Playing the Keyboard
Try playing the keyboard on the KX to hear the
sound of “RockSt2” selected in step 4 on the
previous page. Depending on the pressed note, a
different instrument’s sound will be played back,
allowing you to play your own rhythm pattern in real
time by pressing various notes rhythmically.
Playing an Arpeggio
The Arpeggio feature is a powerful tool for both
real-time performance and recording. It lets you
easily play (in many cases, with just a single finger)
a wide variety of specially programmed rhythm
patterns, riffs and phrases using the currently
selected instrument on the computer.
This section shows you how to play Arpeggios by
using “RockSt2” selected in step 4 on the previous
page. You can hear the rhythm pattern play back
automatically.
Trigger the Arpeggio with one finger
1.
Press the [ARP ON/OFF] button (the lamp
lights).
2.
Press a single note on the keyboard.
The Arpeggio (rhythm pattern) starts just by
playing a single note with one finger.
3.
Release the note to stop the Arpeggio.
NOTE
By pressing the [OCTAVE] button and
playing in the same octave area as before,
you can call up a completely different set of
drum sounds. Try shifting the octave setting
and call up your favorite drum instruments
and percussion sounds. To reset the octave
to the default status, press both [OCTAVE]
buttons simultaneously. For details about
the [OCTAVE] buttons, see page 27.
NOTE
The Arpeggio plays back according to the
internal tempo set in the Utility display
(page 36) or the external tempo set on the
DAW software depending on the current
status. For details, see page 32.
