Please review this post of mine: Cubase 13 - Chord Pad Presets missing!? - #15 by Joerg

you are seeing the 60 old C12 presets, C13 replaces those with 31 new presets.

In My case, still canā€™t work it. This is first aid to use C12ā€™s Chord Pad presets. I exported all of Cubase 12 Pro chord pads presets. In MS-Windows Userā€™s case, Put their into C:\Users(User name)\AppData\Roaming\Steinberg\Chord Pads
If C13 was working then quit and restart your PC( or Wait quitting Steinberg Media Server and Restart C13).
Download the zip file from my facebook group article.

What I really donĀ“t get is why arenĀ“t supposed major and minor scale chords to be useful anymore?
Or even far: Why deleting anything whe you can ā€œADDā€ more options instead deleting ?
I suppose there is an answer. In the meantime, IĀ“ve paid for cubase 13 update and I have to save my cubase 12 chorpad to ā€¦ In short: definitively not a good idea!!

Great Abrinay, but althought it fix the problem Cubase 12 and before used to help people with few or now music theory. It was another tool that could be used but not anymore. What a great idea Steinberg team had to put a complete nonsense set of presets.

Iā€™m not a experienced Cubase user so I wont talk about bugs for now but Cubase 12 and before used to help people with few or no music theory. It was a great tool that could be used indeed but not anymore. Now Iā€™m wondering why Cubase team removed such a great help tool even for experienced music professionals? Why? Transpose tool is great but it does help people with few or no knowledge, good presets do or they used to. Am I missing something?

Here are some basic chord presets.
Major, nat. minor, dorian, phrygian, etc.
For major and minor I also added a preset with 7th chords added.

On PC extract the .zip file to
%appdata%/Steinberg
grafik

On Mac the files need to go to:
/Users/[user-name]/Library/Application Support/Steinberg/Chord Pads

Chord Pads Standard.zip (12.3 KB)

All presetsā€™ names start with an underscore, so that they appear on the top of the preset list in Cubase.
Change the root key to your liking within Chord Pads.

Great, thank you. Steinberg should pay you as you did their job.

77

Haha, nice to hear you found them helpful.
On the other hand, we have a several nice people in the community to share their self-made files with everybody else and I really like that about the forum. I am happy to be able to contribute a little bit.

78

Thanks. These are a great starting point.

Location for these files on Mac.

"/Users/[user-name]/Library/Application Support/Steinberg/Chord Pads"

The same location is used by Cubase and Nuendo.

Awesome. I was hoping some Apple user would post the location for Mac. I shall edit it ito my post. Thanks.

I was also experiencing the issue of Chord Pad presets not being able to load (and nothing else was available to load).

Thanks to Joerg I deleted:
FCP_SMT_001 - FCP_SMT_005 from my common VSTsound folder. I think this solved some other issues I was having as well.

I didnā€™t realise these were not meant to be moved to a common folder.
I am on C14, perhaps the Library Manager should detect those as an easy remedy for future mistakes?
After all, there is nothing to differentiate these files from other .vstsound filesā€¦

PS, also, would like to suggest adding the basic scales as chord presets (thanks Johnny_M) to the main Cubase installation.

thanks
