lodic or harmonic accompaniment patterns.

strumming or arpeggios.
4 Use the Trigger Mode parameter to define how Bass and Acc-type tracks are
retriggered when the chord is changed.
trigger Mode Meaning
Off Each time you play a new chord, current notes will be stopped. The
track will remain silent until a new note will be encountered in the
pattern.
Rt (Retrigger) The sound will be stopped, and new notes matching the recognized
chord will be played back.
Rp (Repitch) New notes matching the recognized chord will be played back, by
repitching notes already playing. There will be no break in the sound.
This is very useful on Guitar and Bass tracks.
5 Use the Tension checkbox to allow for intentional dissonances in the accom-
paniment.
Tension adds notes (a 9th, 11th and/or 13th) that have actually been played to
the accompaniment, but haven’t been written in the Style pattern.
