BASS: The BASS track always plays a bass line, but the voice will change to fit
the selected style acoustic bass, synth bass, tuba, etc.
RHYTHMIC CHORD 1 & 2:
Both these tracks provide the rhythmic chordal accompaniment required by
each style. Youll find guitar, piano, and other chordal instruments here.
PAD CHORD: This track plays long chords where necessary, using sustained instruments
such as strings, organ, choir.
PHRASE 1 & 2: This is where the musical embellishments reside. The PHRASE tracks are
used for punchy brass stabs, arpeggiated chords, and other extras that make
the accompaniment more interesting.
Try different combinations of tracks with each style. Some styles will sound best with the full arrangement
(all tracks ON), while others might suit your needs better if a smaller arrangement is used. To thin out an
arrangement, the PHRASE 1 and PHRASE 2 tracks are the first ones youll want to turn OFF.
Another way to use the tracks is to gradually build up the arrangement during the course of a song. Start
with a small arrangement e.g. RHYTHM 1, BASS, and RHYTHMIC CHORD 1 then add tracks one by
one as you want to thicken the musical texture.
Some styles will actually sound quite different depending on the combination of tracks you choose. Try,
for example, just RHYTHM 1, BASS, and PAD CHORD.
