We even made the sharing of these patterns easy,
just save them and send them to other users, the
database can only grow!
Make sure that you check the to get an idea of how
it works.
The Pattern Maker is an improved step sequencer made especially for guitar strumming. Each fret represents a
quarter note and you can either add a whole chord or just a single string (if the link icon is unselected). If
multiple events are in the same step, they will be strummed following our strum engine parameters.
You can control a few aspects of the pattern you create.
The velocity of each event can be changed by selecting an event and dragging the mouse over it, if
you set the velocity to 0, the event will be removed,
The up and down arrows at the top control the way you strum the chord (up or down),
You can mute a string completely by clicking on the speaker icon at the left of the sequencer,
You can play a muted chord by pressing the mute button on each step,
The Stop buttons allow you to release a chord at the end of each step,
The Strum Speed controls the speed of the strumming of the pattern,
The Shuffle and Humanize knobs are general parameters and control the same thing as the ones
present on the patterns panel,
You can create as many pattern pages as you want, giving you access to many variations by just pressing one
key. Of course you can copy the content of one page to another, reset a page or the whole pattern. You can
also import the factory presets and modify them as you want, save your patterns, reload them and preview or
add them to the pattern list. Once you click the "Add to pattern" button, the pattern you created will appear at
the bottom of the patterns list in the pattern panel.
Song Builder
The song builder panel is the feature that will let you
compose songs extremely quickly. Sometimes
playing a series of chords can be complicated,
especially if you are not an advanced keyboardist.
The song builder allows you to decide which chord
will be triggered when selecting only one note. For
example pressing only the C will be recognized as a
C Major. You can repeat the operation for the whole
12 notes of the octave and this way construct your
songs and play them easily.
We included a selection of presets to give song
ideas, chord progressions, modes or chord types.
Combine this with the patterns and pressing two
keys at the same time is enough to play a song.
