words, wherever a THRU harmony is selected, the Soloist part will use

the THRU Harmony settings.

2) We have designed the Soloist not to repeat any solo ideas so that the

solos are always fresh, with new ideas forming and playing all the time.

As a result, we have included a Refresh Soloist menu item under the

SOL menu that, when selected, will allow the Soloist to “think about”

all of its musical notions again. Choosing the “Refresh Soloist” option

(Shift+F7) is like telling the soloist “It's OK, you can play whatever

you like, even if it's something that you played 5 minutes ago.”

3) The Soloist menu contains many options. It has all of the same editing

options found in the Melody menu, so you can treat the Soloist track as

a 2nd melody track. Even if you don't plan to use the Automatic

Soloist feature, you can just use the Soloist track as a 2nd track for

counter melodies, overdubs etc. The result; two melody tracks, two

solo tracks, or one melody and one solo track all at your disposal for

any song, without having to resort to an outboard sequencer.

Solo Modes

As well as the normal mode of soloing for a

number of choruses while the melody is

silent, the Soloist has several other modes.

For example, Fills will “noodle” over the

changes for a percentage of time. Other

modes are Solo Around Melody, Trade 4s,

Solo Wizard, and Custom Solo for a Specific

Range of Bars.

Around Melody option.

This option for the Soloist part creates a solo around the melody, that is, at times

when the melody is silent. To solo around the melody, do the following:

1. Open up a song that has a melody, preferably a sparse melody with some

space in it that a Soloist might be able to “jump in.”

2. Press the Soloist button. Select the Solo Mode “Around Melody.”

3. Set the Soloist to play in All Choruses, and uncheck the “Mute Melody in

Middle” option.

4. Press [OK] and the solo will be generated, playing riffs at times when the

melody isn't playing.
