Basic functions
The note timing of the arpeggiator will depend on the
setting of its “Key Sync.” check box.
If this is checked, the arpeggiator will operate at the
timing that you play the first note-on after having
released all notes.
If this is unchecked, the arpeggiator will synchronize
to the timing of the internal/external MIDI clock.
The following paragraphs explain how synchroniza-
tion occurs when the “Key Sync.” check box is not
checked
.
Arpeggiator and sequencer synchronization
in Sequencer or Song Play mode
When MIDI Clock (Global P1: MIDI “MIDI Clock”) is
set to “ ” EXT in Sequencer mode, the arpeggiator
will synchronize to the external MIDI sequencer etc.
connected via a MIDI cable.
In Song Play mode, it is not possible to synchronize to
an external MIDI clock.
When the song is stopped:
• The arpeggiator will synchronize to the “ ” based
on the timing of the internal/external MIDI clock.
• When a Sequencer mode RPPR pattern is playing,
the arpeggiator will synchronize to the “ ” based
on that timing.
When the song is playing or recording:
• The arpeggiator will synchronize to the “ ” based
on the timing of the song.
• In Sequencer mode when the ARPEGGIATOR
[ON/OFF] key is on, and you press a note during
the pre-count before recording to start up the
arpeggiator, the arpeggiator will start from the
beginning of the pattern simultaneously with the
start of recording, and will be recorded.
Synchronization with song start
• When the arpeggiator is on (ARPEGGIATOR [ON/
OFF] key is set to on) and is running, an incoming
Song Start message will cause the arpeggiator to
reset to the beginning of the pattern.
Synchronization with an external sequencer
in Program or Combination mode
When MIDI Clock (Global P1: MIDI “MIDI Clock”) is
set to “ ” EXT in Program or Combination modes, the
arpeggiator will synchronize to MIDI Clock or Start
messages etc. received from an external MIDI
sequencer etc. connected via a MIDI cable.
Synchronization with external MIDI clock
• The arpeggiator will synchronize to the “ ” based
on the timing of the external MIDI clock.
Synchronization with song start
• If the arpeggiator is on and running, receiving a
song start will reset the arpeggiator to the
beginning of the pattern.
Synchronizing arpeggiators A and B
In Combination, Sequencer, or Song Play modes, the
two arpeggiators can be operated simultaneously. At
this time if one arpeggiator is running and the other
arpeggiator (whose “Key Sync.” is not checked) is
started, the second arpeggiator will synchronize to the
“ ” based on the timing of the first arpeggiator.
If “Key Sync.” is checked, arpeggiators A and B
will operate with independent timing.
