Introduction - DigiTech TRIO+ Band Creator+ Looper Owner's Manual

INTRODUCTION

Thanks for choosing the DigiTech® TRIO+ Band Creator™ + Looper pedal. The TRIO+ is a simple-to-use guitar
pedal that listens to the way you play and automatically generates bass and drum parts that match your song.
Just plug your guitar into the TRIO+, press the BAND footswitch to teach the TRIO+ your chords and rhythm,
then press the BAND footswitch again to start playing with your own personal band! Bass and drum levels can be
adjusted for the perfect mix using the BASS and DRUMS knobs. The SIMPLE BASS button lets you select between
3 bass line modes for busy or simple bass lines.
Press the LOOPER footswitch to record a loop along with an unlimited number of overdubs. Loop playback level
can be controlled using the LOOP knob. Loops can be recorded by themselves, operating just like a traditional
looper, or along with the band. Apply the built-in effects to your guitar signal by enabling the GUITAR FX button,
and/or connect your favorite effects to the FX SEND and FX RETURN jacks.
The TRIO+ provides 12 music genres to choose from including: Blues, R&B, Rock, Alternative Rock, Metal, Pop,
Electronic Pop, Hip-Hop, Country, Folk, Latin, and Jazz. 12 song styles are available for each genre and can be
selected using the STYLE knob, including selection between 3/4 and 4/4 time signatures. Multi-colored LEDs
around the STYLE knob indicate which styles best match your song.
The TRIO+ can learn up to 5 different song parts, perfect for creating an intro, verse, chorus, bridge, and outro.
Song parts can be recalled on-the-fly as the song plays back or pre-programmed as a sequence for automated
playback. An optional DigiTech FS3X Footswitch can be connected to the CONTROL IN jack for additional hands-
free control with 3 modes of operation to select from.
The tempo of songs can be varied continuously using the TEMPO knob. The ALT TIME button can be used to
quickly try out different interpretations of the song whenever half or double time alternatives are available. Each
song part can be programmed for normal or high intensity, making it possible to increase the impact of your
chorus or bridge.
Auto-sensing outputs automatically adapt to optimize the audio for your application. Connect the AMP output
to your guitar amplifier if using one. Connect the MIXER output to a mixer if no guitar amplifier is being used and
the TRIO+ will automatically apply a guitar speaker cabinet emulator to the guitar signal, making it sound as if
you were playing through a guitar amp/cabinet. When connected to both the MIXER and AMPLIFIER outputs,
the guitar signal will be fed to the AMP output and the bass and drums will be fed to the MIXER output. There's
also a headphone output with dedicated level control, so you can practice or write songs whenever, wherever
inspiration strikes.
Up to 12 songs along with loops can be stored to the included microSD card. Need to create more songs? No
problem. Just insert a new microSD card and you're ready to start teaching the band your new songs. To manage
all your songs and loops on a computer, download the free TRIO Manager software from digitech.com, available
for Windows® and Mac®.
