long time ago it was made for musicians. Today it's made for the 99% of the population who can't play an instrument and just want to copy/paste sounds and beats. It's all about profit, not about music. But that goes for Steinberg's competitors too.
I don't know. I find it extremely confusing now. Before it was straight forward now every time you click or change something all the chords change or only one chord pad changes. I bought Cubase 13 with the last discount and I still don't get how this works now. Before I could just set the chord pads to Emin and all chords would change that doesn't happen anymore or I didn't find the right switch. Yes this has more features but for me it's extremely confusing.
At around 7:15, Dom mentiones the chord pads color coding as relating to the colors of "the assistant". I wonder to which specific assistant it relates, as there are at least two, i.e., the list assistant and the the circle of fifth assistant. The Proximity assistant from Cubase 12 has obviously disappeared in Cubase 13 Pro.
Hi, new chord pad features are mind-blowing - thanks for the nice soulful demo! I am still on C12 and would like to ask if I can import my USER presets from C12 to C13, are user chord pad presets compatible with the newest version?
So what if you have a majorly minor understanding of all that technical music speak, I mean you're flat out uneducated and you'd like to sound really sharp even though your music is filled with the wrong accidentals... more specifically, what if I have a nice chord progression but I'm stuck and don't know where to go next, or what if I am chronically unable to come up with a chord change for a lift in the chorus... how can Cubase Pro help?
If there is a chord track with chords, can Cubase limit the chords on Chord-pad to only those which are compatible with the chord currently playing on the chord track?
None of that works in anything other than the top of the range version as far as I can see. Step mode wont trigger in artist version and when you drag drop chords from the chord editor it loses any pattern association it has. UInless Im doing something wrong?
Can this chord system also produce glissandos as well? Would be great to define a play different single styles for each chord pad that produce single notes in different styles and follow ups. 👍💯 Like a real piano player does..
Cubase is the ultimate MIDI sequencer. Beats any DAW with composing and arrangement. With mixing though, the Cubase 13 interface confused me. As a result, I am back to Pro Tools for mixing. I now use Cubase/Nuendo for my compositions exclusively, which is what it set out to do in the first place anyway. Mixing is second nature to Cubase. I prefer the clean and uncluttered PT interface.
Cheers Dom. Quick question - do you have preferred template for NI Maschine in Cubase (since I see Maschine right there on your desk). I always found Maschine DAW heavy with Cubase, although it does sync and all.
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
I used to load a preset, search the key, lets say F minor, boom, im ready, now it has more futuristic stuff but the basic thing is not there anymore, I wonder whether i can import the traditional patterns from C12 to C13
I have a question. Does anyone else have an issue where unless you play very separated notes, the chords sometimes fail to play, and only single notes play? I tried changing to various synths and am still experiencing this when in HOLD FIRST mode. Maybe I don't understand the other modes. " [Select Hold First to hold the notes of the first chord. No note-off message is sent. If the chords have common notes, these are not triggered again. Select Legato to release the notes of the first chord, except for the common notes. These are held and not triggered again. Select Stop First to release the notes of the first chord including the common notes. ]" This "Hold First" option is what I had, and it's definitely not working correctly on my system because the note offs are making the notes stop one way or another, so that when I play B, only the root of that chord is played (or some other note of the chord - I didn't confirm if it's always the root but I think it is.)
Someone please help. When I try to change that eq in the channel section on the left hand side of cubase 13 it automatically opens that large window and doesn't allow me to click and edit in the small window. Is this a known bug?
Aren't chord progressions related to scales ? How can I change the scale of the chord progression ? Would be cool to select a scale (like scale selector/creator from the editor) then it builds the progression like the app "Suggester".
Thanks Dom. I've only recently started using chord pads and I do love them. I generally write my progressions by hand and while I know how to do it, I'm lazy and would rather not LOL. Also, there's some inspiration that can come from using chord pads. Looks like I should upgrade to Cubase 13 soon. I held off because I'm not too impressed with 12.
You should talk to your people at cubase and get them to add a feature to chord pads. Where when one of the chord pads is highlighted, it shows all the notes in that scale on the right side. Allowing you to play a chord pad with your left hand and with your right hand you play along with the reamaning keys on your keyboad to whatever notes are in that scale. Be a great way for non piano players to see what notes work with that scale in real-time.
How do I go lower than the voicing where the voicing stops (I guess in some circumstance I may find a desire to go higher as well)? I have a synth that's seeming to be in a normal range - I don't think it's very high pitched, and when I get to the bottom voicing (after which the down arrow is grayed out) I'm finding it's still rather high for the context - I guess the synth patch has unique overtones. Do we have an option somewhere to push this down (or up) past the somewhat arbitrary limits that seem to be imposed (arbitrary in the sense that every synth preset has different harmonics and some may sound "high" or "low" relative to their position, because of overtones or some such)? I guess the graying out of further ranges is meant to be helpful...or is necessary in some way I'm not clear on. I can switch it once I move it to the piano roll on a MIDI Track, but that does make it harder to do trial and error.
This is wonderful, you can get lost in playing around with beautiful sounds quickly. When I start It is hard to stop playing around and start working...🙂🙂
Bit of an internet rage here: I paid for upgrades every year all the way from Cubase 5 to 11. I still use 11 and I recall paying for an 11.5 upgrade as well. I didnt upgrade to 12 as i was happy enough with 11. But its irkesome that someone with Cubase from version 4 can upgrade the same price as me. So I paid for my upgrades for years supporting the company and dont get the better discount. I think it would be much fairer if the cheaper upgrade price was valid for owners two or three versions back. Im not paying £175 to upgrade from 11 to 13. I will wait until there is some kind of sale on. Still, Im perfectly happy with 11 and when you;re happy its really a case of why do I want to shell out 175.
I wish they would introduce the option to change the key of chord track with the click of a button. Would be nice to setup track versions quickly for trying a song in different keys.
i don't care if you improve the chord pads feature because I already find it much better than Scaler2 and there's no plugin that even really trys to compete with Scaler2
Scaler 2 is incredible - but this gives you an improved simpler version of Chordpads and the 30% you need vs. a lot of stuff in Scaler 2 many won't use regularly. I love Scaler 2. But, I also love HOOKPAD by HOOKTHEORY. But, Cubase's goal is to be all in the program without having to basically buy anything else ~ and parts of Chordpads ala Scaler 2 is vital to have built in the program. But, it needed this update to get more competent and useful. IMO.
@@dayzaudio idk man. scaler is so annoying to me. you can't just open it, take your circle of fifths thingie and start working out chords freely like in cubase and all these different play modes are confusing. the chord pads feature is one of cubase' best features
The presenter seems in love with himself, what is this lip bitting in a Cubase video? I get that in the social media era you want to give a face to your product and connect to the younger crowd, but don't forget that there are still professionals watching. The "look at me, I'm so cool, having fun with Cubase" approach doesn't come across as genuine and is honestly off putting.
I get your point, but that guy is always like that and his yt Channel is great on its own. His tips and tricks are kinda detailed. Maybe, you miss white hair guy 😅
There is no genuine musical expression to be found on UA-cam anyway. We are all just doing the things that we find fitting for this platform. Maybe that actually makes it more 'professional' in some sense. I hate that word.
Sadly, I guess for you or your comment - he is very genuine lol and Dom explains things incredibly and covers all ends of things in great depth, and if you see him in speaking videos he is still very exuberant ALL THE TIME... ~ I think as a guy who is a great player he gets lost in the vibe of what he is doing and playing, but it is real clearly - and honestly for me who feels depressed 78% of the time, and wish people would tone it all down, knowing he is so authentic is video after video so consistent - I find it additive to my experience. Tons of professionals writers and composers use Cubase for professional work. And the thing is - Cubase or Steinberg or Yamaha is hardly ever playing to a youthful market. They are catering to a songwriter or composer oriented or a "write and create in a flow without being disrupted in the flow" spirit... so that is why I think Dom hooks it altogether. And honestly, too, watching Michael Brauer mix back in the day, he was performing on his SSL and same spirit. Anyhow just my .02 cents. Not meant to challenge your feeling or need. Do you use Cubase? or just discovered it?

Chords patterns are great
Yes but how can I add it to the editor?
@@DimitrisKambanos with a MIDI controller keyboard if you have one, otherwise you can directly drag and drop the chords pad on an instrument track
@@ErixSamson ok thank you, I can drag and drop the chords but not any of the patterns. When I try they add the chord not the pattern.
@@DimitrisKambanos In that case, you need to activate recording on a VST Instrument Track, and then play the chords either with your mouse or with a MIDI Keyboard...
@@ErixSamson Thank you very much Erix. I appreciate your help. I will try with the keyboard or clicking with the mouse.
What is the fantastic piano sound you used?
It would be nice if you were able to strum the chords .. it would sound
more natural... maybe you can suggest that in an update.. it would make it more useful for me ..
Thanks, please consider adding midi parts library so we can save, reuse and catalog our midi parts much easier?
Perfect. But MIDI pattern drag and drop doesnt work in Cubase 13
I'm trying the same but it does not work. I don't know why!!!

Software is the key to the future.
The only thing missing from Cubase is Strumming option for chords. Not with a slicing tool but something similar to ripchord
just use the arp and change the chordpad to guitar (player)
Have you tried to make a midi clip with your custom strum and drop it in the chord pads as a pattern? You can then make the strumming more custom than RipChord, yes? RipChord is just a robot strum.

I'm digging the new Cubase 13 updates, thanks for the videos on the new version!
where did you download it? stolen or bought for dollars?
@@arthybogarthybog6082 steinbergs website
Is there any way to get the chord pads to follow ones pick in circle of fifths? like a preset in F major for ex.
Is this feature available in the basic version of cubase?

Dom, thank you for nice video. Is there any way to add my patterns into ?
Hello Don, how can I play with also the right hand when in chord mode like you do in this video?
You’re the best !
My pads are playing muted chords and I can't find a way to sustained notes.
Can this chord system also produce glissandos as well? Would be great to define a play different single styles for each chord pad that produce single notes in different styles and follow ups. 👍💯 Like a real piano player does..
Can I listen to the whole song in this clip? Which song and the artist is this? Thanks.
Why Old cord pesets are gone from cubase 13 😭
Goong to set a timer and experiment with Chord Pads.
This is very cool! 👏👏👏👍👍👍
Where are the old chord pad sets? Major, minor, etc.
Loving this update. Downloading now!
Thanks Dom... how do you get the little lines at the bottom of your chord pads that indicate voicing / complexity?
Ah, it's okay, I just needed more screen width!

Much better, but does it keep the voicing in the chord track no matter if it is a chord preset or a custom chord?
there is a lock icon at the top of the chord pads menu click that to lock the voicing

You can record them, then you can edit. If that´s what you mean?
