Guitar strumming

[woodman]

HI

 

Need some help with guitar strumming sounds please.

 

Page 17 onwards of Web_MZX500APPEND-131-WL-1B_EN.pdf shows that if you select certain tones (like harmonics guitar KVT ) - and if you hit notes C7 onwards - you can get a strumming sound.

 

I tried this - I do hear some kind of a muted strumming sound akin to playing the guitar with "deadened" strings - how can I get the strumming effect without the strings sounding muted ? - Basically sound as if I am strumming some chords on a guitar ?

 

Thanks

The keyboard generally does not strum for you.  You can do it yourself for some styles (it takes practice), or you can use one of the "Gtr Strk"  strumming arpeggio patterns.   The strumming effects in the guitar samples are exactly as you described, muted strums, designed for particular rhythmic styles.  Demos below, originally done on the PX-5S.

Thank you very much Brad. I will try and make some strumming patterns. The ones you posted sound really great - any chance of posting (AC7 format) them so I can use them as a  guide ?

 

Thanks

Sono interessato a questo argomento di strumming di chitarra, ukulele... ma come è esattamente la procedura perche gli esempi di suono sono molto belli.

Questo Video mostra la tecnica da usare, in più su Mzx si possono utilizzare i vari suoni/rumori tipici della chitarra

Hi there,

For clearer guitar strumming, adjust your strikes and hand movement. Experiment with string separation and velocity sensitivity settings. Keep practicing!

To avoid muted strumming sounds you need to use a lighter touch when strumming and angle your pick slightly so that it only catches the top string, also you can try different strumming patterns and also you can try different pick thicknesses. Good luck and enjoy your cool music.

 

This thread is not about a real guitar.  It is about a keyboard.  Your post does not correlate.
