Creating a Custom Bass Line
Since the GW50 allows you to enter different bass notes at each 16th note in a measure, you can create your own
custom bass line. In this example from measures 4 and 5, a custom bass line is played under a constant A7 chord.
Using Retrigger for Rhythmic Accents
With Retrigger, you can record rhythmic hits or accents at any 16th note point of a measure. Although special
Retrigger patterns (nos. 241 - 244) are provided for this, you can also enter retrigger accents by simply putting in
additional chord events over the pattern currently playing. This would come in handy, for example, if you want to put
accents in just the first half of a measure and let the rhythm continue normally for the last half. However, there is a
restriction on using normal patterns for retrigger purposes: the retrigger points must come during sustained sounds in the
bass or accompaniment.
In this example from measure 53, four chord events (each with a different bass note) have been entered over a sus-
tained bass sound, providing 8th note accents in the first two beats.
