NI ELECTRIC VINTAGE TUTORIAL PART1: Patterns, Keyswitches & Endings 

The wait is over!

Great. That’s exactly what we’re trying to achieve :)

For the love of God, yes please.

You can make your own patterns but it is slow and difficult, and not without problems

Basically, whenever using any of the Session Guitarist libraries within a DAW, its playback is synced to the transport of the host. Therefore, a two-bar pattern will start at bar one, start over at bars three, five, seven and so on. When you 'come in late', the pattern will come in late as well, i.e. it will start playing from the next strum in the pattern. Let's say, you play a chord on the second beat of bar two, you'll hear the last three beats of the two-bar loop and it will start over on bar three. If you want to shift the pattern to a different position, use the pattern shift feature in the inspector. If you want it to be a little laid back, use the timing offset on the playback page.

Hi man....I have the same problem with the electric vintage. I don't hear the metronome.....Did you find a solution?

Actually, that's a great-working and convenient alternative. Still, make sure to position pattern changes slightly ahead of chords.

Correct.

In the melody instrument, you can change the Fret Position of all Melody articulations by sending MIDI CC#114 to Electric Vintage.

@@experience_music Wow, really? In fact I tried to "midi learn" the control, but this is super good news. As a matter of fact I just bought Vintage Electric, so I'll try right now!

@@experience_music Works perfectly! Thanks!

Yes, for some reason the click sample is not active in Electric Vintage and El. Sunburst Deluxe. I'll have to look into it.

With the melody instrument, you can freely play any melody or pattern you like. Try using the fret position, articulation and fingers/plec feature.

@@recording-tutorials thanks!!

The full circles are supposed to indicate accents within the pattern.

Die enthaltenen Effekte sind die Gleichen, ja, aber andere Sound Presets.

@@recording-tutorials ok, Danke. Für mich deshalb interessant da ich z.B. links die Sunburst Deluxe und rechts die Vintage für Rhythm Pattern einsetzen möchte.

Hi, you can play any chords you like. In your case, there are two options: a) Turn the auto chords off, and select one of the five voicing presets in the dropdown menu. Now you can play simple chords, such as your progression Em, G, A, C, D etc., and the voicing generator will turn your simple triads into typical voicings. b) Turn the auto chords off, and also turn the voicing generator off by selecting "as played" or "OFF (globally)". Then you can play any chord, voicing or inversion you like, and the playback will be an exact representation of your played notes. In our next video, we'll address exactly this topic. Please stay tuned.

@@experience_music I’m simply wanting to play one finger chords in that progression of Em G A C D so have the ability to fine tune the auto chords available to match any unavailable in the minor or major scales you have at present. Better still, the ability to play in chords and have the software match the scale say Dorian, etc. I think it should be possible to play House of the rising sun chords because the one finger chord option is a great selling point

@@andymacc Well, the mentioned chord progression of the song "House of the rising sun" switches between three different E based modes or scales: Starting from E dorian (A major contains the E dorian major six "c sharp"), then E aeolian (reverting back from c sharp to c in the C major chord), and eventually even to the E melodic minor scale containing the leading-tone d sharp in the B major chord. Bottom line, the auto chords module can only be seen as a limited way of playing the seven degrees in a typical major or minor scale, not being able to switch between three different scales or modes as you play. Even if possible, that would be way more complex than simply playing the desired triads without the auto chords module engaged. So back to my suggestion of deactivating the auto chords mode to play your desired chord progression only with the voicing generator: You can even reduce the triads to two-note intervals, which are still converted to full chords and voicings by the voicing generator: Playing a minor third (e.g. e and g) will create a minor chord, while playing a major third (e.g. a and c sharp) will generate a major chord. If the voicing is major by default, you can even leave out the third and play only a single key. That's as close as it gets to "one finger playing".

@@experience_music Thank you so so much for your in depth reply and the breakdown of these scales. It is strange that I seem to write in this way at times and House of the rising sun seemed a great way to convey my obvious difficulties in trying to play software in this way. Yes, the two finger method I will now try. That will be a great help. I do love the inspiration this guitar emulation brings and the time saved plugging pedals together for quick ideas. I do come at this as a creative rather than a theorist type of musician so having your response really helps get past the frustration felt initially, by understanding this in such detail. How fascinating. Maybe let people know too, the differences between deluxe and vintage, not just in model tonality but, in the patterns and presets built in or if they’re the same that’s cool too of course. Once again thank you so much for all the help. Bottleneck sounds one day??? All the best

You can shorten the length of any pattern to fit 3/4, 7/8 or any other signatures.

The latest. Just update through the Native Access tool.

Kontakt (6th edition, b7t it’s called “Kontakt” unlike the previous versions that included one of the numbers 2-5)
