Creating a user arpeggio

pattern

About user arpeggio patterns

The patterns that can be selected on the KROSS’s

arpeggiator are called “arpeggio patterns.” There are two

types of arpeggio patterns: preset arpeggio patterns and user

arpeggio patterns.

Preset arpeggio patterns:

There are five patterns; UP, DOWN, ALT1, ALT2, and

RANDOM.

The functionality of these patterns is fixed, and cannot be

edited.

User arpeggio patterns:

There are 1280 patterns - 0000–1279 - which can develop

chords or phrases in a wide variety of ways, based on the

pitches that you play on the keyboard or the timing with

which you play them.

In Global ARP PATTERN, Setup you can modify these user

arpeggio patterns, or create a new user arpeggio pattern from

an initialized condition. Edited user arpeggio patterns can be

written to internal memory areas 0000–1279. (see page 124)

In Media mode, you can also save user arpeggio patterns to

media.

Editing a user arpeggio pattern

If you want to edit a user arpeggio pattern, you must

first make sure that memory protect is unchecked. (see

page 116)

If you enter this mode from the Program mode, your editing

will apply to the arpeggio pattern that’s specified for the

selected program.

1. In Program mode, select a program which uses the

arpeggio pattern that you wish to edit, or a program

that you wish to use as a basis for editing the arpeggio

pattern.

2. Press the ARP button to turn the arpeggiator on (the

button will light up).

Tip: Even if you entered Global/Media mode from a

program in which the arpeggiator was turned off, you can

use the ARP button to turn it on.

3. Select the Global ARP PATTERN> SETUP page.

Note: If you move from Program mode, arpeggiator “A”

will be automatically selected.

4. In “Pattern,” select the arpeggio pattern that you wish

to edit.

If a blank pattern is selected, playing the keyboard will

not start an arpeggio. Although preset arpeggio patterns

can be selected, they cannot be edited.

When you edit a user arpeggio pattern, the changes will

have an effect anytime that this pattern is used in

Program, Combination, or Song.

5. In “Length,” specify the length of the pattern.

After the pattern has played for the length specified, it

will return to the beginning. This setting can also be

changed during or after editing. For this example, set it to

08.

Note: For the preload arpeggio patterns 0000–1023, simply

changing the “Length” can significantly change the

character of the pattern. Try changing the length and

listening to the result.

6. Adjust settings for the “Resolution,” “Octave,”

“Sort,” “Latch,” “(Key) Sync.,” and “Kbd

(Keyboard)” parameters.

These are program parameters, but they can be set from

here as well.

If after accessing this page from Program mode, you

modify these parameters and wish to keep your

changes, return to Program mode and write the

program. These parameters are not saved by “Write

Arpeggio Pattern.”

For this example, select the settings shown in step 3.

7. In ARP PATTERN> MODE page, specify how the

arpeggio will be developed.

8. Access the ARP PATTERN> EDIT page.

A pattern consists of Steps and Tones.

• Step: Each user arpeggio pattern has up to 64 steps.

Starting with the first step, the arpeggiator will play

notes at intervals of the note value specified by the

Resolution. The vertical lines of the grid indicate the

steps.

• Ton e: Each step can sound a chord of up to 12 tones

(Tone N o. 00–11).

9. Enter one or more Tones at each Step. Use the cursor

buttons ◄►▲▼ to select the Step, and press the

ENTER button. The tone will alternate on/off each

time you press the button. In the illustration above,

Tone No.:04 and Step No.:05 are indicated.

10.Use Step to select the step; then specify the Pitch

(Pitch Offset), Gate, Vel (Velocity) and Flam for each

step. (Please see step 3 of “An example of creating a

pattern”)

During last night's gig, my Kross 2 started changing "Favorites" - one after the other - switching through the banks and sounds, while I was playing. What could cause that. It didn't do it all the time, just every now and then at random. Submitted on 4-9-2022 at 00:59
