Hi, I'm just starting with AGC and Strumaker III, and I could not find how to create 2 octaves (1 major chords and 1 minor)from strumaker III (only 1 octave) like the Jstrums pattern with his own strumaker which have 2 octaves.
Thanks for your help.

Nobody?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Dan,

StrumMaker 3 uses 3 octaves- one for patterns and 2 for manual up and down strokes.
You can easily create, for instance, a setup with a G major and G minor both in the same octave by using user chords. This is all covered quite fully in the manual, and this is also covered in the earlier StrumMaker II video. The Torch Extended Demo also might be helpful, and although the GUI is different, the operation is essentially the same.

To have a G major and G minor (as an example) available at the same time:

Play a G key.
Select "minor" on the Variation knob.
"Copy To" an unused user location. Let's say G#.
Now set the G back to major on the Variation Knob.
Play a G#.
Set the Variation knob to User and hit G# again.
Now you have G major on G keys and G minor on G# keys.
