Hi Diki,
as far as I'm aware it's used for programming guitar tracks from scratch & done in steptime. You get different strum types.
These strum types are programmed in the lowest octave. The C gives a full down strum D a full up strum F full down mute body etc etc
The next octave up records single strings.
Next Octave up triggers the RX noises.
The chord types are done via velocity ie a velocity of 1 gives a major chord,
velocity 2 maj6th , right up to a velocity of 24 which is a diminished 7th.
I had a breif play around with it a while back, it doesn't appear to work the way you think it does.
Hopefully someone can clear this up.
best wishes
Rikki

OK, my bad about Guitar Mode for PA1X. I thought I read somewhere they had updated the OS (or maybe they just announced they were GOING to...).
From what I gather, I was under the impression that Guitar Mode in Style Mode play was possible on the PA800/2X... The main difference from a style that was MADE using Guitar Mode is that, if you use Guitar Mode and Style Mode (at the same time), the Guitar Mode automatically maps your chords to authentic guitar voicings, whereas once it becomes a regular Style track, the regular rules for chord remapping and transposition apply, leading to a loss of the correct fingering and inversion...
Can someone confirm or correct me? I have been giving Roland a hard time for not integrating the two the way I THOUGHT Korg has done... Please don't tell me I've been abusing them erroneously!
