10. The “Status,” “MIDI Channel” and “Assign”
settings shown in the display of steps 2 and 3
can be made so that certain timbres will sound
only when the arpeggiator is On, and will be
silent when the arpeggiator is not Off.
Setting examples
Although this is a somewhat sophisticated editing
technique, we will describe the settings of one of
the preset combinations as an example.
Combination A021: Urban Nature RnB
Select combination A021: Urban Nature RnB, and
play it.
Before you play, make sure that the global MIDI
channel (GLOBAL 1: MIDI “MIDI Channel”) is set
to 01.
• Arpeggiator A is assigned to T (timbre) 4 and 5.
When you play the keyboard, the arpeggio pat-
tern Dr-Nature RnB will sound only the T4
program B004: Trance/GarageKit.
• The arpeggio pattern uses the Fixed Note set-
ting, which is appropriate when playing a drum
arpeggio. (“Fixed Note” is checked in, GLO-
BAL 5: Arp.Pattern, Setup page.) With this set-
ting, the arpeggio pattern will always play the
specified pitches regardless of the note numbers
received from the keyboard. (
☞p.102)
• The A “Key Btm” and “Key Top” (COMBI 7:
Ed–Arp/Ctrls, Scan Zone page) are set so that
arpeggiator A will operate only for notes B3
and lower.
• Arpeggiator A is also assigned to T5, but this is
so that the T4 program B004: Trance/GarageKit
will sound only when the arpeggiator is on.
Notice the timbre settings for T4 and T5
• If the arpeggiator is off, playing the keyboard
will sound the timbre(s) that are set to Gch or
to the global MIDI channel (in this case, 01).
Since the “MIDI Channel” of T4 is set to 02, it
will not sound. T5 is set to Gch, but since “Sta-
tus” is Off it will not sound.
• Any MIDI channel that is assigned to a timbre
will trigger the arpeggiator. In this case, these
will be “MIDI Channel” 02 and Gch (global
MIDI channel). When the arpeggiator is on,
playing the keyboard will trigger arpeggiator A
which is assigned to T5 (Gch). T4 will be
sounded by arpeggiator A. Since the “Status”
of T5 is Off, it will not sound.
• Since the “Status” of T5 is Off, it will not
sound, regardless of whether the arpeggiator is
on or off. It is a dummy timbre that causes T4 to
sound only when the arpeggiator is on.
Combination B071: “In The Pocket”
Select and play combination B071: “In The
Pocket.”
Before you play, make sure that the global MIDI
channel (GLOBAL 1: MIDI “MIDI Channel”) is set
to 01.
• Arpeggiator A is assigned to T7 and T8, and
arpeggiator B is assigned to T5. When you play
the keyboard, the T7 program C004: HipHop
Kit
will be sounded by the arpeggio pattern
Dr-In The Pocket . The T5 program A066:
Chord Trigger will be sounded by the arpeggio
pattern Bs-Echo.
• The B “Key Btm” and “Key Top” (COMBI 7:
Ed–Arp/Ctrls, Scan Zone page) are set so that
arpeggiators B will operate only for the G3
note and above.
• Arpeggiator B is assigned to T8 as well, but this
setting is so that the T7 program C004: HipHop
Kit
will sound only when the arpeggiator is on.
See the preceding section “Combination A021:
Urban Nature RnB” (
☞p.98).
Writing the arpeggiator settings
Arpeggio parameters you edited in Combination
or Multi mode are saved along with the settings
when you write the combination or multi set. For
the writing procedure, see “Saving your edits”
(
☞p.61) for a combination, or to “Saving your
edits” (
☞p.75) for a multi set.
Linking the arpeggiator to the com-
bination
If you want the arpeggiator settings of a combina-
tion to become active when that combination is
selected, check “Combi” for “Auto Arp” (GLO-
BAL 0: System, Basic page).
