Could someone be so kind to just set me straight when it comes to Cubase and its Chord Assistant? I've watched a handful of videos and it seems powerful enough to come up with ideas and suggestions if you start with it. But could you start with a chord that you really like and let the assistant suggest progressions from that?

Let's say I just recorded the MIDI for a great chord that I want to start with, but I fail to come up with a second or third progression? Is it possible to ask the Assistant to work from that? I mean, I don't start building the first chord from the Assistant but rather record in on a normal MIDI track.

Seems yes, or very close to.

Looking in 9.5 manual already it says
3 Suggestions
Shows suggestions for the next chord. Click a chord suggestion to select it.
4 Complexity Filter
Allows you to increase the complexity and thus the number of suggestions. The higher the
complexity, the more suggestions you get.
5 Gap Mode
Activate this button to get suggestions for the chords in between 2 defined chords based
on the previous and the next chord.
Deactivate this button to get suggestions for the next chord based on the previous chord.

Screen dump from interface below.

Might have developed some since - or not.
Never tried it though while running Cubase.

Or this is just "fish" and I did not get what you were after.

Thanks for the pointer. I have to experiment with it to see if it fits. I tried to do it with Scaler but that plugin just makes my head a big mess.
