Rppr Playback; Recording An Rppr Performance - Korg kronos Operation Manual

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.

RPPR playback

Let's use the RPPR you created to perform in the P0:
Play/REC– MIDI Track Prog Select/Mixer page.
1. Select the P0: Play/REC– MIDI Track Prog Select/
Mixer page (See the diagram below).
2. Check the "RPPR" check box.
The RPPR function will be turned on. Set the on/off for
each song.
3. Play the keyboard, and patterns will begin playing
according to the RPPR settings.
• Pattern playback for a key with a "Sync" setting of Beat
or Measure will sync to the playback of the first pattern.
For more information, see "Sync" on page 595 of the
Parameter Guide.
• 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.

Recording an RPPR performance

You can record RPPR performances in real-time.
If you are using only one track (such as MIDI Track 01), set
"Track Select" to the desired track, and un-check Multi Rec.
On the other hand, even if RPPR uses only one track, use
multi-track recording if you will be selecting another track in
"Track Select" and recording its performance at the same
time.
You should also select multi-track recording if you specified
the RPPR data using multiple tracks rather than just a single
track, and want to simultaneously record the performance of
multiple tracks.
Using RPPR (Realtime Pattern Play/Record) RPPR playback
13.To stop playback, either press the same key once
again, or press the C2 or lower key.
If you wish to trigger the RPPR function from an external
MIDI device, use the MIDI channel that is selected for
"Track Select."
4. To turn off the RPPR function, uncheck the RPPR
check box.
Play RPPR while a Song plays back
RPPR can be played in synchronization with the playback of
a song.
Pattern playback for a key with a "Sync" setting of SEQ will
synchronize to the playback of the song. (See "Sync" on
page 595 of the Parameter Guide.) Start the 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
>> switches while a song is playing.
Note: 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.
Note: If the song is stopped, the pattern will synchronize to
the timing of KARMA.
Note: The RPPR pattern will be recorded as performance
data on the tracks used by the pattern.
In this example, we'll explain how you can record an RPPR
performance and a keyboard performance at the same time.
Before you continue, use the P0: Play/REC– MIDI Track
Prog Select/Mixer page to assign a drum program to MIDI
track 1, and a bass program to MIDI track 2.
1. Assign several keys starting with C#2 to preset
patterns.
Check the C#2 "Assign" setting, and set "Bank" to Preset
and "Pattern Name" to the desired preset pattern. For
