RPPR (Realtime Pattern Play/

Recording) function

For details on the RPPR function, refer to “Playing with the RPPR function” (☞p.33). Here we will give an example of how to make RPPR settings, and how to playback and record.

“Assign” check box. (You can make assignments for keys C#2–C8. Keys C2 and below are used for stop- ping the pattern playback, and cannot be assigned.)

4Select the pattern that will playback when you press the key selected in step 3.

Use “Pattern” to select the pattern type (either Pre- set or User), and use “Pattern Select” to select the pattern. A user pattern selected here must have already been recorded or copied in the Pattern Edit tab.

RPPR settings

RPPR settings are made individually for each song. To use RPPR playback, check the “RPPR” check box. If this is checked, the RPPR function will be turned on, and playing the keyboard will cause patterns to play- back according to the RPPR settings. If the “RPPR” check box is not checked, the song will play normally even if RPPR settings have been made.

1Make track settings just as when preparing to record tracks.

Use steps 1–4 of “Preparations for recording” (☞p.64) to specify the program for the track.

2In Sequencer mode P6: Pattern/RPPR, select the RPPR Setup tab.

In this page, the RPPR function will automatically be on.

3Use “KEY” to select the key to which you wish to assign a pattern.

You can also select a key by holding down the [ENTER] key and playing a note. Check the

5Select the track that will play this pattern.

The pattern will play according to the program and other settings of the track you select here.

If you wish to play a drum pattern, choose a track for which a drum program is selected. If you wish to play a bass pattern, select a track for which a bass program is selected.

6Set “Mode,” “Shift” and “Sync” to specify how the pattern will play, and how it will synchronize.

When you press the key to which the pattern is assigned, the pattern will begin playing. The method of stopping playback will depend on the “Mode” setting, but pressing the C2 or lower key will stop all patterns.

For details on these parameters and on how to stop the playback, refer to p.71 in the Parameter Guide. The assigned keys will be shown as a keyboard graphic in the LCD screen.

Unassigned keys can be used for normal keyboard performance. Use “Track Select” to select the track that will be played from the keyboard. For exam- ple you might assign backing patterns such as drums and bass to the C#2–B2keys and use these keys to control pattern playback, and use keys C3 and above to play solos in realtime. It is a good idea to keep the assigned keys together in this way.
