Using the arpeggiator while you play

The arpeggiator is a function that automatically gener- ates arpeggios (broken chords). Most arpeggiators pro- duce an arpeggio when you play a chord on the keyboard.

the arpeggiator. Arpeggios will begin sounding when you play the keyboard.

2As described in the following sections “Settings using controllers” and “Settings in the LCD screen,” move the controllers or modify the param- eters to change the way in which the arpeggios are played.

Quick Start

The chord you played on the keyboard is sounded as an arpeggio (broken chord)

In addition to this, the TRITON’s arpeggiator is a poly- phonic arpeggiator that is able to produce a variety of chordal transformations or phrases based on the pitch or timing of the notes you play on the keyboard. These functions let you use the arpeggiator to play a wide range of patterns including drum or bass phrases, and guitar or keyboard backing riffs. It is also effective to use the arpeggiator as part of the sound-creating pro- cess when creating subtly-moving pads, synth-sounds, or sound effects.

In addition, the TRITON features a Dual Arpeggiator that lets you simultaneously use two arpeggio patterns in Combination mode, Sequencer mode, and Song Play mode. You can take advantage of this in many ways, such as applying separate arpeggio patterns to a drums program and a bass program, or using key- board split or velocity to switch between two arpeggio patterns.

The TRITON provides ﬁve preset arpeggio patterns (the standard UP, DOWN, ALT1, ALT2, and RAN- DOM), and lets you program and store 232 user arpeg- gio patterns. With the factory settings, these contain a wide variety of preset user patterns. An arpeggio pat- tern that you create can also be stored as a user arpeg- gio pattern.

For the arpeggio pattern names, refer to the separate Voice Name List.
