Recording strumming types
The octave from C2 to B2 is devoted to selecting a strumming
type. By pressing these keys, you play fast strumming samples:

Recording single strings
The octave from C3 to B3 is devoted to selecting a single string
(or more than one) for playing arpeggios or power chords. You
can either play a free arpeggio with the six guitar chords assigned
to the C~A keys, or play one of the faster sampled arpeggios on
the higher keys. The root note is always available on the C# key,
while the fifth note is always assigned to the D# key; with them,
you can always play the lowest notes of an arpeggio. This octave
also includes an 'all mute' key (F#):

Recording RX Noises
Further on, the upper octaves are used to trigger RX Noises:

Selecting a Capo
Together with strumming types, single strings and RX Noises,
you can choose a capo (capotasto). Note that this might prevent
some single strings to sound, depending on the composed
chord. You can always see with strings are playing and which are
not, as described in the "Diagram" section below.
Choosing a Key/Chord
The pattern is recorded in the key indicated by the Key/Chord
pair of parameters. However, this parameter is only considered
during playback of the Intro 1 and Ending 1 Style Elements.
With Intro 1 and Ending 1 (both Chord Variation 1 and 2) you
can also enter a chord progression. This is done with the lowest
MIDI octave (C-1 ~ B-1). Chord types are inserted by using
velocity, as shown in the following table:
Vel. Chord Type
1 Major
3 Major 7th
5 Suspended 4th
7 Major 7th suspended 4th
9 Minor 6th
11 Minor 7th flatted 5th
13 Dominant 7th
15 7th suspended 4th
17 Diminished major 7th
19 Augmented 7th
21 Major w/o 3rd
23 Flatted 5th
Playing back the pattern
When in Stye Play mode, the recorded Guitar pattern is trans-
posed according to the chord recognized on the keyboard. The
way it is transposed depends on the programmed pattern, with
the chosen positions, strumming mods, etc...
