Arranger

The Arranger is the heart of the automatic accompaniment of the SD1. It allows you to create a dynamic and versatile arrangement using the
Styles and their controls.
A Style is a group of short sequences relevant to major, minor and seventh tonalities or different tonalities combined with each other. The
Arranger has the task to suitably modify those basic sequences, according to the chord played, to create continuous harmonies that may also
be based on more complex chords like the thirteenths and the diminished ones. The sequences a Style is made up of are called Sections and
refer to single moments of the arrangement, like the introduction, the ending and the fill ins, i.e. the small detachments between the single
parts of a piece of music.
Each Section is made up of a number of tracks for the single instruments that make up a musical arrangement.
The SD-1 makes available the following sections for each Style:
Intro 1: one or more introduction bars
Intro 2: one or more introduction bars that are more complex than those of Intro 1
Intro 3: one or more introduction bars that are more complex than those of Intro 2
Fill 1: one detachment bar
Fill 2: one detachment bar that is more complex than the one of Fill In 1
Fill 3: one detachment bar that is more complex than the one of Fill In 2
Break (Fill 4): one percussion detachment bar
To End: a very simple ending bar
Ending 1: one or more ending bars
Ending 2: one or more ending bars that are more complex than those of Ending 1
Ending 3: one or more ending bars that are more complex than those of Ending 2
Arrange A: a simple accompaniment variation
Arrange B: an accompaniment variation that is more complex than the one of Arrange A
Arrange C: an accompaniment variation that is more complex than the one of Arrange B
Arrange D: an accompaniment variation that is more complex than the one of Arrange C
Each section of the Arranger is made up of a maximum of eight tracks divided in
Drum 1: track for the drums and percussion instruments of the Drum Set
Bass: bass line
Chord 1, 2, 3, 4, 5: melodic accompaniment tracks
Drum 2: track where to use the Live Drums and audio samples
Editing, modifying and copying accompaniment tracks and sections is achieved with Edit Pattern.
For each Style, the SD1 allows you to modify the timbres that are assigned to the tracks, as well as the volumes, the pan value and the amount
of the effects sent. To simplify the association between the best timbres and the Right part, each Style makes it possible to store (Style
Setting) the most frequently used timbres. The Arranger is controlled through the SD1 keyboard, pedals and buttons, or via MIDI. This last fea-
ture is particularly useful for those who use a MIDI accordion.
