KORG MICROX X50 - Manual (Page 55)

48
In this case, the arpeggiator can be triggered (operated)
by any MIDI channel specified for the “MIDI Channel”
parameter of any timbre 1–8 assigned to arpeggiator A
or B.
If Local Control (“Local Control On,” GLOBAL 1–1a) is
Off, the keyboard will not trigger the arpeggiator. The
arpeggiator will be triggered via MIDI IN. Turn Local
Control OFF if you have recorded only the trigger notes
on an external sequencer, and wish to playback the
external sequencer to trigger the X50/microX’s arpeg-
giator.
If you want the note data generated by the arpeggiator
to be recorded on the external sequencer, turn the X50/
microX’s Local Control ON, and turn off the echo back
function on your external sequencer.
You can control the arpeggiator from an external
sequencer, or use an external sequencer to record arpeg-
gio note data. (

Example 1)
Set the “MIDI Channel” (2–1a) of timbres 1 and 2 to Gch,
and set “Status” (2–1a) to INT. Assign arpeggiator A to
timbre 1 and arpeggiator B to timbre 2, and check
“Arpeggiator Run A, B” (0–4a/5a, 7–1a).
• When the front panel [ARP ON/OFF] button is off,
timbres 1 and 2 will sound simultaneously (layered)
when you play the keyboard.
• When the front panel [ARP ON/OFF] button is turned
on, timbre 1 will be played by arpeggiator A, and timbre
2 will be played by arpeggiator B.
Example 2)
The “MIDI Channel” (2–1a) of timbres 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are
set respectively to Gch, Gch, 02, Gch, and 03. Their “Sta-
tus” (2–1a) is set respectively to INT, Off, INT, Off, and
INT
. Assign arpeggiator A to timbres 2 and 3, assign
arpeggiator B to timbres 4 and 5, and check “Arpeggiator
Run A, B” (0–4a/5a, 7–1a).
• When the front panel [ARP ON/OFF] button is off,
playing the keyboard will sound only timbre 1. (Timbres
2 and 4 are receiving the Gch, but they will not sound
since their “Status” is Off.)
• When you turn on the front panel [ARP ON/OFF]
button, arpeggiator A will operate for timbres 2 and 3,
and arpeggiator B will operate independently for
timbres 4 and 5. (Arpeggiators A and B are triggered by
receiving note data on any MIDI channel of an assigned
timbre, but in this example they are being triggered from
the Gch.)
When you play the keyboard, arpeggiator A will operate
for timbres 2 and 3, but only timbre 3 whose “Status” is
INT
will sound. Similarly, arpeggiator B will operate for
timbres 4 and 5, but only timbre 5 whose “Status” is INT
will sound.
In this way, you can make settings so that a timbre does
not sound when the arpeggiator is off, but sounds only
when the arpeggiator is on.
