Korg Speaker System owner manual Dual arpeggiator editing, 104, Set the parameters for each step

If “Fixed Note Mode” is set to Trigger All Tones, playing a single note on the keyboard will cause the rhythm pattern to play.

If “Fixed Note Mode” is set to Trigger As Played, playing a single note on the keyboard will cause only the kick (Tone00) to play. Playing two notes on the keyboard will cause only the kick (Tone00) and snare (Tone01) to play. In this way, the number of keys that you play will be played by the same num- ber of tones.

5Set the parameters for each step.

Use “Velocity” etc. to add accents to the rhythm pat- tern.

The “Gate” and “Velocity” settings you make here will be valid if the “Gate” and “Velocity” parame- ters (Program P7: Edit-Arpeggiator, Arpeg. Setup tab) 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 specified gate and velocity.

Set the ARPEGGIATOR [GATE] and [VELOCITY] knobs to the center position (12 o’clock).

Dual arpeggiator editing

Here we will use a combination as an example in our explanation.

For details on how the arpeggiator operates differently in Sequencer and Song Play modes than in Combina- tion mode, refer to the following section “note.”

If you have moved from Combination mode, the arpeggio pattern selected by the combination will be affected by your editing.

1In Combination mode, select a combination that uses the arpeggio pattern you wish to edit.

For this example, select a combination to which arpeggiators A and B is assigned.

2Press the ARPEGGIATOR [ON/OFF] key to turn on the arpeggiator (the LED will light).

Even if the arpeggiator had been turned off when you moved here, you can use the ARPEGGIATOR [ON/OFF] key to turn it on. However, if “Arpeggia- tor Run” A or B are not checked, and if no timbres have been assigned in “Arpeggiator Assign,” then the arpeggiator will not operate.

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

4If you moved here from Combination mode, use the “Arpeggiator Select” radio buttons A and B to select the arpeggiator that you wish to edit.

If this is A, your editing will apply to the parame- ters and user arpeggio pattern of arpeggiator A.

If this is B, your editing will apply to the parameters and user arpeggio pattern of arpeggiator B.

5Switch between arpeggiators A and B, and edit their respective user arpeggio patterns.

If you wish to stop one of the arpeggiators, return to Combination mode, and in P0: Play, select the Arpeggio Play tab and uncheck the “Arpeggiator Run” check box.

6To modify the name of a user arpeggio pattern, use the page menu command “Rename Arpeggio Pat- tern” (☞p.38).

7If you wish to save the edited user arpeggio pat- tern in internal memory, you must write the user arpeggio pattern.

In this case, both user arpeggio patterns will be written simultaneously. If you turn off the power without writing, the edited contents will be lost (☞p.39).

8If you wish to save the state of the combination at the same time, return to Combination mode and write the combination (☞p.38).

You can edit a user arpeggio pattern in Sequencer and Song Play modes in the same way as in Com- bination mode.

However, when you play the keyboard in Global mode, the program and arpeggiator of tracks that match the global MIDI channel (set in Global P1: MIDI) will be heard.

For example, suppose that you assign track 1 to MIDI channel 01 and arpeggiator A, and assign track 2 to MIDI channel 02 and arpeggiator B.

(MIDI channel is set in Sequencer mode P2: Trk Param by MIDI Ch1–8, 9–16, and is fixed in Song Play mode.)

Use “Track Select” to select the track that you wish to play from the keyboard. If you select track 1, you will be able to play arpeggiator A. If you select track 2, you will be able to play arpeggiator B. If in this state you move to Global mode, arpeggiator A (track 1) will be played if the global MIDI channel is 01, or arpeggiator B (track 2) will be played if the global MIDI channel is 02.

When editing a user arpeggio pattern, pay atten- tion to the global MIDI channel, the channel of each track, and the arpeggiator assignments, and make sure that the arpeggiator you are hearing is the pattern that you wish to edit.

If you moved here from Sampling mode, the arpeggiator will not turn on. Nor will it be possible to edit arpeggio patterns.
