Instruments

Instruments are groups of chords. You select chord types you want by picking the appropriate instrument. For example, if you wanted just Major and Minor chords you'd select the folder "Major/Minor". Within that folder are more selections, allowing you to pick from full memory and lite versions and alternate samples (to build a bank with a true "doubled" guitar). There are also instruments that include specially equalized (EQ'ed) samples. In addition, the instruments can also offer alternate mapping or sample selection. For example, there are instruments that use the Pitch Wheel to select between sample groups.

The instrument types are as follows

Guitar types

• M6 - Martin D18 6 string
  
• M6EQ - Martin D18 6 string with EQ samples (for even frequency response)
  
• M12 - Martin D28 12 string
  
• M12EQ - Martin D28 12 string with EQ samples (for even frequency response)
  

Chord types

• maj - major chords
  
• min - minor chords
  
• aug - augmented chords
  
• dim - diminished chords
  
• sus - suspended chords (sus 4)
  
• junk - squeaks, slides, fret noise, muted strums
  
• rake - slow down strum (major and minor only)
  

Stroke direction

Default

if not otherwise noted, instruments include both down and up strokes.

Downs

only down stroke strums. Used along with "ups" in a bank to separately control volumes of down strokes and up strokes.

Ups

only up stroke strums. Used along with "downs" in a bank to separately control volumes of down strokes and up strokes.

Sample group access

Default (no suffix)

Sustain Pedal controlled (sus pedal down selects other samples)

PW

Pitch Wheel selects between sample groups

PD&MW

Mod Wheel on changes effect of sus pedal down. (example: mod wheel off, pedal selects minor chords, mod wheel on: pedal selects sus chords.)

PD&PW

Pitch wheel selects between sample groups. Sus pedal also selects between groups.
