Learn/Play Leds - DigiTech TRIO Band Creator Manual

4. STYLE Knob
Selects between the various styles available for each genre. Once your song is learned by the TRIO, the
multi-colored LEDs surrounding the STYLE knob will light to indicate which selections are the best match
for your song (based on the selected genre) and the style that best matches your song will be automatically
selected. The LED which is brightest indicates the current selection. There are 2 possible colored states for
each LED, they are:
• Green - Indicates a style which matches both time signature and feel (straight or swing).
• Amber - Indicates a style which matches the time signature of your song, but has a different feel.
For all genres, styles 1-9 are in 4/4 and styles 10-12 are in 3/4. If the TRIO detects that you played in 4/4,
then the 4/4 LEDs will be lit green or amber and the 3/4 LEDs will be off. You can still select 3/4 by turning
the encoder to select a 3/4 style at which point the 3/4 LEDs will light up and the 4/4 LEDs will go off. The
same will happen in reverse if the TRIO detects that you played in 3/4.
The first time you teach the TRIO a progression it will choose the best style for your chord progression
based on the genre that is selected. It doesn't matter which genre you use when teaching the TRIO a song.
You can always switch between genres and styles at any time to hear a different groove or feel based on
your original song idea.
5. GUITAR IN Jack
Connect your guitar to this jack. Make sure that when teaching the TRIO, the guitar signal going into the
TRIO is clean (i.e., no effects).
6. TEMPO Knob
Adjusts the tempo of the song. When teaching the TRIO a progression, it doesn't matter where the TEMPO
knob is set. The TRIO will automatically start playback at the learned tempo until the TEMPO knob is
adjusted. Once the TEMPO knob is adjusted from its current position, the playback tempo will then update
to the knob's new position. This ensures that you will always have the full tempo adjustment range after
the TRIO learns a song, regardless of where the TEMPO knob is set during the learning phase. The center
detent position represents a tempo multiplier of 1X, which is the original tempo of the learned song.
7. CONTROL IN Jack
Connect an optional DigiTech FS3X Footswitch to this connection for additional hands-free control. See
'Using An FS3X Footswitch' on page 13 for more information.
8. DRUMS Knob
Adjusts the level of the drums in the mix.
