Chord Track Magic in Logic Pro for iPad 2.0

This video tutorial demonstrates a couple ways to use the powerful new Chord Track feature in Logic Pro for iPad 2.0. The vast majority of non-percussion Apple loops (and there are thousands) contain chord information, so it's like having an entire library of chord progressions at your fingertips. Just pick one and use the Session Players to add keys, bass and drums, and you've got a full song in minutes. You can also extract the chords and use them in a MIDI track, then use a MIDI FX like the Arpeggiator to make things even more interesting, and finally, you can easily use the transpose option to make a key change and keep your song interesting.
This tutorial just touches on a couple of techniques that are quick and easy, but there's an entirely new dimension of possibilities for using the Chord Track and Session Player features. Feel free to share your own ideas in the comments.

I found that if you tap the chord track and select analyse key signature it will set it for the project which makes working with other midi parts easier.

Excellent observation. Yes - it works well. One note of caution on that - if you use analyze key signature on a track and it changes the key of the project, that will affect the key in which any additional Apple loops are applied, and any tracks which don't have chord information. For example, a MIDI track which has been manually recorded will not adjust, although in most cases you could just use the Transpose option on the track inspector to shift the notes, or you could do some fancy editing and shift them all together.

Will third party loops work with chord track or is it just apple loops? Thanks

Only Apple loops, and only those that have the chord information included. Not all do. For example all of the loops in the Garageband Sounds collection do not.

I like the attempt, but I mis the other way around, Play your own chords and then It will adapt, so the bass goes automatically. or other instruments riffing. and or blending.
