Realitone Fingerpick with Pattern Player Released and On Sale!

. . . And since I use a 37 key iRig Pro keyboard when travelling, it would be great if the cancel key wouldn't be too far from the chord keys range…

Good point that I might not have thought of. I use a Korg Nano 25 when traveling, so I understand.

I'll probably have the "Off" keyswitch just above the green keys. I think I'll also make it so if you play a single note (which obviously wouldn't a chord) anywhere in the green keys, then that shuts off the latch as well.

That sounds like a solid idea. I guess the 'single key in green area' would need some slight delay, so that it doesn't kill the latch if I hit a chord slightly rolling? Or activate only on key up, perhaps?

Kind regards,

Our chord-detector only checks exactly on the beat (not during the beat). In fact, if you release a chord right after a new beat starts, the pattern player will keep playing the remaining sixteenth notes for that particular beat. It doesn't stop the pattern instantaneously. We do this intentionally so that people have time to transition to a new chord. They have one beat's worth of time to release the old chord and play a new chord. That's why in the demo, I can change from one chord to another so easily.

So carrying that methodology into a latch situation, if you have a chord playing indefinitely (latched), then during some beat, if you played a single note, then played two more to complete a chord, as long as that chord is completed before the next beat, then the pattern player would just transition into the new chord. It wouldn't stop the latch unless you played one note, but added no other notes before the next beat.

That means you're used to explaining things to drummers? Or maybe new recruits?

According to the Scottish drill sergeant: "First, you tell'em what you're going to tell'em. Then you tell'em. Finally, you tell'em what you've told'em."

I feel very secure with your chord detector.

As I mentioned before, we'll be adding some swing patterns, specifically some twangy ones. In the meantime, though, the swing slider works really well at shufflizing some of the straight patterns. You'll want to slow the tempo a bit, though, to keep things in character. I put together a video to help explain:
