"Every so often, an innovative and easy-to-use piece of technology comes along that makes me (and everyone that I show it to) grin from ear to ear and get right down to making music with it. DigiTech’s brand-new Trio Band Creator is most definitely in that category”.
"Designed for use primarily with guitar, the Trio can analyse up to three different chord progressions and, having worked out the key, time signature (3/4 and 4/4 only), length, tempo, number of bars, feel and constituent chords, it instantly creates, plays, loops and varies bass and drum parts that fit those sequences. On top of that, those parts can be played in any one of seven different Genres, each of which contains 12 distinctly different Styles, nine in 4/4, and three in 3/4. That’s a pretty impressive performance by any standard".
"At this point, the fun starts and your smile will widen because you’ll now have an inventive bassist and a rock-solid drummer playing along with you. You can then experiment with any Genre and its Styles until you find a combination you’re happy with. You’ll also find that the rhythm patterns vary, with the drummer in particular getting into little fills and embellishments".
"...the Trio’s immediacy and ease of use that make it so much fun to make music with. Your bassist and drummer friends may not like listening to you raving about the Trio, but they’ll get used to it. Mine are going to have to!"
