Arpeggiator settings in Combina- tion and Sequencer modes

In Combination, Sequencer and Song Play modes, the TRITON STUDIO provides dual arpeggiator functionality that lets you use two arpeggio patterns simultaneously. The settings in each of these modes are made in the simi- lar way.

As an example, the following explanation shows how to make settings in Combination mode. For a detailed expla- nation and example settings (☞PG p.45, 81, 129).

The dual arpeggiator functionality lets you do the follow- ing things.

• Assign an arpeggiator for each timbre. Choose from

Off, (arpeggiator) A, or (arpeggiator) B. ☞step5

•Independently specify whether A and B will operate. ☞step6

•Select an arpeggio pattern and set parameters

independently for A and B.☞step7

• 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.☞step8

• Make settings for timbres that will be silent when the arpeggiator is Off, and will sound only when the

arpeggiator is On. ☞step0

Arpeggiator on/off

Each time you press the ARPEGGIATOR [ON/OFF] key, the arpeggiator will be switched on or off. When on, the ARPEGGIATOR [ON/OFF] key LED will light. The selected arpeggio pattern will begin when you play the keyboard. The on/off setting is saved when the combina- tion is written into memory.

If “Assign” is Off or “Arpeggiator Run” is not checked, the arpeggiator will not operate even if this key is on.

Arpeggiator settings

1Select Combination P1: Edit-Program/Mixer page.

Select programs for the timbres that you wish to use. For this example, select any desired program for tim- bres 1–4.

2Select Combination P2: Edit-Trk Param, MIDI Ch 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 “MIDI Chan- nel”).

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.

3Select Combination P7: Edit-Arp., Setup page.

4Set “ (Temp)” to specify the tempo.

This is the same as for a program (☞p.130). However, the tempo is shared by both arpeggiators A and B.

5Make “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.

6Make “Arpeggiator Run” settings.

Check the arpeggiator(s) that you want to operate. The arpeggiator(s) checked here will run when the ARPEG- GIATOR [ON/OFF] key is turned on.

With the settings shown in the LCD screen for steps 2 and 3, turning the ARPEGGIATOR [ON/OFF] key on will cause arpeggiator A to operate for timbres 1 and 2, and arpeggiator B to operate for timbre 3. When the ARPEGGIATOR [ON/OFF] key is turned off, timbres 1–4 will sound as a layer.

If all timbres “Assign” are Off, or if “Arpeggiator Run” A or B is unchecked, the arpeggiator will not function.

7In 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 pro- gram (☞p.130).

8In the Scan Zone A/B page, specify the range in which arpeggiators A and B will operate.

The parameters for A and B are the same as for a pro- gram (☞p.130).

You can use keyboard ranges or playing velocity to operate the arpeggiator, or to switch between arpeggia- tors A and B. By using the Combination P4: Edit-Zone/ Ctrl, Key Zone page, and Vel Zone page to set key- board ranges and velocity ranges in conjunction with each other, you can create even more variations.

9If you wish to save the edited combination settings in internal memory, turn off memory protect in Global mode, and write the combination. (☞p.57).
