Virtual Guitarist

VIRTUAL GUITARIST
“ELECTRIC EDITION”
24 English
The keys for the remote octave are mapped out with the following
functions:
❐ You can select which octave on your MIDI keyboard is used as the remote
octave in the setup window’s key remote octave section (see page 47).
Sustain pedal
The sustain pedal has an important function in Virtual Guitarist, and it
works differently depending on whether latch mode is activated or not.
❐ If you don’t have a sustain pedal, you can simulate it by using the B-key in the
remote octave instead (as described in the previous section).
Try experimenting with the functions described in the table below to
get an understanding of how you can use the sustain pedal.
If Virtual Guitarist is not playing and you hold down the sustain pedal,
notes played on the keyboard will result in single long chords, instead
of starting VG’s rhythm playing as usual. (See the “Long chords” sec-
tion on page 23 for more information.)
Key Function Description
C to G Parts one to eight Selects a Part
G# Fret noise Adds fret noise
A Stop noise Triggers a stop noise
A# Fill trigger Triggers a fill
B Sustain pedal Same effect as using the sustain pedal
Latch Mode On Stop function Virtual Guitarist will stop playing if you press
the sustain pedal during playback.
Latch Mode Off Sustain pedal Virtual Guitarist will stop playing as soon as
you release the keys played on the MIDI key-
board, unless you release the keys while the
pedal is down. (This is similar to how the sus-
tain pedal works when playing a piano instru-
ment on a keyboard, for example.)
