chord | Detect time:
0ms = Detect Time is OFF
Usually when a chord is played on the keyboard, not all keys are pressed at
the same time. To compensate for this variance and to correctly detect a
chord, the engine has to wait for all chord notes to arrive. By default this
time is 25ms, but it can be lowered if your chord playing is very accurate, or
for faster tempos.
cHoRD SEtUP | AUto VoIcING
Auto Voicing | Allow String Skipping:
Enable this to simulate how chords would be played by a real guitarist.
Auto Voicing | Extend chords:
Acou6tics can automatically translate keyboard-voiced chords into guitar-
voiced chords. You can turn this feature on or off here. If you turn ‘ Extend
chords’ off, your chords aren’t translated to guitar chords, but of course
they are still transferred to the best fitting position on the virtual fretboard.
Auto Voicing | Extend chords | Keep Root Note:
Select guitar chord voicings which have the same root note as the chord
you are playing on your keyboard.
Auto Voicing | Extend chords | Prefer Barred chords:
Prefer barred chords over chords which have open strings in them when
playing in higher positions on the fretboard.
cHoRD SEtUP | SELEct BESt VoIcING
Acou6tics has a guitar chord library with up to 50 different voicings per
chord. The engine tries to select the best fitting chord in real-time,
depending on different parameters. You can set up the importance of those
parameters with this setting.
Select Best Voicing | Keyboard octave:
Chords played in higher octaves will move the guitar voicing up on the
fretboard. For example, Cmaj in the lowest octave will be played with an
open voicing and Cmaj in the highest octave will be played as a barred
chord on fret 12.
Select Best Voicing | By chord Shape:
Prefer easier to play chord shapes over more complex ones.
Select Best Voicing | By Number of Strings:
Prefer voicings which are played on more strings over voicings played on
less strings. E.g. prefer a six string chord over a four string chord.
Select Best Voicing | By Last Position:
Prefer voicings which are played within the same position on the fretboard
you’ve played your last chord in.
