Dynamic Arrange; Autobacking - GEM GPS3600 Owner's Manual

below the split point). The programmed accom-
paniment patterns are always fully generated with
a fully recognised chord. Major, minor and sev-
enth chords each can generate completely dif-
ferent accompaniment patterns.
The chord recognition modes available are:
ONE FINGER: A single note played below the
Split Point is interpreted as the root of a major
chord. A minor chord requires the root note and
the minor third (e.g. C and Eb). A seventh chord
requires the root and seventh (e.g. C with a Bb
either above or below C).
FINGERED 1: Needs at least three notes for full
chord recognition. With less than three notes,
the chord is not recognized - the notes played
are considered 'stray'.
FINGERED 2: At least three notes must be
played to obtain the fully programmed pattern. If
less than three notes are played, the arranger
recognizes the chord but triggers a 'partial' ac-
companiment.
FREE 1: A three note chord is recognized any-
where along the keyboard, overriding the Split
Point. Less then three notes does not affect the
chord recognition mechanism. Up to 4 chord
notes are recognized by Free 1.
FREE 2: As above, but up to 6 notes are recog-
nized.
The option selected can be stored to the Pre-
sets.
Note: The symbols of the recognized chord ap-
pear on the main Style display screen. If the
chord is not recognized, the chord symbol is
shown as the lowest note played followed by sev-
eral asterisks. For example: «C***** ».
Note: In order for the chord to be recognized (and
the relative symbol to be shown on the display)
Arrange On/Off must be on.

DYNAMIC ARRANGE

When DYNAMIC ARRANGE is active, the vol-
ume of the Style Auto accompaniments can be
controlled according to the velocity applied to the
chord notes. Increased chord note velocity in-
creases the volume of the accompaniments.
When Off, the accompaniment volumes remain
unchanged with changes in chord note velocity.

AUTOBACKING

When AUTOBACKING is on, a quick change of
chord updates the Style auto accompaniment
pattern instantly without "breaks" in the pattern.
When off, a change of chord does not update
instantly but waits for the next note of the ac-
companiment before revising the pattern.
MIXER LOCK (F7)
If MIXER LOCK is off, when a Style or a Preset is
selected, the track volumes also change too,
because the Presets also memorize the individual
track volume settings.
If MIXER LOCK it is on, the track volumes of the
keyboard sections will change while the accom-
paniment track volumes will not.
BASS FOLLOW (F8)
If BASS FOLLOW is on, the bass part of the auto
accompaniment of the current Style plays around
the lowest note of the current chord. If you play
a different inversion of the same chord, the low-
est note also changes resulting in a different bass
note being played.
If off, the bass will follow the original programmed
pattern of the Style.
Bass Follow permits real time changes to the oth-
erwise fixed bass pattern of a Style, by playing
different chord inversions.
