In Cubase, the adaptive voicing setting ensures that pitches in chord progressions do not change abruptly.
Adaptive voicing is activated, and the voicings of the chord pads are determined automatically, according to specific voice leading rules.
To set the voicing of a specific chord pad manually, and to prevent it from being changed automatically, you can use the voicing control to the right of a chord pad. When you assign your own voicing, adaptive voicing is deactivated for this particular chord pad, so that the pad no longer follows the voice leading rules of the voicing reference. To activate adaptive voicing again, activate Adaptive Voicing on the chord pads zone extended toolbar.
To lock the voicing for a chord pad, you can activate Lock on the chord pads zone extended toolbar. This locks this pad for editing and remote control changes and deactivates Adaptive Voicing. To unlock the chord pad again, deactivate Lock on the chord pads zone extended toolbar.
