ANAHEIM, California – At NAMM 2015, HARMAN’s DigiTech is introducing
the TRIO Band Creator Pedal, providing the ability to create a band that
plays along with the user. The TRIO Band Creator Pedal listens to what
is played and automatically generates bass and drum parts that match
chord progressions and rhythmic feel. Users simply need to plug a guitar
into TRIO, press the footswitch to teach TRIO the chords and rhythm,
then press the footswitch again to start playing with a customized
personal band.
“TRIO is like no pedal ever created – it’s an
entirely new type of musical accompaniment device,” said Tom Cram,
Marketing Manager, DigiTech. “With TRIO, one musician can now sound like
a full band. It’s an incredibly creative and useful performance tool
for solo artists, or just a great way to have fun while practicing and
jamming.”
The DigiTech TRIO provides seven musical genres to
choose from including Rock, Pop, Country, Alternative Rock, Blues,
R&B and Jazz. Up to 12 song styles are available for each genre and
the player can select between 4/4 and 3/4 time signatures. TRIO can
learn up to three different song parts – for example, verse, chorus and
bridge – which can then be recalled on the fly as the song plays back.
TRIO offers total control over the virtual band’s performance. In
addition to its Genre and Style selector knobs, TRIO’s Bass and Drums
controls provide volume adjustment for both instruments and the Tempo
knob locks in the groove.
The Alt Time button selects an alternate
half time or double time setting for each song part. TRIO even provides
a selection of built-in effects for your guitar that vary according to
the genre selected, letting users play in a power trio, jazz trio or
other ensemble at the touch of a button.
TRIO can be connected
to a guitar amp or directly into a mixer for use with a PA system. A
headphone jack with level control is also included. An optional DigiTech
FS3X footswitch can be connected to the TRIO for hands-free selection
of song parts and styles. The TRIO comes with a power supply and its
rugged-stage-worthy metal enclosure ensures reliable operation gig after
gig.
The DigiTech TRIO Band Creator Pedal will be available in March 2015 at a suggested retail price of $224.95.
