Inspired by Geert's excellent "Wish You Were Here" cover I decide to try out the approach using Applied Acoustics Strum Acoustic GS-1 (its free to download a demo version - try b4 u buy!). It worked really well - I set up my Tau in keysplit 3 with 4 being chord and 6 being the higher keys that allowed me to pick and control strumming. Neat! (didn't go as far as using the lower keys like Geert, but possible)
But that got me thinking...
I want to play another voice separately over the guitar (unlike Geert my singing has been banned by international treaty), but with this approach I am at least one hand short.
What I'd like to do is use the Arranger to set-up/control the pick/strum pattern for the guitar synth. i.e. Make it so I use the arranger interface to set up a pick pattern so that when I play a chord in, say, keygroup 3 the arranger automatically picks the right notes. (I know it won't trigger like a true arp but that's not what I'm looking for)
But I can't get the Tau to do it because the Arrangers use S3 and AU4 and these are not accessible to play on the keygroups ??? (so I can't make the arranger and a keyset play the same voice, although two keysets can). Is there a way of doing this on-board the Tau?
I am about to try using MIDI to do it which should work, but surely there must be a way of doing this? Something in Belcanto I could do?
