Introduction; Features - DigiTech TRIO Band Creator Manual

INTRODUCTION

Thanks for choosing the DigiTech® TRIO band creator 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 footswitch to teach the TRIO your chords and rhythm, then press the footswitch again to
start playing with your own personal band! Drum and bass levels can be adjusted using the DRUMS and BASS
knobs.
The TRIO provides 7 music genres to choose from including: Blues, Pop, Alternative Rock, Rock, Country, R&B, 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 3 different song parts which can then be recalled on-the-fly as the song plays back. An
optional DigiTech FS3X Footswitch can be connected to the CONTROL IN jack for easier, hands-free selection of
song parts and styles.
The tempo of the generated song can be varied continuously with no loss in audio quality using the TEMPO
knob. The ALT TIME button can be used to quickly try out an alternative interpretation of the song – usually half
or double time.
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 drum parts willl be fed to the MIXER output. There's
also a headphone output with dedicated level control, so you can practice whenever, wherever inspiration
strikes.
