Using RPPR (Realtime Pattern Play/Record)
This section explains how to assign a pattern to RPPR,
and how to play and record.
Creating RPPR data
1. Create a new song, and choose a drum program for
MIDI track 1.
2. Select the RPPR Setup tab of the P5: Pattern/RPPR
page. In this page, the RPPR function is
automatically turned on.
3. Select the key to which the pattern will be
assigned.
Select C#2. Hold down the ENTER switch and play
a key, or use the scroll bar located at the right to find
the key.
Note: C2 and lower keys are used to stop playback,
and cannot be assigned.
4. Check “Assign” for C#2.
5. Set “Bank” to Preset, and set “Pattern Name” to
P00.
6. Set “Track Name” to T01.
The selected pattern will be played according to the
settings (program, etc.) of the track you select here.
7. With the C#2 parameter selected, press the Copy
button.
8. Assign patterns to other keys.
Select the D2 parameter, and press the Paste button.
The “Assign,” “Bank,” “Pattern Name,” “Track
Name,” “Mode,” “Shift,” and “Sync” settings you
made in steps 5 and 6 will be copied automatically.
9. Modify only the “Pattern Name.” Select “Pattern
Name,” and press the switch to select P01.
10.Select the D#2 parameter, and press the Paste
button.
The “Assign,” “Bank,” “Pattern Name,” “Track
Name,” “Mode,” “Shift,” and “Sync” settings you
made in steps 5 and 6 will be copied automatically.
As you did in step 9, set “Pattern” to P02.
Note: When making RPPR settings, you can use the
Copy button and Paste button in this way to
efficiently assign the “Bank,” “Pattern Name,” and
“Track Name” etc. to each key.
11.As described above, assign several other patterns
such as P03 and higher.
12.Press the C#2 key. The assigned pattern will play.
Take your finger off the C#2 key, and press the D2
key. The pattern will change, and playback will
begin. At this time, the pattern operation will
depend on the “Sync” and “Mode” setting.
Set “KEY” to C#2, and set “Sync” to Measure. Make
the same setting for D2 (See the diagram above).
Now press the notes consecutively. Notice that the
patterns operate in a different way.
With the “Measure” setting, patterns will be
handled in one-measure units. The second and
subsequent patterns will start in sync with the end
of previously played pattern.
If you change the “Mode” setting to Once, the entire
pattern will playback to the end even if you release
your finger from the keyboard immediately.
13.To stop playback, either press the same key once
again, or press the C2 or lower key.
