Useful information about Accompaniment:
The Accompaniment track includes the bass line and other synthesizer sounds that you hear when the module is
playing a Sequence. The drum track and Accompaniment track play simultaneously, and you can mute either of
the tracks as they play with the MUTE DRUMS or MUTE ACCOMP buttons.
Just as each drum Instrument of a Kit belongs to a Category (e.g., KICKS, SNARES, LATIN PERC, etc.)
Accompaniment Instruments are also grouped into several Categories: BASS, SYN BASS, FX, and HIT GROUPS.
Also, just like drum Voices, the Accompaniment has two Layers of Instruments. Layer A is usually the bass line.
Layer B is often something different – another melodic line, chords, or "hits."
NOTE: The available instruments for the hi-hat
and Ride cymbal categories are pro-defined setsof
sounds designed to work together (e.g. the hi-hat can
produceopen, closed, "chick", or splash sounds) You can
assign any category or instrument you like for the hi-hat
and Ride cymbal triggers, but because other instruments
are designed to work differently, the results will vary.
