What I mean, adi, is that Guitar Mode cannot be triggered by the Arranger. You can only do it manually. And styles, even if you use the Guitar Mode to create the guitar part, do not do all the clever re-voicing tricks that Guitar Mode does.

Guitar Mode changes the inversion of the guitar chord, depending on the octave or inversion you play the input chord in, adds in fret squeaks and mutes as you change chords, and many other things that, once you create style, no longer happen. You create a style with the guitar part in one inversion, it will play EVERY chord in that inversion. And it won't re-voice each chord to be guitar correct, which Guitar Mode does, they will be simple transpositions. This ruins the realism.

And sadly, until Roland add in the capability of having more than one non-transposing (Drum) track to their OS, you cannot use the arranger to trigger it. You need the trigger notes (the ones that play the different strums and rakes, etc.) to NOT transpose as you play different chords, otherwise the strum pattern will change.

I have a request in at roland-arranger.com's New Feature request forum for this feature (for many reasons as well as Guitar Mode - loop slice playback, separate drum and percussion parts, multiple kits in a style amongst others), but in all honesty, Roland users have been begging Roland for more than one drum track for over ten years. So far, for whatever reason, no luck...

But possibly the linking of Guitar Mode and the arranger in Korg's new OS might finally spur Roland to do something about this. Guitar Mode is the START of a good feature, but without it's integration into the arranger OS, it is still little more than a gimmick...
