RPPR playback

Here’s how you can use the RPPR function to perform in the P0: Play/REC page. You can also playback a song while you perform with the RPPR function.

1In Sequencer mode, select P0: Play/REC.

2Check the “RPPR” check box. The RPPR function will be turned on. The on/off setting is memorized for each song.

3Play the keyboard, and patterns will begin playing according to the RPPR settings.

Keys to which no pattern is assigned can be used for normal keyboard performance. (When you change “Track Select,” the track played by the key- board will change.)

If you wish to trigger the RPPR function from an external MIDI device, use the MIDI channel that is selected for “Track Select.”

4To turn off the RPPR function, uncheck the RPPR check box.

RPPR performance techniques

Pattern playback for a key with a “Sync” setting of Beat or Measure will synchronize to the pattern playback of the first key. (For details refer to “Sync” on p.71 in the Parameter Guide.)

Pattern playback for a key with a “Sync” setting of SEQ will synchronize to the playback of the song. Start song playback, and then press the key. The pattern playback will start in synchronization with the measures of the song.

Synchronization will be lost if you use the [<<REW] or [FF>>] keys while a song is playing.

If you want RPPR pattern playback to begin at the moment that song playback begins, it is a good idea to insert an empty measure containing no musical data before the song playback begins.

If the song is stopped, the pattern will synchronize to the timing of the arpeggiator.

If you are playing the pattern in synchronization (when “Sync” is Beat, Measure, or SEQ), the pattern will start accurately if you play the note slightly earlier than the timing of the beat or measure. Even if you play the note slightly later than the beat or measure (but no later than a 32nd note), it will be considered to have started at the beat or measure, and the beginning of the pattern will be compressed so that the remainder of the playback will be correct.

Multitrack recording

You can use multitrack recording to simultaneously record the performance of multiple tracks played by the RPPR function.

The pattern will be recorded as musical data on the track used by RPPR.

RPPR settings for recording are made in the P6: Pat- tern/RPPR tab RPPR Setup. Here if you set “Sync” to SEQ, the pattern playback will be recorded in synchro- nization with the sequencer. For details on how the “Sync” setting will affect the start timing of the pattern playback (p.71 in the Parameter Guide).

With a setting of SEQ, patterns played by the RPPR function while the sequencer is playing or recording will start in synchronization with the measures of the sequencer. The pattern of a key pressed during the pre- count before recording begins will start simultaneously with the beginning of recording, and will be recorded.

When recording the playback of patterns triggered by RPPR, the timing of the recorded events may be slightly skewed. If this occurs, try setting “Reso” (Realtime Quantize Resolution) to a setting other than Hi.

1Using the procedure described in “Preparations for recording” (p.64), make the necessary set- tings.

Your keyboard performance on keys that are not assigned to the RPPR function will be recorded on the track specified by “Track Select.”

2In the P0: Play/REC tab Preference, set “Recording Setup” to Over Write.

Multitrack recording can be used in Over Write, Over Dub, Manual Punch In, and Auto Punch In recording modes. Here we will describe the proce- dure for the most commonly used overwrite recording.

3Check the “Multi REC” check box.

4Press the Program T01–08 or Program T09–16 tab. The “PLAY/MUTE/REC” button of each track will indicate REC. For the tracks that you do not wish to record, press the “PLAY/MUTE/REC” button to select either PLAY or MUTE.

You will record all tracks played by RPPR and the keyboard performance track selected by “Track Select.”
