5.2.6.2. Recording Chorded Arpeggios

Arpeggios and the Chord feature are a wonderful match. You can record chorded arpeggios

in real time in a sequence on the same track! Here's how to do it:

• Select a track (2,3 or 4) and set it to arpeggio mode

• Select an empty pattern in this track

• Set Mode to Poly ('Shift'+ Poly)

• Deselect Overdub so it is off

• Press 'Shift' and Tie/Rest (Chord) and hold a chord on the keyboard. Let go of

'Shift' and Tie/Rest and check whether the chord has been registered by playing

keys on the keyboard

• Start the Arpeggiator (press Play).

: The Arpeggiator will also arpeggiate without pressing 'Play', but if you want to record an arpeggio

in the sequencer, the Arpeggiator must advance through the steps.

• Press record, hold down a chord to start a chorded arpeggio

You'll see steps lighting up: each time the Arpeggiator advances, the current state of the

Arpeggiator is recorded in a step.

• Press Record to exit Recording mode

You can now edit the chorded arpeggio with some of the options you normally have in

sequencer mode. This is limited to Nudge>, Nudge< and Invert.

• Press Seq on the same track to activate the sequencer and record the arpeggio

in the sequencer.

Press Play to play the old arpeggio which has now become a sequence.

All 'Shift' edit options are available to further edit the sequence.
