recording different chord sequences on different variations?

Hi All,

Just wondring if it's possible to record different custom chord sequences for different variations with the same custom style?

For example, for variation 1, 2, and 4, I want to use a specific chord sequence for "theme" or "verse", and use variation 3 with a different chord sequence for "reprise/chorus".

For the moment, any chord sequence that I pre-record is applied to all four variations, but I would have thought there should be away to split them, or am I asking too much from a 5K Euro instrument ?

Qui had the best answer for doing something like that using midi files and markers. He put out a video, just look online.

Yes indeed...I'd imagine you could create a chord prog pattern on your DAW, one for each of your sections, then import that MIDI into PA5x and then set markers for the sections assigned the Intro, Var 1, Var 2 etc, and save to Songbook.

Thanks for the replies... I only really use the DAW (Logic Pro) for recording from audio since I don't have a midi interface. Doing that all from mouse-clicks seems like it will take me weeks just for a 3 minute segment ... LOL
(I've honestly not used Logic Pro as an actual DAW for almost 2 years, even though I have pretty much all of the Garritan VSTs installed... the latency between the audio across the mixer, loopstation, and audio interface, means that I couldn't really use the PA5X as a midi controller anyway... besides, no way to loop it back to the loopstation...)


Thanks anyway...

Korg, if you're listening, maybe in a future version a way to record seperate chord sequences directly on the instrument ? ;)
