Using the arpeggiator while you play Arpeggiator settings in Combination and Sequencer modes
89
Arpeggiator-A, Arpeggiator-B
For each arpeggiator A and B, you can adjust settings
for Pattern (Select), Resolution, Octave, Sort, Latch,
Key Sync, and Keyboard (see page 86).
Checking the structure of a user arpeggio
pattern
Let’s see how the combination “A005: Boom Pow Pad”
(category: LeadSplits) is constructed.
• Select combination “A005: Boom Pow Pad”
(category: LeadSplits), and look at the Arpeggio
Play A page and Arpeggio Play B page.
• In “Timbre Assign” you’ll see that arpeggiator A is
assigned to timbres 1–5, and arpeggiator B is
assigned to timbres 6 and 7.
When you play the keyboard, the drum programs of
timbres 1–4 will be sounded by the arpeggio pattern
of arpeggiator A. (Timbre 5 is a dummy program
used to play timbres 1–4. See page 91.)
Arpeggiator B will sound the programs of timbres 6
and 7.
• If you uncheck Arpeggiator Run A or Arpeggiator
Run B, it will stop.
If you check it once again and play the keyboard,
that arpeggiator will begin running.
• When you access the Combi P7: ARP/DT– ARP
Scan Zone page, you’ll see that the B “Top Key”
and “Bottom Key” parameters are set so that
arpeggiator B will run only for the notes B3 and
below. Arpeggiator A is set to run for any key.
• The drum programs of timbres 1–4 use the same
arpeggiator A pattern, but since the notes sounded
by each timbre are divided by key zone, each will
play only a portion of the arpeggiator pattern. Go to
the P0: Play–Program T01–08 page and try muting
each timbre 1–4 to hear the result. You can add
variety by using different combinations of timbres.
Arpeggiator settings in
Combination and Sequencer
modes
In Combination and Sequencer modes, you can use use
two arpeggio patterns simultaneously, thanks to the
KROME’s dual arpeggiator functionality. The settings
in each of these modes are adjusted in a similar way.
The following example shows how to adjust settings in
Combination mode.
The dual arpeggiator functionality lets you do the
following things.
• Assign an arpeggiator for each timbre. Choose from
Off, (arpeggiator) A, or (arpeggiator) B.
☞step 5
• Independently specify whether A and B will
function. ☞step 6
• Select an arpeggio pattern and set parameters
independently for A and B. ☞step 7
• Make Scan Zone page settings so that you can use
keyboard range or playing velocity to switch
between normal playing and arpeggiated playing,
or to switch between arpeggiators A and B.
☞step 8
• Make settings for timbres that will be silent when
the arpeggiator is Off, and will sound only when
the arpeggiator is On.
