Acoustic Sunburst - how to change a pattern from maj7 to major

I'm a fairly new user on Acoustic Sunburst. I have a song where the chord progression is fairly simple (E, D, A) - all major chords. I'm using Acoustic Sunburst to create a finger picking style that matches my song. One of the patterns I really like is: Head In The Clouds. When I play this pattern with my MIDI keyboard and press the E key, it plays a Emaj7, the same is true for D and A. It appears the pattern is in maj7. I would like for it to be in E, D, A major. How do I accomplish this? If I change the voicing to "As Played", it play an Emmy (no 3) that sounds awful.

I have seen the same thing in other patters that are minor. I don't know hoe to play them in major. I'm sure I'm missing something?

Any advice?

    Hello,

    of you tried to play the chords do you had the "voicing" set to off?

    Yes, if I change the voice to "As Played" and play the chords, the chords sound really hollow, not anything like the pattern itself, which is strange. I have tired everything I can think of to have this pattern play in a major chord. Its like it was recorded in a minor chord and can not change to major.

    i tried wit electric sunburst and there it works as far as i can tell, will try also with acoustic sunburst and report back.

    P S. I tried that too and all was working fine for me, you also see the chords on the top left of the instrument and they sounded fine to my ears. Later I can maybe upload a short sample of o use the chords you mentioned and we can compare.
