Solo JamSession
The Solo JamSession lets you create complete songs single-handedly. Begin with a
simple idea, a small riff, or a chord progression. This is then recorded and put straight
into an endless loop after the recording.
Now, you can record a melody on a different track. The program simulates working
with hardware "Looping delays", like, for example, the Gibson Echoplex. The
difference is that Samplitude Music Studio 2013 creates an arrangement during
"looping" which can later be edited and compiled into a complete song, because Solo
JamSession records everything you do.
Open
• Start Samplitude Music Studio 2013 and select "New Solo Jam Session" from the
start selection or
• create a new arrangement.
You can start your Solo Jam Session via the Menu (view page
396) or the "Recording" button in the tab toolbar.

Note: Solo JamSession simultaneously serves as a simple recording in the "Easy"
workspace. Please read more on this in the quick start manual under "Recording"
(view page 24).
Operation
If you cannot use a MIDI input device or joystick, you should control your Solo
JamSession entirely via your keyboard.
The spacebar (or the sustain pedal or joystick button) will trigger different actions
depending on which mode you selected.
If you are recording multiple tracks (up to 8 tracks are possible), you may mute
individual tracks during the session using the keys 1-8. These actions are also
recorded in the arrangement, so that a complex arrangement is created, even while
recording.
