Main page - Guitar Mode
While in the main page, and a Guitar track has been selected,
touch the “Guitar Mode” tab to see this page. This is where you
can access Guitar Mode programming:
Note: To access this page, the Pad track must be of Guitar type
(Pad Track Controls > Sound/Expression page, see “Track Type”
on page 44). Otherwise, the Guitar Mode tab will remain grey (not
selectable).
Note: When programming a Guitar track from an external
sequencer, you must be sure the Guitar tracks is associated to the
right channel. Go to the Global > MIDI > MIDI IN Channels page,
and assign the corresponding Style track (usually Acc1 ~ Acc5) to
the same channel of the Guitar track on the external sequencer.
Then, go to the Style Record > Style Track Controls > Type/Ten-
sion/Trigger page, and set the track as a track of type “Gtr” (see
“Track Type” on page 44).
Guitar Mode allows to easily create realistic rhythm guitar parts,
without the artificial, unmusical playing typical of MIDI pro-
gramming of guitar parts. Just record a few notes, and you will
end up with realistic rhythm guitar tracks, where each chord is
played according to its real position on the guitar, and not gener-
ated by simply transposing a written pattern.
Recording overview
For an overview on the recording procedure, see the “Style
Record mode”.
Pad Record procedure
Recording a Pad is very similar to recording a Style. Please see
the relevant chapter in the User’s manual.
Edit menu
When pressing the MENU button while in Pad Record mode,
the Pad Record Edit Menu will appear.
Note: The Pad Edit pages are a simplified version of the Style Edit
pages. See the User’s manual for information on the various
parameters.
Note: While the Pad is in play, you cannot access the Edit section
pages from the main page (see page 36). Stop the playback before
pressing MENU.
Note: When switching from the Edit section pages (Quantize,
Transpose, Velocity, Delete) to the other pages, or vice-versa, the
Pad (if in play) is automatically stopped.
