SEQ works well. Tip, turn off SEQ if you just want to free play and not have it END abruptly. If they light is on, it will only play the sequence which could be 1 1 part and 1 second up to multi parts and 240 seconds.

I have the Trio Plus and I believe that adding effects to the drum output is essential for making it better sounding for live gigs. As a guitar playing improvement tool, it has no equal. The closest would be Boss multi phrase loopers, but those do not give you a drummer AND a bassist.

Cool video. Questions...for anyone. If I turn down druns and base, will it record it that way and save it e.g., for the intro? Why does the STYLE always change randomly? I want it to stay on 1, until I change it. Is there a way to program an OUTRO? What does the pedal help me do?
@stevegroves
5 ай бұрын
Thank you! OK I believe the drum / bass settings can be set at the level you need, and will record at that level. They can be adjusted louder on playback if required. Style setting, It will change segment setting within the style according to speed and style of chords played, you can rotate control back on playback to see if it still suits what you wanted. I guess an outro can be recorded by selecting another section as you can record up to 5 sections within a track setting. I often record an intro, main section then an outro. I use the pedal often as a looper, just recording some backing that I then play lead over, its a great tool for this. You can just record a guitar loop without using the band part. I use this pedal for producing full tracks by also recording on a laptop using an audio interface, using this pedal for playing backing.
@MOAB-UT
5 ай бұрын
@@stevegroves Thanks. So on your outro, does it end with a cymbal crash like a proper outro? I dunno. Seems like the style wheel does it's own thing. I don't change a thing and then I look and all the settings are mixed up and it's beating away at 2x the speed. It's fiddly. I nail it sometimes- I use the ALT Time and Simple Bass buttons a lot. For known tunes or musical ideas I am going to start writing down a log of which settings sound best with what I want to play. I will note the Genre and Style. The Audiolastic feature is cool too but if you touch it off high noon, you cannot record anymore- it's done. I gravitate towards Rock, R&B, Latin and Jazz. I love Blues but not fond of how the Trio does "Blues." All in all, it's a great practice tool that, in a pinch can be used live if you save multiple SD cards and note how you saved them. The software is pretty basic but works. I am curious what that other bloke was starting to say about Drum Effects. It is too bad that this company was sold and there will not be more development on this platform. I suppose Band in A Box is a more capable package but it's softward and not much fun as this plug and play form factor. Imagine a Trio+ v2 with better drums, added Keyboards; more controls and better PC editor and more I/O. It would be great to send guitar and drums out to separate outputs. I have a sweet set-up. I use (2) Y cables. I have it going out to a sub and, 2 studio monitors and an acoustic amp. A mixer might work better but this actually does the job and saves me room. I then, have a pedal board on it's own completely independant path. My Godin xTSA guitar has two outputs (Piezo and Elec. pup.) I can play my loop/band, then come in with the full power of my Electric Guitar and pedalboard which I have powering 3 different, very high quality amps including one hand wired tube amp. My gear is clearly superior to my level as a player- but on a good day I almost sound good!

@@MOAB-UT Yep it often ends with a symbol crash which kind of works. Sounds like you have a good set up! Thanks for all the details this can really help folks and of course bring in comments from folks that use similar setups. I think the Boss RC10R has much better drums as you can also download drum patterns from a library and have far more control on drum starts and finishes. I have yet to try one but if I ever was to replace the trio it would be with the Boss. For what it is the Trio + really is a superb pedal, reckon I use it more than anything else. Its also great for using with recording software. Thanks again for all your detailed comments, really appreciate them.

@@stevegroves Thanks. A huge take away is your drums and bass will sounds worlds better going out to STUDIO MONITORS, not an amp. Using a Y cable I go out to a home theatre $800 sub woofer. The Studio monitors have tweeters so you hear the cymbals in all their glory. Then, again, I use my pedalboard to jam over whatever band creation I make. I suppose I could mic and record the whole thing if I ever wanted to but I am just a casual at home jammer these days. Point is, each instrument likes it's own type of speaker. Guitar amps are really just for Guitar tones and there are three types: mostly clean or light drive like a Fender Reverb, Distortion focused amp (I use a Boss Katana via a A/B/Y pedal) and an Acoustic Amp for all things clean and Acoustic. No tonal compromises. To my ear, drums and cymbals coming out of a regular guitar amp sounds god awful. Like a speaker playing underwater. My set up actually sounds like a real band is in the room. Adding FRFR monitors is the trick. They work great with modelers too.

It needs set up first. If you just want bass and drums, you you hit the R/H button play the chords in the key you want, say for Am strum Am then maybe C then G to train the pedal and then hit the button again. It will then play back drums and bass to match what you played. If you want to add those chords as backing to go with the drums and bass you can over dub them using the left hand button. This is a basic answer and a bit waffly but in short no it won't just play along. I think the latest spark amps do something like you ask but not 100% sure.

Good question, not tried it as dont have a keyboard to hand, but my thoughts are that the input circuitry is geared around the low level signal that a guitar creates and not for a keyboard. My guess would be its not suitable for a keyboard, someone may hopefully be able to confirm this answer or give more detail. If I get chance to try it I will update.
