5. TEMPO Knob & AUDIOLASTIC™ LED
The TEMPO knob adjusts the TRIO+'s global playback tempo and was designed to adjust the tempo of a
song after it is complete. See
'Adjusting Song Tempo' on page 27
for more information on adjusting the
tempo of songs.
NOTE: The AUDIOLASTIC LED must be off to record into the looper. See
for more information.
6. STYLE Knob
Selects between the various styles available for each genre. Once a song part has been learned by the
TRIO+, the multi-colored LEDs surrounding the STYLE knob will light to indicate which selections are the
best match for the part — based on the selected genre — and the style that best matches the part will be
automatically selected. Note that there is also a way to "tell" the TRIO+ that you want a certain style prior to
teaching it a part — see
'Pre-Selecting A Style' on page 29
for more information.
The STYLE LED which is brightest indicates the current selection. There are 2 possible colored states for
each LED, they are:
• Green — Indicates a style which matches both time signature and feel (straight or swing).
• Amber — Indicates a style which matches the time signature of your song, but has a different feel.
For all genres, styles 1-9 are in 4/4 and styles 10-12 are in 3/4. If the TRIO+ detects that you played in 4/4,
then the 4/4 LEDs will be lit green or amber and the 3/4 LEDs will be off. You can still select 3/4 options by
turning the knob to select a 3/4 style at which point the 3/4 LEDs will light and the 4/4 LEDs will go off. The
same will happen in reverse if the TRIO+ detects that you played in 3/4.
The first time you teach the TRIO+ a progression it will choose the best style for your chord progression
based on the genre that is selected. It doesn't matter which genre you use when teaching the TRIO+ a
song. You can always switch between genres and styles at any time to hear a different groove or feel based
on your original song idea. See
'The Genres & Styles' on page 33
for more information on the available
styles.
7. GENRE Knob
Selects the genre type for the selected song part. Genres can be selected before or after teaching the TRIO+
your song parts, so you're free to experiment and change genres at any time. Genre selection is retained
when you select a new part to teach the TRIO+ or when starting a new song. Genre selection can be made
independently for each song part.
As you select genres, the LEDs around the STYLE knob will update to identify which styles are best suited
for your song part based on the genre selected. When a genre is selected for the first time, after the TRIO+
learns your song, the TRIO+ will automatically choose from one of the styles shown in green that best
match your playing. See
'The Genres & Styles' on page 33
for more information on the available genres.
