Arpeggio Record
Mode
In Arpeggio Record mode there are two methods
available for recording arpeggio sequence data, real
time recording and step recording. There are also
various functions related to recording arpeggios and a
maximum of 50 arpeggios, each of which are
accompanied with the settings in Arpeggio Mode
screen, can be stored in the internal memory. For
organizing your arpeggios, they can be stored to floppy
disk so that you can make use of them whenever you
like.
Real Time Recording: Just like a multi-track recorder,
the actual performance is recorded as you play. Because
the performance is recorded exactly as played, the
subtle nuances and feeling of the recording are
accurately expressed.
Step Recording: Just like writing music on a music
score, each note is programmed in separately. You can
confirm each beat of the measure in the screen as you
perform operations. Therefore this type of recording is
perfect for programming repetitive phrases and bass
lines that require precision.
Arpeggiator will use the sequence data recorded here as
its basic patterns. An arpeggio consists of four tracks.
The arpeggio tracks, pattern tracks and song tracks
share the same 16 parts of the tone generator. The
MIDI channels for each arpeggio track can be set in
Arp CH parameter of the Voice Mode Setup in Voice
mode and of the COM menu in Performance mode,
respectively.
The arpeggio sequencer doesn’t read the messages of the
program change and system exclusive.
