User chord templates in HN2

Posted

Where do i store my user chord progressions?

Further i like to see under the new Harmony indicator ( on 2 positions) ..when i rightclick "Insert User Template"

Now do have a oversight of my userchords and not first open a folder  to see what i need.

check this directory location in HN2...
HN2 menu
Edit / Preferences / Files , Default Paths and see there Configuration
it must be probably something like this :
""C:\Users\you\Documents\Harmony Navigator 2\Config""

in this "Config" folder you should see Devices , Libraries ,..Progressions ..
if you save your chord progressions in this "Progressions" folder you can reach them from the template menu..
i am not sure, restarting HN2 may be necessary..

if it doesn't work you can try also this path too
for 64bit
C:\Program Files (x86)\Cognitone\Harmony Navigator 2\Config
( again save to Progressions folder in the Config Folder of course )

for 32 bit i think just "program files"

Thanks!

I know ofcourse that "documents" are for users, although i know a program what has a user division in the programfolder itself, but that is not the case in HN2

I tried in documents to make a user folder for progressions , but it seems to be not working ?
I I like Also to see a user template menu and not mixed with the default factory ones  

It is a 32 bit version HN2 and installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Cognitone

------------------------------------------

Example : i made a folder in progression folder of the configuration folder in documents ( user) , than i saved a progression( named ZELF ) made by me in the progression window (new -> progression) and saved this as template in the folder

Is this working?
The progression appears in the menu entrance ZELF ( insert templates in the (new)harmony parameter led) and the progression has the name A
The name of the userfolder is neglegted where the progression as a template is stored
So how to get a user directory filled with template progressions?

 

Stange enough progression can be stored a templates in HN2 ?

i am not sure about the creating directories work as you expect ..
but also not necessary to create a folder
because in one progression window you can save multiple sections not only "A"
(some of my templates has over 50 sections.. also i don't think there is a limit for this )
anyway..
in the progression window
Section / New Section also rename them as you want to see in the template menu

i am attaching a gif to demonstrate
i hope it helps

Thanks!

Very informative to see a movie

Ok, the template name is the directoryname where the chordprogressions from the songsections are collected
So you can give a random name to a random songsection ( chordprogression)

Example

Intro progressions
Name template : Intro and  make as many intro progressions
Example

Modulations

 C:-> Am

Note : perhaps a subfolder is also possible ?
