Korg Speaker System owner manual Creating an example pattern, Arpeggiator settings Basic functions

3In Global P6: User Arpeggio, select the Pattern Setup tab.

4If you moved here from Program mode, A will automatically be selected for “Arpeggiator Select.”

5In “Pattern,” select the arpeggio pattern that you wish to edit.

For this example, select an empty user arpeggio pattern.

If you have moved from Program mode, the arpeg- gio pattern selected by the program will be dis- played.

If a blank pattern is selected, playing the keyboard will not start an arpeggio. Although preset arpeg- gio patterns P000–P004can be selected, they can- not be edited.

When you edit a user arpeggio pattern, the changes will have an effect anytime that this pat- tern is used in Program, Combination, Sequencer, or Song Play mode.

6In “Length,” specify the length of the pattern.

After the pattern has played for the length specified here at the note interval specified by “Resolution,” it will return to the beginning. This setting can also be changed during or after editing. For this example, set it to 8.

For the preset arpeggio patterns U000(A/B)– U199(A/B), simply changing the “Length” can sig- nificantly change the character of the pattern. Try changing the length and listening to the result.

7Make settings for the “ ,” “Octave,” “Resolution,” “Sort,” “Latch,” “KeySync.,” and “Keyboard” parameters.

These are program parameters, but can be set from here as well.

If after moving here from Program mode, you mod- ify these parameters and wish to keep your changes, return to Program mode and write the program.

These parameters are not saved by “Write Arpeggio Pattern.”

For this example, make the settings shown in the illustration 3.

8In Arpeggio Pattern Setup, make settings to spec- ify how the arpeggio will be played.

These settings can be changed during or after edit- ing (☞p.127 in the Parameter Guide).

9Select the Pattern Edit tab.

A pattern consists of Steps and Tones.

•Step: A user arpeggio pattern can have a maximum of 48 steps. The arpeggiator will play from the first step, at intervals of the note value specified by “Resolution.” The vertical lines of the grid shown in the center of the LCD screen indicate the steps.

Use “Step No.” to select the step. For each step, specify “Pitch Offset,” “Gate,” “Velocity” and “Flam.”

•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 [./ 10’s 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
