Korg music workstation/sampler

•Tone: At each step, a chord consisting of up to 12 tones

(Tone No. 00–11) can be sounded.

To input tones, select “Step No.” and then use numeric

keys [0]–[9], [–], and [./10’s HOLD] to input tones. The

“Tone No.” corresponds to the [0]–[9], [–], and [./10’s

HOLD] keys as shown below. Each time you press a

[0]–[9], [–], or [./HOLD] key, the corresponding tone

will be turned on/off. The horizontal lines of the grid

shown in the center of the LCD screen indicate the

tones.

Tone00–09: [0]–[9] keys

Tone10: [–] key

Tone11: [./10’s HOLD] key

Creating an example

pattern

1Set “Step No.” to 01, and press the [0] key.

2Set “Step No.” to 02, and press the [1] key.

3Set “Step No.” to 03, and press the [2] key.

4Set “Step No.” to 04, and press the [1] key.

5Set “Step No.” to 05, and press the [3] key.

6Set “Step No.” to 06, and press the [1] key.

7Set “Step No.” to 07, and press the [2] key.

8Set “Step No.” to 08, and press the [1] key.

9When you play the keyboard as shown in the illustra-

tion, the arpeggiator will begin playing.

Tone 0 corresponds to the pitch of the lowest key of

chord you play on the keyboard. (If “Sort” is

unchecked, it will correspond to the pitch of the ﬁrst

note you play.)

0For steps 01–08, make settings for “Pitch Offset,”

“Gate,” “Velocity,” and “Flam.”

“Pitch Offset”: This offsets the pitch of the arpeggio

note in semitones up or down. You can input the same

tone for each step, and change the “Pitch Offset” value

for each to create a melody using a single tone.

(☞“Melody pattern”)

“Gate”: Speciﬁes the length of the arpeggio note for

each step. With a setting of Legato, the note will con-

tinue sounding either until the next note of the same

tone or until the end of the pattern. With a setting of

Off, the note will not sound.

“Velocity”: Speciﬁes the strength of the note. With a

setting of Key, the note will sound at the strength with

which it was actually played.

The “Gate” and “Velocity” settings you make here

will be valid if the “Gate” and “Velocity” parameters

(Program P7: Edit-Arpeggiator, Arpeg. Setup page) of

the program selected in Program mode are set to

Step. If these parameters have a setting other than

Step, the “Gate” and “Velocity” that were speciﬁed

for each individual step will be ignored, and all notes

of the arpeggio will sound according to the settings in

Program P7: Edit-Arpeggiator. Be sure to verify the

settings of the program.

Set the “Gate” and “Velocity” by using the ARPEG-

GIATOR [GATE] and [VELOCITY] knobs to the cen-

ter position (12 o’clock).

ATo change the user arpeggio pattern name, use the

“Rename Arpeggio Pattern” page menu command.

(☞p.115)

BIf you wish to save the edited user arpeggio pattern to

internal memory, be sure to Write the user arpeggio

pattern. (☞p.116)

If you turn off the power without writing, the edited

contents will be lost.

CIf you wish to save the state of the program at the

same time, return to Program mode and write the pro-

gram. (☞p.114)
