Pad Record Mode
Guitar mode parameters
Here is a detailed description of the parameters of the Guitar
Mode page.
Key/Chord
This parameter pair allows you to define the track’s original key
and chord type. This parameter works in a different way, when
compared to the other tracks. While with other tracks this is
always the reference key used for NTT transposition, with Guitar
tracks there is a difference, whether you are recording a Chord
Variation contained in an Intro or Ending Style Element, or a
different Chord Variation:
• With most Chord Variations, this chord will be used only
for listening during recording. During playback in Style
Play mode, the chord will follow chord recognition.
• With Intro 1 and Ending 1, this chord will be used as the
reference key for the chord progression.
Capo (0, I…X)
A capo (from the Italian “capotasto”, “head of fingerboard”) is a
movable bar attached to the fingerboard of the guitar, to uni-
formly raise the pitch of all the strings. Its use makes the strings
shorter, therefore changing the timbre and position of the
chords (but not its shape).
0 Open string – no capo.
I…X Position of the capo over the fingerboard (i.e., “I”
corresponds to the first fret, “II” to the second
one, and so on).
Diagram
The diagram shows how a chord would be composed on the fin-
gerboard. Here is the meaning of the various symbols:
Red dot Fingered string (i.e., played note).
White dot Fifth, playing on the D#2 key.
X Non played or muted note.
Light grey bar Barré (a finger crossing all the strings, like a
mobile capo).
Dark grey bar Capo.
Pad Record Mode
Record 1 page revised
The Record 1 page has been revised, to include the new NTT
Type parameter. For more information on this parameter, see
“NTT Type” on page 3.
Guitar Mode page added
The Guitar Mode page has been added to the Pad Record mode.
It can be accessed when a Guitar track is assigned to the Pad (see
“Guitar Track type” below), otherwise the Guitar Mode tab will
remain grey (not selectable).
Guitar Track type
The new Guitar track type has been added to the Pad Record >
Pad Track Controls > Type/Tension/Trigger page. For more
information, see “Guitar Track Type” on page 4.
Song Play Mode
Track EQ memorized in the Song Play–Glo-
bal Setup
Track EQ
Track EQ will be memorized in the general preferences for the
Song Play mode (they are named Song Play–Global Setup). This
will help adapting the Pa800's sound to personal taste for any
MIDIfile you will ever play. Need a lighter Bass track? Save the
right equalization, and the Bass will stay light with all the subse-
quent Songs.
Note: The EQ is different for Sequencer 1 and Sequencer 2.
