You’re taking advice from a man who relies on chord shortcuts, Dengizich. If you play piano well (I’ve heard your demos, you play well!), you will get along best with Pianist2 mode. It delays the recognition of a new chord until you have FIVE notes down while using the sustain pedal, and really helps clean up pianistically played input. Three notes pedal up, five notes pedal down.

This mode was new to the BK series, the previous G70 had only the Pianist1 mode, and was MUCH harder to get good chord recognition from pianistic input. Pianist2 mode along with using the Dynamic Arranger feature (play harder and the backing plays harder!) has made it a real pleasure to play piano and have the backing track really well.

But to get the most accurate (zero errors) chord recognition, your best bet is to play the track into your DAW, then hard quantize and edit out any flubs, then send that track to the NTA (Note-to-arranger) channel. You’ll get perfect tracks, especially if you move the entire track back a few ticks so that it is FRACTIONALLY early (much less than a 1/16th) and that gives the arranger engine time to change to the new chord before the ‘one’.

If you think about it, unless you rush the beat a tiny bit with your playing, you are asking the arranger to anticipate your next chord, which of course it can’t do! And great music rarely ever rushes, it often drags very slightly to create a groove. This is one of the main problems arranger players face, and you can hear it in so many user demos: To get clean chord recognition most people tend to ‘push’ the beat a bit, and end up with nervous rushing solos. To play an arranger REALLY well, your left hand needs to push a tiny bit on the beat, but your right hand needs to either be spot on time or dragging very slightly (musically!).

I don’t know about you, but I find this damn near impossible! I spent my whole life trying to get both hands to groove the same way…

So the best way to get PERFECT no-glitch tracks is to record the chords, hard quantize and then slide back a few ticks. And then feed to the NTA. Record the results…

Hope this helps.
