A few newbie questions with the demo

Hi Cognitone!

I thought I'd ask a few questions since I am having trouble working things out from the manual.

Bit of background: I'm a melody instrument player looking to get some basic accompaniments sorted out so I can back myself playing traditional tunes (mainly old English, Irish, Celtic stuff). And generally with Drop-D or DADGAD tuning. I'd be using HN2 to sort the accompaniment out before then finalising the whole thing in e.g. Notion3 (via MIDI export).

I have two major questions: guitar accompaniment and bass line.

Guitar accompaniment:

So, I've worked out that DADGAD can be configured in HN2, so that's great for starters.

And I also managed to import the "A" part of a simple reel as a MIDI file and get HN2 to give me a possible harmonic progression. Sounded excellent!

But now I'm interested in getting some picking patterns set up. These patterns are both tonal – i.e a particular style of arpeggio is used – and rhythmic, i.e. a particular rhythm is used for accompanying the "jig", e.g. I'd like to start by entering some examples of picks/strums from DADGAD tutorials.

But I have no idea where I can start setting these up.

When I click on "Figure" in guitar there are some presets I'd like to edit. But I don't seem to be able to.

Or have I misunderstood something here?

Bass line:

Can other instruments be used in the Harmonizer? That is: can I set up a melody line and then add a bass instrument and get it to harmonize with the melody? Of course, once I have the chords I can manually work out the bass but automation would be great here.

I guess I'm asking if the harmonizer can effectively harmonize any instrument against another.

Hope that all makes sense and look forward to your answers!
