Thank you very much Glenn. It works.

Is there any alternative way to do it? I mean, is it possible to make the chords track to play 2 or 3 instruments but not to play other monitored tracks in case I want other monitored tracks to play something different?

Again, thanks for any help :slight_smile:

Unfortunately no. I’ve always thought the Chord Track should be treated like any other MIDI source and appear as another available MIDI In for any Track to use. But I guess we can’t have nice things… :cry:

Workarounds:

  1. Route the Chord Track to a MIDI Track and use its MIDI Sends to distribute the MIDI to 4 or less other MIDI or Instrument Tracks.

  2. If you use a third party Virtual MIDI Cable you can route it wherever (3rd time I’ve written this in the last week, must be something in the air). Route the Chord Track to a MIDI Track with its MIDI Out set to the Virtual Cable. Now all the other MIDI & Instrument Tracks can use the Virtual Cable as a MIDI source. I use LoopBe for this and have for a long time - good chance there are better choices now so search first.
