Call up some of the Performances in User Banks 1 – 3, and
play some of the Arpeggios assigned by default to the
Performances. In the Performance mode, each of four
Arpeggio types is assigned to each of four Parts. This
means up to four Arpeggio types can be played back
simultaneously. Let’s play the Performance making full use
of this function.
1Make sure that the [ARPEGGIO ON/OFF]
button is lit, then play any note to trigger
Arpeggio playback.
Steps 2 – 4 are same as in “Arpeggio playback in the Voice
mode” above. Once you’ve tried out the Arpeggio Types
assigned to the Performance, go on and try some of the
other Arpeggio Types available.
5During Arpeggio playback, press the [F4]
button to call up the Arpeggio display then
select an Arpeggio type for each Part.
For best results, you should select a Category and Sub
Category containing Arpeggio Types that most closely
match the Voice for the Part. Once you find an
Arpeggio Type that fits, keep it in the display settings
and store the Performance (below).
6Store the Arpeggio settings as a User
Performance.
For detailed instructions on storing a Performance, see
page 142.
You can record your keyboard performance to a Song/
Pattern in the Performance Record mode. Keep in mind
that any Arpeggio playback you trigger in the Performance
mode can be recorded to the Song or Pattern as well. For
details about the Performance recording, see page 140.
nThe Arpeggio playback data is recorded to the Song or
Pattern track as MIDI sequence data. Note that pressing the
note only triggers the Arpeggio playback. The Song or Pattern
data will not trigger the Arpeggio playback.
Arpeggios are also useful for creating Phrases, which can
be used as the basic building blocks in making a Pattern.
Create User Phrases as desired then assign them to the
desired track in the Patch display (page 212).
This section shows how to record a Arpeggio playback to a
Pattern track.
1Select an Arpeggio type in the Arpeggio
display (page 219) of the Pattern Record mode.
When the Arpeggio With Voice Switch parameter is set
to “on,” the Voice appropriate for this Arpeggio type is
automatically selected.
2Record playback of the selected Arpeggio to
the Pattern track.
Record different Arpeggios to other tracks by repeating
steps 1 – 2. It is a good idea to assign a name to the
created Phrase in the Pattern Patch display (page 212) for
future recall.
3Create Pattern data by assigning the created
Phrases to the Section in the Pattern Patch
display (page 212).
For example, create a Section A for the intro, a Section
B for the verse, a Section C for the chorus, and a
Section D for the ending—and you have the basic
blocks to build an original Song.
4Create the Pattern Chain data by programming
the playback order of the Sections.
Pattern Chain allows you to string several different
Patterns together to make a single Song. For details,
see page 213.
5Convert the Pattern Chain data to Song data.
For details, see page 215.
Creating an original Arpeggio type
In addition using the preset Arpeggios, you can also create
your own original Arpeggio data. The procedure is as
follows.
1Record the MIDI sequence data to a Song or
Pattern.
Up to four tracks can be used in creating an Arpeggio.
Up to 16 unique note numbers can be recorded to the
Arpeggio track. If more than 16 different note numbers
have been recorded to the MIDI sequence data, the
Convert operation automatically reduces the notes in
excess of the limit. Because of this, be careful to record
only up to 16 different notes when you create an
Arpeggio.
2Convert the recorded MIDI sequence data to
Arpeggio data.
Use the “Put Track to Arpeggio” Job in the Song Job
mode (page 206) or the Pattern Job mode (page 227).
After setting the related parameters, press the [ENTER]
button to execute the Job.
The created Arpeggio types can be selected from the
User bank in the Arpeggio display.
