Korg Electric Keyboard manual 2a Track Select Tempo, 2b Rppr Setup

5.1–2: RPPR Setup

Here you can make settings for the RPPR (Real-time Pattern Play/Recording) function. RPPR lets you assign a pattern from a song to each key, and then playback patterns simply by pressing individual notes on the keyboard. The results can also be recorded.

For each song, you can assign either a preset pattern or a user pattern to each of the seventy two keys in the range C#2–C8. For each key, you can specify the pattern, track number, and how the pattern will be played.

The arpeggiator is not operated by patterns played back by RPPR. When RPPR is on, keys for which no pattern is assigned will sound the track selected by “Track Select.” At this time, the arpeggiator will operate if either arpeggiator A or B is selected for that track and turned on. RPPR will not be triggered by notes gener- ated by the arpeggiator.

When Local Control is OFF (“Local Control On” GLO- BAL 2.1–1a), the keyboard will not trigger RPPR pat- tern playback. Notes received at MIDI IN on the channel of the track currently selected by “Track Select” will trigger patterns. If you have recorded only the trig- ger notes on an external sequencer and wish to play- back the external sequencer to trigger RPPR patterns on this instrument, set Local Control OFF.

If you want the note data generated by RPPR to be recorded on the external sequencer, set Local Control ON, and turn off the echo back function of the external sequencer.

In the RPPR Setup page, RPPR is turned on automati- cally. This will be the same result as when the RPPR check box (1.1–1c) in each page is checked.

The key 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]

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. (☞ BG p.74)

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.

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.
