Strum Speed: If you set the Speed of the strum to, say, 80ms, then the guitar chord will
be “strummed” over a period of 80ms.
Strum Delay: If the Delay start time is left at zero, the strum will end at the original
time of the melody note. If you set it to 50% delay, the strum will be in its midpoint at
the original start time of the Melody note, and if it's set to 100%, the strum won't start
until the time of the original note. The most musical setting is about 50% delay. A delay
of 0% also sounds good, and has the added advantage that it doesn't shift the actual time
of the Melody note (relevant if you keep regenerating the solo on the Melody track).
The [Plucked] or [Strummed] button sets these settings to preset values.
Chord Types to Include
You can decide which types of chords should be included in the chord solo:
Chord Types (Best/Good/Advanced/Unusual/Barre/Open Strings).
- Best chords are the most commonly played chords by pro guitarists.
- Good chords are popular alternate chords.
- Advanced chords are chords that are difficult to play, or have advanced voicings.
- Unusual chords are voicings that should be avoided in most cases, but have some
uses.
- Barre chords are chords that require the index finger to be played in a Barre
position.
- Include Open Strings can be set to Never/Sometimes/Favor. If set to “Never,” no
chords that require and open string will be played. If set to “Favor,” it will play
open strings whenever possible, and “sometimes” is a “middle ground” setting.
