delay, and second, you can mix chords with legato and solo lines without
needing to switch the play mode to Poly. The suggested latency
compensation time is displayed, if you click on the
‘Setup’ button on the
‘Performance Page’.
Is ELECTRI6ITY’s whole ‘artificial intelligence’ marketing spin?
No! A significant amount of time was spend on research on how to place
notes played on the virtual fretboard of ELECTRI6ITY since it’s crucial for
the realistic tone of the virtual guitar. A simple example: take ‘E3’ for
example. It can be played on four different strings/frets on a guitar with 22
frets. Now take ‘F3’ for example which can also be played on four different
strings/frets. If you now play E3 followed by F6 there are 16 possibilities to
play those two notes on different strings/frets. If you now going to play E3,
F6, E3 you already have 64 possibilities and so on. What ELECTRI6ITY does
is trying to minimize these possibilities and finding the most natural way to
play those notes on the virtual fretboard - a way a human guitarist would
choose. Since the engine can’t look into the future it needs to predict the
best possible position of the next note on the fretboard by taking into
account what you have already been playing and the way you played it (for
example speed, duration of notes, intervals, chord playing, etc.). Since
fretboard placement on a guitar also depends on the player and the style,
you can setup a lot of preferences and parameters to change the behavior
of the string/fretboard engine in ELECTRI6ITY. For more details see

Can I bypass the artificial intelligence so every note on the keyboard will
always be played on the same fretboard position and with the same
timbre?
Yes. Simply go to the ‘Settings Page’ and switch ‘Strings | Selection | Auto’
to one of the static modes. For more details see >ELECTRI6ITY | Details |
