DJANGO : GYPSY JAZZ GUITAR
CHORD SELECTION
Chords are selected through two knobs which set the root note and chord quality/extension.
The combination of the two is the selected chord. It is displayed next to the knobs.
To switch to another chord, you may move the knobs with the mouse or press the
corresponding keyswitches. Automation is available either by assigning a MIDI CC number
to the knobs or by recording keyswitch MIDI.
PREFERENCES
Clicking on the gear icon at the bottom left corner of the GUI opens the Preferences panel.
There are three controls:
2TRACK :
Refers to doubletracking. This button switches between single guitar (panned at
center) and double guitar (panned leftright) modes. While in doubletracking mode, the two
guitars play exactly the same strums but using a different RR sample order, so that they
never sound exactly the same. (Default value : OFF)
2TRACK PAN :
This knob controls how hard is the panning for the two guitars while in
doubletracking mode. At 100% the two guitars are panned all the way left and right. At 0 %
they are both panned at center. (Value Range : 0 % to 100%; Default value : 75 %)
NOISE VOLUME :
This knob adjusts the level of the fret noises that play when changing
root note. (Value Range : inf dB to 12 dB; Default value : 0 dB)
ALTERNATIVE KEYSWITCH :
Refers to an alternative keyswitching method for selecting
chords. This button switches between the default Root+Chord keyswitch triggering method
and a voicingbased method. When enabled, the root note and chord keyswitch octaves are
replaced by a twooctave zone where chords will be automatically detected as you play
them. The chords need to be in root position (root as lowest note) with the only exception
being the major chord inversion (3rd on bass). 9th notes can either be played on 9th step or
2nd.
