Synth or string pads


Greg Lindsey

Question

Im looking for some information on how to create a synth or string type pad so that I can play a chord and it will sustain indefinately so I can practice guitar over it. I have the basic Cakewalk DAW and an Arturia Keystep 37 connected via USB to my desktop PC. Any and all help is greatly appreciated as I know zero about this type of thing.

Make the chord last 1 measure. Loop that measure.

Had to laugh because first thing came to mind was In the early years of midi we had a panic button (Cakewalk still does) to kill stuck notes that were caused by the “ midi log jam” 

Second thought was when my cat slept on my keyboard. 
 

Third thought is record a chord for a few measures and set the tempo at 1bpm.
