Basic functions
RPPR playback
Here’s how you can use the RPPR function to perform
in the P0: Play/REC page. You can also playback a
song while you perform with the RPPR function.
1 In Sequencer mode, select P0: Play/REC.
2 Check the “RPPR” check box. The RPPR function
will be turned on. The on/off setting is memorized
for each song.
3 Play the keyboard, and patterns will begin playing
according to the RPPR settings.
Keys to which no pattern is assigned can be used
for normal keyboard performance. (When you
change “Track Select,” the track played by the key-
board will change.)
If you wish to trigger the RPPR function from an
external MIDI device, use the MIDI channel that is
selected for “Track Select.”
4 To turn off the RPPR function, uncheck the RPPR
check box.
RPPR performance techniques
• Pattern playback for a key with a “Sync” setting of
Beat or Measure will synchronize to the pattern
playback of the first key. (For details refer to
“Sync” on p.71 in the Parameter Guide.)
• Pattern playback for a key with a “Sync” setting of
SEQ will synchronize to the playback of the song.
Start song playback, and then press the key. The
pattern playback will start in synchronization with
the measures of the song.
Synchronization will be lost if you use the
[<<REW] or [FF>>] keys while a song is playing.
If you want RPPR pattern playback to begin at the
moment that song playback begins, it is a good
idea to insert an empty measure containing no
musical data before the song playback begins.
If the song is stopped, the pattern will synchronize
to the timing of the arpeggiator.
• If you are playing the pattern in synchronization
(when “Sync” is Beat, Measure, or SEQ), the
pattern will start accurately if you play the note
slightly earlier than the timing of the beat or
measure. Even if you play the note slightly later
than the beat or measure (but no later than a 32nd
note), it will be considered to have started at the
beat or measure, and the beginning of the pattern
will be compressed so that the remainder of the
playback will be correct.

mance
Multitrack recording
You can use multitrack recording to simultaneously
record the performance of multiple tracks played by
the RPPR function.
The pattern will be recorded as musical data on the
track used by RPPR.
RPPR settings for recording are made in the P6: Pat-
tern/RPPR tab RPPR Setup. Here if you set “Sync” to
SEQ
, the pattern playback will be recorded in synchro-
nization with the sequencer. For details on how the
“Sync” setting will affect the start timing of the pattern
playback (
☞ p.71 in the Parameter Guide).
With a setting of SEQ, patterns played by the RPPR
function while the sequencer is playing or recording
will start in synchronization with the measures of the
sequencer. The pattern of a key pressed during the pre-
count before recording begins will start simultaneously
with the beginning of recording, and will be recorded.
When recording the playback of patterns triggered
by RPPR, the timing of the recorded events may be
slightly skewed. If this occurs, try setting “Reso”
(Realtime Quantize Resolution) to a setting other
than Hi.
1 Using the procedure described in “Preparations
for recording” ( ☞ p.64), make the necessary set-
tings.
Your keyboard performance on keys that are not
assigned to the RPPR function will be recorded on
the track specified by “Track Select.”
2 In the P0: Play/REC tab Preference, set “Recording
Setup” to Over Write.
Multitrack recording can be used in Over Write,
Over Dub
, Manual Punch In, and Auto Punch In
recording modes . Here we will describe the proce-
dure for the most commonly used overwrite
recording.
3 Check the “Multi REC” check box.
4 Press the Program T01–08 or Program T09–16 tab.
The “PLAY/MUTE/REC” button of each track will
indicate REC. For the tracks that you do not wish
to record, press the “PLAY/MUTE/REC” button to
select either PLAY or MUTE.
You will record all tracks played by RPPR and the
keyboard performance track selected by “Track
Select.”
