Chord Banks
Six String Chords
Twelve String Chords
The Chord Banks folder is designed to help you play realistic rhythm
guitar patterns using either a 6-string or 12-string steel-stringed
guitar. There are two master keyswitched instruments ("Six Str
Chords KSW" and "Twelve Str Chords KSW") and then a number of
subsets which will be described shortly.
The two master instruments operate identically and differ only in the
type of guitar used for the recordings. They have a specific layout
that is arranged in octaves:
The lowest octave from C0-B0 contains silent keyswitch triggers.
They tell the engine to switch chord types. When a keyswitch trigger
is hit, no sound is made, but the next chord played will come from
the layer triggered by the keyswitch. With a little practice, it's easy to
reach for these keyswitches with the left hand while the right hand is
strumming chords. The chord types available are:
C0 = major
C#0 = major, alternate inversion
D0 = minor
D#0 = minor, alternate inversion
E0 = major 7
F0 = dominant 7
F#0 = minor 7
G0 = sus2
G#0 = sus4
A0 = half diminished (min7b5)
A#0 = diminished 7
B0 = augmented
