Want an app to do this: Digitech Trio

This pedal will take your guitar strumming and automagically create a bass and drum part that goes along with the chords and rhythm.

Can any iPad app do anything like this? I have iReal Pro and other backing track creators, but nothing that takes a musical signal as input and cranks out the backing track.

Thanks,

    Sounds very cool. I want an app for that too. :) Bass I can do, but drums I cannot.

    Midi arrangers do this. Play a chord and it follows it. Does fills, breaks, variations.

    I use a BK-7m daily like this. Awesome thing.

    But this is analog so I haven't a clue what's going on here.

    This pedal thing could be cool, but you get what you pay for usually. Though, tech advancements can be surprising

    Thanks, Nubus! Knowing the right terminology is the key thing in our google-ized world. I see a search on "MIDI arranger" turns up a few things.

    Uh, not so fast :D

    You said "Strum a guitar..." . Problem here is.....don't even go there. Trust me : )

    (actually midi guitar apparently works pretty well fingerstyle)

    As a matter of fact, the more I think about it, this Trio thing is most likely nightmarishly glitchy. Lets's face it LOL. Probably so much so i've just now completely lost interest.

    Fun to think about though.

    Duly noted.

    There are apps such as Jam Synth which take your audio signal and convert it to midi.

    I've been beta testing the Trio for months now, and it's actually not glitchy at all - As long as you're strumming your chord progression/rhythm in the 'learn' phase, and not trying to solo yet, It very accurately picks up what you're doing. There are a couple good videos up now:


    Let me know if you guys have any other questions about it!

  • NubusNubus

    Thanks for that! Those videos are exciting.

    It's a great idea and certainly will sell well i'm sure. I'll be the first in line to try one.

    (i'm such a pushover LOL )

    It really is super fun to play with - I'd also love it as an iOS app, but as far a plug-and-play way to practice and jam, it's pretty phenomenal.

  • nremondellinremondelli

    One of the real bummers here is that it doesn't have the ability (yet) to work with your DAW. I'd love to see something similar in a bigger, non-pedal unit that works with a DAW. I think most people don't need something like this to jam or practice with. I think most people would use it to record drums into projects.

    I'd love to see it output MIDI so the drums and bass could be any synth.

  • tatotato

    Have you seen Digitech's new release? In SDrum, the rhythm is created from the pulsation in the strings of the guitar. very practical. Praying for an iOS app to do that too ;-)

    I bought the Trio+ pedal last year just to try out the technology and took it back the very next day.
    It was very glitchy and hard to achieve good results.
    It was unpredictable when I needed predictable...
    And most importantly, it had no MIDI capabilities...
    It might work for what you're doing, but I do not recommend the trio at all. There also is this new product...

    Old thread, but after 11 years anything changed? Is there app that will recognize my strumming chords from guitar to build basslines on the fly like Digitech Trio does?

    AFAIK you have to train the Digitech Trio, so it's not quite on the fly (please correct me if I'm wrong).

    The only app I know that can do something similar is Logic Pro, but of course it's subscription-only and Apple have made this even worse by pulling the individual app and only offering it as part of a bundle now.

    A few years ago, Positive Grid released the “GoBeats” app, but unfortunately it was removed from the App Store.
    You’d play a guitar riff, and the app would automatically generate bass and drums.
    The same developer also offers the app “Spark: Chords, Backing Track”, which features the “Smart Jam” function.
    I’m not sure if it only works with the Spark Amps, but the app is free, so it’s worth a try.
