Global Bar Fun

2005-10-28 by Paul Nagle

Hey gang, not been any tips for a while and I suspect a few new folks 
have joined lately. So I thought (to my stoned self), why not remind 
everyone how cool the global bar is?

This is a little demo based on a simple 16 step sequence that you hear 
at first. Listen to how it changes during the playback. This was done 
using consecutive part play (posh term for holding down all your parts) 
with each part having a global bar and repeats as follows:

Part1 Gbar 16 Repeats 4
Part2 Gbar 24 Repeats 3
part3 Gbar 6 Repeats 8
part4 Gbar 42 Repeats 2
part 5  Gbar 6 Repeats 4
part 6 Gbar 1 Repeats 8
Part7 Gbar 4 Repeats 4
Part8 Gbar 8 Repeats 4

OK, I faded in a couple of other tracks towards the end cos I couldn't 
help it... anyway, it's a simple little noodle but you can see that 
things can be quite varied nicely, just by playing with the dear old 
global bar.

Maybe a useful technique to liven things up now and again (if done 
subtly - i.e. not like this)? And better still, it takes no effort, 
requires no delving into aux events and can be set up interactively as 
you play.

Paul
