Chord Pads
These eight pads automatically recall chords you have saved to them. This is a helpful feature if
you use certain chords frequently; you can play a chord by pressing a single pad instead of all
of its notes. This is also helpful if you want to play chords consisting of notes that you can't
physically play with just two hands.
To save a chord to a pad:
1. Click the Map button to the right of the pads.
2. Play the pad where you want to assign the chord.
3. Play the notes you want the chord to consist of. The keys in Vocalizer Pro's graphical
keyboard will appear "pressed" to indicate they are part of the chord. You can play a
note again to remove it from the chord. You can also play the notes simultaneously or
one at a time.
4. Click the Map button again.
To play that chord, simply play that pad.
To save the current pad layout, click the Save button (disk icon) under the Map button. Name
the pad layout file (.smp) and select a location to save it to.
Tip: We recommend saving your pad layout files somewhere in the SONiVOX Vocalizer
Pro folder, where Vocalizer Pro's presets, Snapshots, and other pad layout files are stored.
To load a pad layout, click the Open button (folder icon) under the Map button. Locate and
open the pad layout file (.smp).
Tip: Check out some pre-made Chord Pad layout files, stored in the SONiVOX Vocalizer
Pro Chord Maps folder.
