Guitar Mode
Recording strumming types
The lowest octave of the 61-key keyboard is dedicated to select-
ing a strumming type. By pressing these keys, you play fast
strumming samples:
Recording single strings
The second octave of the 61-key keyboard is dedicated to select-
ing a single string (or more than one) for playing arpeggios or
power chords. You can either play a free arpeggio with the six
guitar chords assigned to the C~A keys, or play one of the faster
sampled arpeggios on the higher keys. The root note is always
available on the C# key, while the fifth note is always assigned to
the D# key; with them, you can always play the lowest notes of
an arpeggio. This octave also includes a reset key (F#):
Recording RX Noises
Further on, the upper three octaves of the 61-key keyboard are
used to trigger RX Noises:
Selecting a Capo
Together with strumming types, single strings and RX Noises,
you can choose a capo (capotasto). Note that this might prevent
some single strings to sound, depending on the composed
chord. You can always see with strings are playing and which are
not, as described in the “Diagram” section below.
Choosing a Key/Chord
The pattern is recorded in the key indicated by the Key/Chord
pair of parameters. However, this parameter is only considered
during playback of the Intro 1 and Ending 1 Style Elements.
With Intro 1 and Ending 1 (both Chord Variation 1 and 2) you
can also enter a chord progression. This is done with the lowest
MIDI octave (C-1 ~ B-1). Chord types are inserted by using
velocity, as shown in the following table:
Playing back the pattern
When in Stye Play mode, the recorded Guitar pattern is trans-
posed according to the chord recognized on the keyboard. The
way it is transposed depends on the programmed pattern, with
the chosen positions, strumming mods, etc…
