Korg music workstation, sampler Realtime-recording an Rppr performance, Do not check Key Sync

If you want RPPR pattern playback to begin at the moment that song playback begins, it is a good idea to insert an empty measure containing no musical data before the song playback begins.

If the song is stopped, the pattern will synchronize to the timing of the arpeggiator function.

Realtime-recording an RPPR performance

An RPPR performance can be recorded in realtime. If you are using only one track (Track01: Drums) as in “Creating and recording RPPR” (☞p.92), set “Track Select” to Track01: Drums, and use single track recording in which only one track will be recorded.

Even if RPPR uses only one track, use multi-track record- ing if you will be selecting another track in “Track Select” and recording its performance at the same time.

You should also select multi-track recording if you created the RPPR data using multiple tracks rather than just a sin- gle track, and want to simultaneously record the perfor- mance of multiple tracks.

The RPPR pattern will be recorded as performance data on the tracks used by the pattern.

Here we will explain how you can simultaneously record a performance that uses both RPPR and the arpeggiator.

1For each RPPR pattern, set “Sync” to SEQ.

With a setting of SEQ, patterns played by the RPPR function while the sequencer is playing or recording will start in synchronization with the measures of the sequencer.

2We will use the arpeggiator to play the bass pattern. Follow these settings.

Set “Track Select” to Track02: Bass.

Select the Sequencer P7: Arpeggiator, Setup T01–08 page, and set the track 2 “Arpeggiator Assign” to A. (Make sure that A is checked for “Arpeggiator Run.”)

94

Select the Sequencer P7: Arpeggiator, Arpeggiator A page, and set “Pattern” to U038 (I-A/B).

Set “Gate” and “Velocity” to Step.

Do not check “Key Sync.”

Press the ARPEGGIATOR [ON/OFF] key. (The LED will light.)

3In the Sequencer P0: Play/REC, Preference page, check the “Multi REC” check box.

If “Recording Mode” is set to Loop All Tracks,” it will

not be possible to select Multi REC. Set the “Recording Mode” to Over Write.

4Select the P0: Play/REC, Program T01–08 page.

For all tracks, the “PLAY/MUTE/REC” indication will show REC.

The track played by RPPR will be recorded simulta- neously with the track played by the arpeggiator. Set “PLAY/MUTE/REC” to PLAY or MUTE for all tracks other than tracks 1 and 2, which we will be recording.

Make sure that “Track Select” is set to Track02: Bass. Your keyboard playing on keys not assigned to the RPPR function can be recorded on the track specified by “Track Select.”

5Make sure that the “RPPR” check box is checked.

6Press the [LOCATE] key to set the location to 001:01.000.

7Press the SEQUENCER [REC/WRITE] key, and then press the SEQUENCER [START/STOP] key.

Press a key that plays an RPPR pattern, and one or more keys that play the arpeggiator.
