Drum pattern

Here’s how you can use the arpeggiator to play a rhythm pattern by using the “Fixed Note” setting that is ideal for a drum program.

1In Program mode, select a drum kit program.

For this example, select the preset program A036: Standard Kit.

2In Global P6: User Arpeggio, select the Pattern Setup tab, and make Arpeggio Pattern Setup set- tings.

“Arpeggio Tone Type”: Set this to Fixed Note. This will cause the tone to always sound at the specified pitch.

“Fixed Note Mode”: If you set this to Trigger All Tones, playing a single note on the keyboard will sound all tones.

If you set this to Trigger As Played, the tones will be sounded according to the notes you play on the key- board.

3Select the Pattern Edit tab.

Each Tone in the display will be shown as a small circle.

Now you will can set “Tone No.” and “Fixed Note No.” Select “Tone No.,” and set “Fixed Note No.” to the note number that will be sounded by that tone. For each horizontal line (Tone) in the display, you will specify the drumsample (note number) of the drum kit.

Here, set “Tone No.” and “Fixed Note No.” as fol- lows.

Tone00: C2 (kick)

Tone01: F2 (snare)

Tone02: F#3 (closed hi-hat)

Tone03: G#3 (open hi-hat)

The drumsamples that correspond to each note number will differ depending on the drum kit. You will find it convenient to audition the drum sounds from the keyboard, and then input the “Fixed Note No.” by holding down the [ENTER] key and play- ing the desired note.

Creating a drum pattern

1Input the kick (Tone00). Set “Step No.” to 01, and press the [0] key. Then set “Step No.” to 05, and press the [0] key.
