Youll probably have noticed that 4 basic patterns, 4 intros,
4 fills and 4 endings gives us a total of just 16 riffs. So how
do we get 48 riffs? The answer is Major, Minor and Seventh.
Each of these 16 riffs can have a Major version, a Minor
version and a Seventh version. Each version is a separate
riff. When you play the style, you will hear a different riff
depending on which type of chord you play. You may have
already noticed that most of the Genesys Ensemble styles
will play a different intro or ending when you play a minor
chord. This is because the programmer has created a num-
ber of Minor Intro Riffs for that style.
If you want, you can program a complete style using only
major riffs. If you play a minor or seventh chord while using
a style created in this way, the system will attempt to modify
the major riff you programmed so that it has a minor or
seventh sound. The success or failure of this system depends
on the complexity of the major riff that you programmed.
It is easy for the system to modify riffs which contain only
the basic major triad notes. If youve done some fancy
programming, the system will find it harder to deal with
and your minor or seventh chord may sound terrible. In
this case, you can return to the style editor and add some
minor or seventh riffs where they are most needed.
