Guitar Mode

Go to the Guitar Mode page of the Style Record mode to access
Guitar Mode.
Note: To access this page, a Guitar track must first be selected (see
"Guitar Track Type" on page 4). Otherwise, the Guitar Mode tab
will remain grey (not selectable).
Note: When programming a Guitar track from an external
sequencer, you must be sure the Guitar tracks is associated to the
right channel. Go to the Global > MIDI > MIDI IN Channels page,
and assign the corresponding Style track (usually Acc1 ~ Acc5) to
the same channel of the Guitar track on the external sequencer.
Then, go to the Style Record > Style Track Controls > Type/Ten-
sion/Trigger page, and set the track as a track of type "Gtr" (see
"Guitar Track Type").
Guitar Mode allows to easily create realistic rhythm guitar parts,
without the artificial, unmusical playing typical of MIDI pro-
gramming of guitar parts. Just record a few notes, and you will
end up with realistic rhythm guitar tracks, where each chord is
played according to its real position on the guitar, and not gener-
ated by simply transposing a written pattern.
Recording overview
Recording a Guitar track is unlike the other tracks, where you
play the exact notes of a melody line. With Guitar tracks you play
the keys corresponding to the strumming modes, or play an
arpeggio by using the keys corresponding to the six strings (and
the special keys corresponding to the root and fifth notes). The
following sections describe the various control keys.
