Anyone know the significance of Chords being entered in three specific keys in the templates provided. C, E & G.
Does the order of their arrangement, in the score, have any effect on the function of the Realtrack.

You can use ANY arrangement of chords to make a UserTrack, however, it is a good idea to record chord transitions that you will want to use often. For example:
| C | Am |
If you have recorded this, then your UserTrack can definitely play just C or just Am - but it can also play the transition of C to Am. And it will also be able to play any transposed version of the transition such as C# to A#m, D to Bm, etc.

You can pick how many keys you want, and how many songs you want. You should pick keys that you are best at, and that are keys that others will likely use.
For example, if its a blues guitar style, choose guitar keys, like E or G.
If its a boogie piano style, choose C or F.
These are guidelines, no absolutes.
Have Fun!

Peter, I thought I had read that the three keys helped to accommodate all possible keys, by recording in three keys that equally divide the octave. Then the Elastique algorithm can find a close pitch while minimizing artifacts. True? False?
Thanks!

That was my initial thought.

Since I wrote that, Peter described how it worked in more detail. Indeed, the program will try to find a chord closest in pitch. It seems to me that the more songs or chords you record in the folder, the more likely it finds one that requires less pitch stretching. I'll try to find his post.

Found it. Read this short thread started by Peter: User Tracks Video Tutorial with RealBand. Read Peter's last post especially. Apparently the answer to the question is No, we do not need to record in three keys, but it might help: www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=226693#Post227079
