Hi pals and guitar lovers 🎸 🎸 🎸 Waiting that Scaler devs find a way to have Keys-Lock optimized for the guitar, I found a wonderful and easy workaround for AAS Strum-GS 2 in Guitar mode (without Auto) Here is the routing: 2 identical instances of Scaler each driving a guitar with different amps ![Routing](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex012/uploads/scalermusic/original/2X/e/ef13a92fb45848fb4b214d139e832d1d20bfa635.jpeg) Broomstick Bass with its drummy metronome gives the groove needed to play properly the accompaniment & the solo Here is the XML, identical for the 2 Scaler instances: no Keys-Lock selected, and no Performance Just the series of chords in Section C [Scaler state](https://forum.scalermusic.com/uploads/short-url/o54njqnxPJkkuxV4vfnkykupdWw.xml) (17.9 KB) And here is the trick 1 step - In the 1st guitar track I record the accompaniment hitting just the Strumming keys with red lines, i.e. Upstroke, Palm mute, Downstroke, Muffled down, and Muffled up With a little practice even a poor guitarist like me is able to produce interesting strummings, and with many variations ![Chords](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex012/uploads/scalermusic/original/2X/6/69a102b63995ee9c5e349696599f19b4b8b46a6e.jpeg) 2 step - In the second guitar track I record the solo hitting just the Arpeggio keys from Arpeggio 1 to Arpeggio 6 ![Arpeggios](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex012/uploads/scalermusic/original/2X/9/9503676cac5acd7e4f4cd185cb5ed70bfc9f3283.jpeg) The 2 Scaler instances have the same series of chord and are in sync, so the solo arpeggios are perfectly tuned with chords! 😀 There is one issue only: at the passage from a chord to another, the guitar sound ceases suddenly, and I think to remember this is a Scaler’s bug that will be possibly fixed in the next release, but I found that using the keyboard sustain-footswitch properly I can fill the gaps Have fun and let me know what do you think about
