As always, with audio loop backing, I want to hear it deals with more than basic maj min and 7ths.
Where’s the 6/9’s? Where’s the augmented chords? Where’s the open 5’s? Where’s the half diminished? Where’s the 7#9’s?
For it to impress professionals, shouldn’t it be able to play more than basic chords?
And sorry, but we have moved WAY past sampled saxes that tongue every note. Articulated at a minimum, modeled for true ‘pro’ results.
I know these audio loop things impress when deliberately restricted to basic chords, but surely in these days of SSD’s and fast streaming, why can’t we have audio loops of more than three or four basic chords?
With the EVENT, you the user can now create your own Live Guitar and audio arrangements so the sky is the limit.
I am sure once it is released and you purchase one, you will be able to dig in deeper and experiment to the fullest with how it handles these other chord variants [Where’s the 6/9’s? Where’s the augmented chords? Where’s the open 5’s? Where’s the half diminished? Where’s the 7#9’s?] which if missing you can produce for your styles and taste of music. That is the beauty of this keyboard - the power is in the hands of the end user to create whatever they want.
why can’t we have audio loops of more than three or four basic chords?We can. You can have up to 1024 Audio Guitar chord wave-files per style assigned to a style so if what is provided isn't enough, you can add even more chord variations to the table.
So, to be clear, if I want to play music with more than utterly basic chords, I will have to hire a studio for days, pay a guitarist, horn section, string section, a bass player, and spend hours trying to get them to play the same pattern in all keys with metronomic precision, then spend days auditioning the loops to balance them and make sure they transition well to other chords.
For every single style I feel like playing more than 3 or 4 basic chords.
Yeah, right. 🙄 I will not be buying one. The arranger will cost next to nothing compared to what I would have to pay just to make a few styles.
This is the rabbit hole of audio loop backing. I truly believe it’s a dead end. There are quite spectacularly good VSTi’s that sound utterly convincing doing guitar strumming and picking. Acoustic and electric. And they play all chords, all positions, correctly voiced. Same with virtual basses. Integrate one of those into an arranger, you get the same results as an audio loop, but without the drastic reduction of chord types available.
An insane suggestion to ‘make your own audio styles if you want more than basic chords’ is truly no solution whatsoever. The fact that the machine IS capable of covering all commonly used chords (which is a damn sight more that maj min and 7ths!) but Ketron did not actually bother recording them all while they were creating them shows what these would cost. Or did you only record the bare minimum because you have a poor opinion about the skill off you customers?
That suggestion is an insult to anyone with even a basic knowledge of recording.
