Thank you for your answer,Alec. I have not done anything with the composer yet, but am into it now.I can understand your directions clearly and see how it is done, but there is one thing I don't understand to start with. On the home page, which shows all the instruments there is a "bass" part and if I mute or lower the sound on all the other instruments I can hear it clearly. I thought this was the ROOT BASS.???
Following your directions and with my VARIATION 1 now in MEMORY A,I went to the part setting page and changed the ROOT BASS to WOW BASS on full volume so that I could see what it was playing and although it sounded loud and clear on the part set page when I returned to the home page I couldn't hear it at all. I obviously don't understand its purpose.
Although I am in a fog about this I did follow the workshop on ROOT AND BASS CHORD and put the result setting into my CUSTOM PANEL and it is so useful.
Is this ROOT BASS sound in the APC accompaniment or if it is is it in perhaps only in some of the variations--I only tried the first variation. Thank you for all your help.reguards to all Jean
