Ableton Forum

Hey!

I wondered if it is possible that when I play some chords of a pad, the bass notes are triggered as well in the following ways (1 or 2 octaves below):
-root
Or: -root-fifth
Or: -root-fifth-octave

I know it would be possible to play the chord entirely by just playing the root notes and the midi effect "chord", but I would like to play different inversions of the chords (minimizing finger movement).

I hope someone knows a solution!

P.s. Im new here, so if I put it in the wrong place, sorry!

arpegiator?

This is definitely the place to ask (this or Ableton Answers). Hopefully we can help!

If you want to automatically trigger lower notes, I think the Chord MIDI effect is the one to use - set it to double whatever you play a couple of octaves down. I don't think there's any way using Ableton's built-in MIDI effects to analyze the chord and figure out what the root note is.

Ok thx! Guess I'll have to use the chord effect :/ thx 4 the replies!
