- > 1) Is there any way to "slur" a note?
-
- There was a good reply to this, but another possibility that wasn't mentioned
- is portamento. This effect causes changes in notes to slide (like one of those
- cheap whistles with the plunger you had when you were a kid).
-
- This effect would be pretty good for slide guitar and other stringed
- instruments but wouldn't be so hot for clarinet I don't think.
-
- Very few sound boards seem to support this, although I haven't checked
- specifically - anyone disagree? I don't know offhand if the GUS supports this.
-
- > transposition
-
- Power Chords doesn't do any transposition via MIDI (it doesn't exist). I think
- the most likely thing is that your MIDI Mapper has a key map that shifts
- playback up by 1 octave (as mentioned in the previous digest).
-
- > 3) Reading the PowerChords Pro propaganda that came with the upgrade
- disks, it says that one can import chord rythms from another
- PowerChords file. Is there a library of standard strumming patterns
-
- There is not any libraries of patterns available from us other than drum patterns. There is an opportunity there if someone wants to
-
- In Power Chords Pro you can import chord rhythms from other Power Chords
- files, or have them generated by the program. You can also translate other
- parts into chord rhythms, from PC or from MIDI files. You can also record
- chord rhythms from a keyboard.

- > Cheesie ASCII graphics of my attempt follows:
-
- Right on.
-
- Have fun with it Pete. How about uploading some of your efforts?
