Synchronizing the arpeggiator
The note timing of the arpeggiator will differ depending
on the state of the arpeggiator “Key Sync.” check box.
If this is checked, the arpeggiator will operate at the tim-
ing of the first note-on you play from a state in which all
keys are released.
If this is unchecked, the arpeggiator will operate in syn-
chronization with the internal or external MIDI clock.
The paragraphs below explain how synchronization
occurs when the “Key Sync.” check box is unchecked.
(However, synchronization with Song Start and with the
MIDI realtime command Start message are exceptions to
this.)
Synchronization between arpeggiators
A and B
In Combination, Sequencer and Song Play modes, two
arpeggiators can operate simultaneously. In this case, if
you start an arpeggiator (whose “Key Sync.” is
unchecked) while the other arpeggiator is already run-
ning, the arpeggiator you started will synchronize to the
“ (Tempo)” based on the timing of the already-running
arpeggiator.
If “Key Sync.” is checked, A and B will each operate
on their own timing.
Synchronization between the
arpeggiators and sequencer in
Sequencer or Song Play mode
When song playback is stopped
• The arpeggiator will synchronize to the “ (Tempo)”
based on the timing of the internal MIDI clock.
• In Sequencer mode when an RPPR pattern is playing,
the arpeggiator will synchronize to the beats of that
pattern.
• In Sequencer mode if you want RPPR pattern
playback to be synchronized to the currently-running
arpeggiator, set “Sync” to SEQ (Sequencer
P6:Pattern/RPPR, RPPR Setup page).
The pattern playback will synchronize to the
“ (Tempo)” timing of the arpeggiator.
When a song is being played or recorded
• The arpeggiator will synchronize to the beats based on
the timing of the song.
Synchronization with Song Start
• When the arpeggiator is on (the ARPEGGIATOR
[ON/OFF] key is on) and running, receiving a Song
Start message will reset the arpeggiator to the
beginning of the pattern. (This has no relation to the
“Key Sync.” setting.)
• In Sequencer mode when the “Key Sync.” setting is
unchecked and the ARPEGGIATOR [ON/OFF] key is
on, starting the arpeggiator by pressing notes during
the pre-count before recording will cause the
arpeggiator to start (and be recorded) from the
beginning of the arpeggio pattern at the moment that
recording begins.
Synchronization with an external
sequencer in Program, Combination,
or Sequencer modes
In Program, Combination, and Sequencer modes when
“ (Tempo)” is EXT (Global P1: MIDI “MIDI Clock” set to
External MIDI or External mLAN), the TRITON STUDIO
will synchronize to MIDI Clock and Start messages
received from an external MIDI sequencer (or similar
device) connected by a MIDI cable.
Synchronization to external MIDI clock
• The arpeggiator will synchronize to the “ (Tempo)”
based on the timing of the external MIDI clock.
Synchronization to the MIDI Start message
• When the arpeggiator is on and operating, receiving a
MIDI Start message will cause the arpeggiator to reset
to the beginning of the pattern. (This has no relation to
the “Key Sync.” setting.)
In Song Play mode, the TRITON STUDIO will not
synchronize to an external MIDI clock.
