A chord stays active until the next chord event occurs, even where there’s a gap between chord events on the timeline. The Chord Editor – accessed by double-clicking on a chord event – provides a table in which you can select the root note, ‘type’ (major, minor, diminished, etc), ‘tensions’ (dom7, maj7, #9, etc), and also specify a different bass note (a G chord with a C bass note – G/C – for instance). The editor also allows you to specify the chord via MIDI, or to type the name of the chord into a type-in field. The Editor provides access to the Chord Assistant, which suggests chords based on the preceding chord and scale, and can display these suggestions in a number of different ways. As well as being an excellent tool to help you experiment with more advanced, colourful chords that may be beyond your playing ability or theory knowledge, the Assistant is phenomenally helpful for building great-sounding progressions and changes. Once you have defined a progression of chord events you can use them to enforce harmonic accuracy on your project in a few different ways. MIDI and Instrument tracks, for example, can be switched into Live Transform mode, which forces incoming notes into the chord and/or scale defined by the Chord Track.
