KEY (Key Select)

[C#2...C8]

Indicates the key that you wish to edit. The following
parameters will apply to the key that you select here.
This can also be selected by holding down the [ENTER] key
and playing a note on the keyboard.

Assign

[Off, On]

On (checked):

When you play the key specified by “KEY,”

the pattern selected in “Pat (Pattern Bank),” “Pattern Select”
will be triggered.
Off (unchecked):

That key will sound the currently selected

track at the corresponding pitch, just as in normal Sequencer
mode.

Pattern (Pattern Bank)

[Pre, User]

Pattern Select

[P000...149, U00...99]

Indicates the RPPR pattern for the key selected in “KEY.” If
the selected user pattern contains no musical data, there will
be no sound when you press that key.

Track

[T01...T16: name]

Indicates the track that will be used for the RPPR pattern
selected for the “KEY.” When you play the key, the pattern
will be played according to the settings of the track you
select here. Track settings are made in 1.1: Play/REC, 4.4:
MIDI Filter 4. When you record in real-time with the RPPN
function turned on, the data will be recorded on the track
you select here. (

For the recording procedure, refer to BG

p.72)

M (Mode)

[Once, Manual, Endless]

Specifies how the pattern of the specified “KEY” will be
played.

Once:

When you press the key, the pattern will playback

only once to the end.
Manual:

The pattern will continue repeating as long as you

continue holding the key, and will stop when you release the
key.
Endless:

The pattern will continue repeating even after you

release the key. To stop the pattern playback, press any note
below C2, or press the same key once again.

Shift

[–12...+12]

Adjust the playback pitch of the pattern for the specified
“KEY” in semitone steps over a range of

±1 octave. With a

setting of 0, the pattern will be played at its original pitch.

Sync

[Off, Beat, Measure, SEQ]

Specifies how the pattern playback will be synchronized
when you press the specified “KEY.”

Off:

The pattern will begin playing at the moment you press

the note.
Beat:

The pattern will synchronize to the beats of the pattern

that was started by the first key (i.e., the first note-on that
occurs from a condition where no notes of the keyboard are
pressed). This setting is suitable when you wish to play
phrase patterns in unison.
Measure:

The pattern will synchronize to the measures of

the pattern that was started by the first key. This setting is
suitable for rhythm, bass or drum patterns.
SEQ:

The pattern will synchronize to the measures of the

sequencer song.

• When Beat or Measure are selected, pattern playback

will begin when you press the first key. The second and
subsequent patterns that are triggered from the
keyboard will synchronize to the pattern that was
started by the first key; with a setting of Beat they will
synchronize in steps of a beat, and with a setting of
Measure

they will synchronize in steps of a measure.

• When SEQ is selected, the pattern will playback in

synchronization with the measures of the sequencer
song. The pattern will synchronize with the currently-
playing song, so you must start the song before you
play notes on the keyboard.

Beat, Measure, and SEQ will cause the pattern to start

immediately if you play the key within a thirty-second
note of the timing of the respective beat or measure, but
if you play the key later than this, the start of the pattern
will be delayed by a beat.

Stopping playback of a RPPR pattern
By pressing C2 or any lower note, all the patterns being
played by RPPR will stop.
The patterns of keys whose “Sync” setting is Off will stop
immediately, but the playback of other keys will stop at the
beginning of the next beat or measure. Pattern playback of
keys whose “Sync” setting is other than Off can be stopped
immediately by rapidly pressing C2 or any lower note twice
in succession.
