NOTE: When tempos are close between parts and a new part is selected while the previous part is still
playing, the new part tempo will be matched to the previous part tempo – indicated by the new PART LED
flashing in sync with the ALT TIME LED. If the tempo of the newly selected part is significantly different from
the current part, the tempo will not be matched and the new PART and ALT TIME LEDs will flash at a different
rate.
EXPERT TEACHING TIPS: TRIO has to automatically figure out the song key, length, timing, number of
bars, chords, and feel based on only three key pieces of information. The clearer and more accurate this
information is, the more likely it is that you'll get the musical accompaniment you want. While TRIO will try its
best to work with whatever you give it, the following tips will help you get the best results:
• Getting your start and stop times accurate is very important. Make sure you start each learn phase
with a strong down strum and end your loop with the same down strum so that the band starts right
on time to keep the beat continuous.
• Try to emphasize the start of each bar with a clear strum. Try to avoid a lot of syncopation when
teaching. Remember, you aren't being recorded so you don't need to 'perform' the song as much as
convey the chord progression and timing.
• Stick to major/minor and 7th chords as much as possible when teaching the chord progression. You
can always play more complex chords when you are jamming.
• The number of possible ways to interpret each part increases dramatically the more bars you are
teaching. For best results, split long songs up into multiple parts.
• If TRIO provides an accompaniment that seems twice as fast or twice as slow as you expected,
sometimes pressing the ALT TIME button can quickly give you the desired result.
• If TRIO confuses 3/4 timing for 4/4 timing or vice versa, simply turn the style knob to the appropriate
range (styles 1-9 for 4/4 or styles 10-12 for 3/4).
• TRIO can play songs with a maximum of one chord per beat , so try to keep your chord changes on
the beat. You can have chord changes on sub-beats, but be aware that the bass guitar will not follow
any such sub-beat changes.
