Ok more stuff from NAMM a pedal that listens to your guitar playing then adds bass n drums to your composition . Great for practice or sketching song ideas

Yep I know there's nothing that replaces jamming around with other guys . But when there not there there's Trio lol

NAMM 2015: With the Trio, DigiTech has served up one of the biggest surprises of the NAMM show so far: the company's new pedal listens to your guitar playing and generates bass and drum parts to match.

The stompbox comes packed with seven music genres – blues, pop, alternative rock, rock, country, R&B and jazz – as well as up to 12 song styles for each genre, and 3/4 and 4/4 time signatures.

You can teach the Trio three different song parts, which can be recalled as the song plays back, while an optional DigiTech FS3X Footswitch allows hands-free selection of parts and styles.

It sounds impossible, but all that's needed is to press the footswitch to teach the Trio your chords and rhythm, then press it again to start playing.

In terms of controls, the Trio offers genre, style, tempo, bass and drums knobs, plus amplifier, mixer and headphone outputs, while built-in guitar effects relative to music genre are also available.

The Trio will be available in the UK from March with an RRP TBC. For more info on the Trio

Rick I'm sure Kimball can provide some basic instructions or there will be plenty of online help and videos. Who knows the software may have a help or instructions menu

In the overview they talk about sessions being stored in the cloud (which isn't free), I presume you can still save sessions to your HD.
Can anyone clarify?

Hey when you get everything sorted out could someone tell me what programs and vsts I need to add multiple horns, strings and keys and other instruments?
I'm beating my head against my Tele trying to figure this stuff out. I always went to a studio told them what I wanted , said yay or nay and that was it. It recorded!!!
Now I'm trying it myself and I'm ready to throw it all out the window. O_O

I thought those demos you had up on Reverbnation sounded slick as, you must know something about production.

Barge ref cloud version I have hasn't got the cloud as part of it . It's in pro tools 12 just also released today.

I just thought it may have been a little catch 22 in the "First" version whereby you're forced to save projects within the cloud only.

I'll give it a go, why not for free. I did a sound engineering course about 15 years ago, and we used Pro Tools on mac back then, let's see what I can remember lol

The cloud is used to let's say have a Bass player in London a drummer in USA and guitarist in Australia all being able to work on the same track collaborating.
