ELECTRI6ITY | GETTING STARTED | STEP 4 | PLAYING TECHNIQUES
ELECTRI6ITY offers easy access to some guitar playing techniques which
are hard to emulate on a keyboard. The special keyswitches allow realistic
tremolo picking, trills, and slides.

Trill 1 Fret (half step) C#0 + Any Notes – keep keyswitch
pressed and play notes
Trill 2 Frets (whole step) D#0 + Any Notes – keep keyswitch

Unison Bends Two notes played together in a
minor second or second interval
Press and hold the Tremolo Picking keyswitch. All notes played while the
keyswitch is pressed will be played with tremolo.
Press and hold the Trill 1 Fret keyswitch. All notes played while the
keyswitch is pressed will be played as half-step fingered trills.
Press and hold the Trill 2 Frets keyswitch. All notes played while the
keyswitch is pressed will be played as whole-step fingered trills.
Play a note or chord keep it pressed, then play the Slide 1 Fret Down
keyswitch.
Play a note or chord keep it pressed, then play the Slide 1 Fret Up
keyswitch.
By playing two notes together (at a minor second or major second
interval) and using the pitch bend wheel to bend the lower note up till both
match in pitch, you’ll get that typical guitar effect so often used in all kind
of genres. In ELECTRI6ITY, no keyswitch is necessary to play Unison Bends.
Simply play two notes together and use the pitch bend wheel. Intervals
greater than a whole step will not trigger a unison bend.
