Using the Chord Track to control the harmonic content of a Song

The Chord Track provides a powerful and intuitive way to create and manipulate chord progressions and control the notes played by MIDI instruments. This gives you the opportunity to try out new harmonic ideas and construct sophisticated chord progressions in real time.

Even if you’re totally new to music theory and have limited knowledge of how chords work, you will still find the Chord Track highly useful. This is because the Chord Track works in conjunction with Studio One’s built-in chord detection algorithm, which can automatically identify and transcribe chords from audio recordings. This opens the door to a wide range of possibilities. For example, if you like the chord progression of an existing Song, you can use this feature to extract its chords and use those chords as a template to compose your own Songs.
