Hi Dennis,
personally I don't miss electric guitar capability, the styles I play round with don't really use them.
Hopefully they will expand the feature for users who do use them, like yourself.
I don't own the earlier dvd's either, by the time they came out, I'd pretty much sorted out the functions in the korg that interested me. Same with guitar mode,I've almost sussed it out.It's mainly the single notes & the capo that still have me a tad confused.
What I'm actually doing at the moment is, record various single notes ( in guitar mode) as a style track. I don't mean the strum notes, but the actuall single notes used for arpeggio's etc. the c3 to a3 range.
Next record a short sequence in the korgs sequencer using the style. Then use the sequencers event list editor to see what notes have actually been recorded.
The single notes recorded in Guitar style mode , will not be the same notes when recorded as a midifile. Just have to get my head around this one if I want to record an arpeggio in guitar mode.
One thing I was happy to find out was that RX noises are automatically created as part of the strum. That's the thing that grabbed my attention in the video clip. I was under the impression they had to be added seperately, but appears not to be the case afterall. Don't know if it adds them to single notes though. Suppose I'll find out soon enough when I start experimenting with them.
Personally I wouldn't have a clue where to add them, so I started studying some of the psr megavoice guitar styles. I also hope to find them an interesting source for guitar rhythms.
I'm not terribly musical, so I need a source to copy ie when to strum up or strum down, or use a strum mute etc.
It's going to be interesting.
As you said buying the earlier set just to get the new one, wouldn't be worth it. We'll just have to plod on and figure it out ourselves haahaa.
