If “Fixed Note Mode” is set to Trigger All Tones,
playing a single note on the keyboard will cause the
rhythm pattern to play.
If “Fixed Note Mode” is set to Trigger As Played,
playing a single note on the keyboard will cause
only the kick (Tone00) to play. Playing two notes on
the keyboard will cause only the kick (Tone00) and
snare (Tone01) to play. In this way, the number of
keys that you play will be played by the same num-
ber of tones.
5 Set the parameters for each step.
Use “Velocity” etc. to add accents to the rhythm pat-
tern.
The “Gate” and “Velocity” settings you make here
will be valid if the “Gate” and “Velocity” parame-
ters (Program P7: Edit-Arpeggiator, Arpeg. Setup
tab) of the program selected in Program mode are
set to Step. If these parameters have a setting other
than Step, the “Gate” and “Velocity” that were
specified for each individual step will be ignored,
and all notes of the arpeggio will sound according
to the specified gate and velocity.
Set the ARPEGGIATOR [GATE] and [VELOCITY]
knobs to the center position (12 o’clock).
Dual arpeggiator editing
Here we will use a combination as an example in our
explanation.
For details on how the arpeggiator operates differently
in Sequencer and Song Play modes than in Combina-
tion mode, refer to the following section “note.”
If you have moved from Combination mode, the
arpeggio pattern selected by the combination will be
affected by your editing.
1 In Combination mode, select a combination that
uses the arpeggio pattern you wish to edit.
For this example, select a combination to which
arpeggiators A and B is assigned.
2 Press the ARPEGGIATOR [ON/OFF] key to turn
on the arpeggiator (the LED will light).
Even if the arpeggiator had been turned off when
you moved here, you can use the ARPEGGIATOR
[ON/OFF] key to turn it on. However, if “Arpeggia-
tor Run” A or B are not checked, and if no timbres
have been assigned in “Arpeggiator Assign,” then
the arpeggiator will not operate.
3 In Global P6: User Arpeggio, select the Pattern
Setup tab.
4 If you moved here from Combination mode, use
the “Arpeggiator Select” radio buttons A and B to
select the arpeggiator that you wish to edit.
If this is A, your editing will apply to the parame-
ters and user arpeggio pattern of arpeggiator A.
If this is B, your editing will apply to the parameters
and user arpeggio pattern of arpeggiator B.
5 Switch between arpeggiators A and B, and edit
their respective user arpeggio patterns.
If you wish to stop one of the arpeggiators, return to
Combination mode, and in P0: Play, select the
Arpeggio Play tab and uncheck the “Arpeggiator
Run” check box.
6 To modify the name of a user arpeggio pattern, use
the page menu command “Rename Arpeggio Pat-
tern” (
☞ p.38).
7 If you wish to save the edited user arpeggio pat-
tern in internal memory, you must write the user
arpeggio pattern.
In this case, both user arpeggio patterns will be
written simultaneously. If you turn off the power
without writing, the edited contents will be lost
(
☞ p.39).
8 If you wish to save the state of the combination at
the same time, return to Combination mode and
write the combination (
☞ p.38).
You can edit a user arpeggio pattern in Sequencer
and Song Play modes in the same way as in Com-
bination mode.
However, when you play the keyboard in Global
mode, the program and arpeggiator of tracks that
match the global MIDI channel (set in Global P1:
MIDI) will be heard.
For example, suppose that you assign track 1 to
MIDI channel 01 and arpeggiator A, and assign
track 2 to MIDI channel 02 and arpeggiator B.
(MIDI channel is set in Sequencer mode P2: Trk
Param by MIDI Ch1–8, 9–16, and is fixed in Song
Play mode.)
Use “Track Select” to select the track that you wish
to play from the keyboard. If you select track 1,
you will be able to play arpeggiator A. If you select
track 2, you will be able to play arpeggiator B. If in
this state you move to Global mode, arpeggiator A
(track 1) will be played if the global MIDI channel
is 01, or arpeggiator B (track 2) will be played if the
global MIDI channel is 02.
When editing a user arpeggio pattern, pay atten-
tion to the global MIDI channel, the channel of
each track, and the arpeggiator assignments, and
make sure that the arpeggiator you are hearing is
the pattern that you wish to edit.
If you moved here from Sampling mode, the
arpeggiator will not turn on. Nor will it be possible
to edit arpeggio patterns.
