Chord recognition and the Riff
All the most popular chords are recognised by the instrument’s Arranger. In particular,
the Major, Minor and Seventh chords are exploited to provide musical arrangements
(patterns) adapted for the selected rhythm.
The various patterns generated are called RIFFS; these are musical motifs capable of
repetition which vary in “length” from one to eight bars long.
Up to 18 Riffs, each providing a different pattern, can make up a Style (the Internal Styles
do not exploit all - Prog. Styles are freely programmable).
The Riffs available:
Basic pattern: Major Minor 7th
Intro pattern: Major Minor 7th
Fill in pattern: Major Minor 7th
Ending pattern: Major Minor 7th
Basic Variation: Major Minor 7th
Fill Variation: Major Minor 7th
All recognised chords are displayed in the “Chord box” in the top right corner when a
Style is playing and the current riff being played is monitored in the right part of the
display:
In practice, pressing only one note plays a Major chord (the “One Finger” function is
active in default). Minor and Seventh chords are recognised by playing two notes (see
“One Finger” further ahead).
NB. If you play a chord (or make a mistake) which the internal computer is unable to
recognise, the Style plays a root bass note with sparse accompaniment to avoid
discordant situations.
