Korg Speaker System Combination A003 Drum’n’Bass Kit, Make Arpeggiator Assign settings

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.

3In Combination P7: Edit-Arp., select the Setup tab.

4Set the ARPEGGIATOR [TEMPO] knob to specify the tempo.

This is the same as for a program (☞p.96). 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.

In the example shown in the illustration, arpeggia- tor A is will play timbres 1 and 2, and arpeggiator B will play timbre 3.

6Make “Arpeggiator Run” settings.

Check the arpeggiator(s) that you want to operate. The arpeggiator(s) checked here will run when the ARPEGGIATOR [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 tim- bres 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 “Arpeggiator Assign” are Off, or if neither “Arpeggiator Run” A or B is checked, the arpeggiator will not function.

7In the Arpeggiator A and Arpeggiator B tabs, set the parameters for arpeggiators A and B.

The parameters for A and B are the same as for a program (☞p.96).

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

The parameters for A and B are the same as for a program (☞p.97).

You can use keyboard ranges or playing velocity to operate the arpeggiator, or to switch between arpeg- giators A and B. By setting the Key Zone tab and Vel Zone tab parameters of Combination P4: Edit- Zone/Ctrl to set keyboard ranges and velocity ranges in conjunction with each other, you can cre- ate even more variations.

9If you wish to save the edited combination settings in internal memory, turn off memory protect in Global mode (☞p.37), and write the combination. (☞p.38).

0The “Status,” “MIDI Channel” and “Arpeggiator Assign” settings shown in the LCD screen of steps 2 and 3 can be made so that certain timbres will sound only when the arpeggiator is running, and will be silent when the arpeggiator is not running.

Although this is a somewhat sophisticated editing technique, we will describe the settings of one of the preset combinations as an example.

Combination A003: Drum’n’Bass Kit

Select combination A003: Drum’n’Bass Kit, and play it.

Before you play, make sure that the global MIDI chan- nel (Global P1: MIDI “MIDI Channel”) is set to 01.

•Arpeggiator A is assigned to T (timbre) 7 and 8. When you play the keyboard, only the T8 program B068: Drum’n’Bass Kit will be sounded by the U158 (A/B): Drum’n’Bass 6 arpeggio pattern.

•The arpeggio pattern will use the “Arpeggio Tone Mode” (Global P6: User Arpeggio, Pattern Setup tab) Fixed Note, as appropriate for a drum arpeggio performance. With this setting, the arpeggio pattern will always be played with the specified pitches, regardless of the note numbers played on the keyboard (☞p.127 in the Parameter Guide).

•The A “Top Key” and “Bottom Key” (Combination P7: Scan Zone tab) are set so that arpeggiator A will operate only for notes B3 and lower.

•Arpeggiator A is also assigned to T7, but this is so that the T8 program B068: Drum’n’Bass Kit will sound only when the arpeggiator is on.

Notice the timbre settings for T7 and T8

	Status	MIDI Channel	Arpeggiator Assign
T7	Off	Gch	A
T8	INT	02	A

•When the arpeggiator is off, playing the keyboard will sound timbres that are set to Gch or the global MIDI channel (in this example, 01). T8 will not sound since its “MIDI Channel” of 02. T7 will not sound since its “Status” is Off, even if T7 is set Gch.

•The arpeggiator will be operated by any MIDI channel assigned to a timbre. In this example, these are MIDI channels 02 and Gch (global MIDI
