Recording strumming types
The octave from C1 to B1 is devoted to selecting a
strumming
type. By pressing these keys, you play fast strumming samples:
Recording single strings
The octave from C2 to B2 is devoted to selecting a single string
(or more than one) for playing arpeggios or power chords. You
can either play a free arpeggio with the six guitar chords
assigned to the C~A keys, or play one of the faster sampled
arpeggios on the higher keys. The root note is always available
on the C# key, while the fifth note is always assigned to the D#
key; with them, you can always play the lowest notes of an arpeg-
gio.
This octave also includes an ‘all mute’ key (F#):
Recording RX Noises
Further on, the upper octaves are used to trigger RX Noises:
Selecting a Capo
Together with strumming types, single strings and RX Noises,
you can choose a Capo (“capotasto”). Note that this might pre-
vent some single strings to sound, depending on the composed
chord. You can always see which strings are playing and which
are not, as described in “Diagram” on page 145.
Recording a regular pattern
Together with strums and arpeggios, you can record regular pat-
terns, exactly as if the track was of Acc type (see “Track Type” on
page 160). This will save an Accompaniment track, when all you
need is just to record some short melodic passages (for example,
the closing of a strumming pattern).
