Chords with Simple Loops

Right-click the Track Header and, from the context list, select Duplicate. Repeat so that you have three tracks (or however many notes you need in the chord) that each use the same loop. 

Select each event and use the + and - keys on the number pad to change the pitch of the events. 

Tracks of the same loop stacked to make a C major triad and a C minor triad. 

You have quite a lot of flexibility in creating the chord. It may be convenient to arrange the tracks in the order that the notes appear in the chord, with the first track holding the highest pitched note and the last track holding the lowest pitched note, although this is not necessary. Chords also do not need to be stacked to occur simultaneously in time. Instead, you can create arpeggios with this same technique, but it is not really necessary to use multiple tracks if the notes do not overlap in time. See the earlier section on chords and intervals for more information. 

Once you have created a satisfying chord, it may be useful to mix the multiple tracks that compose the chord down to a single track or even to render the tracks as a new loop fde. This allows you to use this chord in other projects and saves RAM and processor cycles.
