Arpeggiator settings
1. Select Combi P0: Play– Program T01–08 page.
Select programs for the timbres that you wish to use.
For this example, select any desired program for
timbres 1–4.
2. Select Combi P3: Timbre Parameters, MIDI T01–08
page.
For the timbres that you will be using, set Status to
INT, and set MIDI Channel to Gch or to the global
MIDI channel (set in Global P1: MIDI Basic MIDI
Channel).
For this example, set timbres 1–4 to a Status of INT,
and timbres 5–8 to a Status of Off. Set the MIDI
Channel of timbres 1–4 to Gch.
3. Select Combi P7: ARP/DT– ARP Setup T01–08
page.
4. Set “ (Temp)” to specify the tempo.
This is the same as for a program. However, the tempo
is shared by both arpeggiators A and B.
5. Make “Arpeggiator Assign” settings.
Assign arpeggiator A or B to the desired timbres. Each
timbre will be played by the arpeggiator that has been
assigned to it.
6. Make “Arpeggiator Run” settings.
Check the arpeggiator(s) that you want to run. The
arpeggiator(s) checked here will run when the ARP
button is turned on.
With the settings shown in the display for steps 2 and
3, turning the ARP button on will cause arpeggiator A
to run for timbres 1 and 2, and arpeggiator B to run for
timbre 3. When the ARP button is turned off, timbres
1–4 will sound as a layer.
If all timbres Assign status are set to Off, or if
Arpeggiator Run A or B is unchecked, the arpeggiator
will not function.
7. On the Arpeggiator A and Arpeggiator B pages, set
the parameters for arpeggiators A and B.
The parameters for A and B are the same as for a
program (see page 86).
8. In the Scan Zone A/B page, specify the range in
which arpeggiators A and B will function.
The parameters for A and B are the same as for a
program.
You can use keyboard ranges or velocity ranges to use
one or both of the arpeggiators, or to switch between
arpeggiators A and B. By using the Combi P4: Zone/
Delay– Key Zone T01–08 – T09–16 page, and Vel Zone
T01–08 – T09–16 page to set keyboard and velocity
ranges in conjunction with each other, you can create
even more variations.
9. If you wish to save the edited combination
settings in internal memory, turn off memory
protect in Global mode, and write the combination
(see page 115 and page 117).
10. The “Status,” “MIDI Channel” and “Assign”
settings shown in the display of steps 2 and 3 can
be made so that certain timbres will sound only
when the arpeggiator is On, and will be silent
when the arpeggiator is Off.
Combination A001: Bossa Rose (SW1/2)
(Category: Keyboard)
Although this is a somewhat sophisticated editing
technique, we will describe the settings of one of the
preset combinations as an example.
When you play a specific region of the keyboard, this
combines settings that cause the arpeggiator to play an
arpeggio using different sounds than whatʹs being
played by the keyboard, with other settings that cause
the arpeggiator sounds to remain completely unplayed
when the arpeggiator is off.
Before you play, make sure that the global MIDI
channel (Global P1: MIDI Basic MIDI Channel) is set
to 01.
Select combination A001: Bossa Rose (SW1/2), turn the
ARP button on, and play.
• Arpeggiator A is assigned to timbre 2 and 16. When
you play the keyboard, the bass riff arpeggio
pattern will sound the timbre 2 program.
• The A Bottom Key and Top Key (Combi P7: ARP/
DT– ARP Scan Zone page) are set so that
arpeggiator A will function only for notes B3 and
lower.
• Arpeggiator A is also assigned to timbre 16, but this
is so that the timbre 2 program will sound only
when the arpeggiator is on.
Notice the timbre settings for timbre 2 and 16.
• If the arpeggiator is off, playing the keyboard will
sound the timbre(s) that are set to Gch or to the
global MIDI channel (in this case, 01). Since the
MIDI Channel of timbre 2 is set to 02, it will not
sound. Timbre 16 is set to Gch, but since “Status” is
Off it will not sound.
