10–3b: RPPR Setup
KEY (Key Select)
Specifies the key to which you want to assign an RPPR
pattern.
The following parameters will apply to the key that you
select here.
Note: You can also set the note and velocity values by
holding down an edit cell or the ENTER button and playing
a key (see OG p.10).
Assign
On (checked): When you play the key specified by KEY, the
pattern selected in Pattern will be triggered.
Off (unchecked): That key will sound the currently selected
track at the corresponding pitch, just as in normal Sequencer
mode.
Mode
Specifies the way in which the pattern assigned to the
specified KEY will be played.
Once: When you press the key, the complete pattern will
play once to the end and then stop.
Manual: The pattern will continue repeating as long as you
continue holding the key, and will stop as soon as you
release the key.
Endless: The pattern will continue repeating even after you
release the key. To stop the pattern playback, press any note
below C2, or press the same key once again.

Shift
Adjusts the playback pitch of the pattern for the specified
KEY in semitone steps over a range of ±1 octave.
With a setting of 0, the pattern will be played at its original
pitch.
Sync
Specifies the way in which the pattern playback will be
synchronized when you press the specified KEY.
Off: The pattern will begin playing at the moment you press
the note.
Beat: The pattern will synchronize to the beat of the other
patterns that are already in play. This setting is suitable
when you wish to play phrase patterns in unison.
Measure: The pattern will synchronize to the measures of
the pattern that was started by the first key. This setting is
suitable for rhythm, bass or drum patterns.

• When Beat or Measure are selected, pattern playback will
begin when you press the first key. The second and
subsequent patterns that are triggered from the keyboard
will synchronize to the pattern that was started by the
first key; with a setting of Beat they will synchronize in
steps of a beat, and with a setting of Measure they will
synchronize in steps of a measure.
• When SEQ is selected, the pattern will play back in
synchronization with the measures of the sequencer song.
The pattern will synchronize with the currently‐playing
song, so you must start the song before you play notes on
the keyboard.
• Beat, Measure, and SEQ will cause the pattern to start
immediately if you play the key within a thirty‐second
note of the timing of the respective beat or measure, but if
you play the key later than this, the start of the pattern
will be delayed by a beat.
• Set this to SEQ if you want pattern playback by RPPR to
be synchronized to the currently‐running arpeggiator.
Note: If you want the arpeggiator performance to
STOP
synchronize to the currently‐running RPPR playback, turn
Off the arpeggiator's Key Sync. The arpeggiator will
synchronize to the beat based on the RPPR playback timing.
Note: If you want the drum track pattern performance to
synchronize to the currently‐running RPPR playback, turn
On the drum track function's Sync (in each mode, the Drum
Track page Trigger). The drum track will be triggered at
intervals of one measure at the RPPR playback timing.
Stopping RPPR pattern playback
You can stop all currently‐running RPPR pattern playback
by pressing C2 or any lower key.
Pattern playback will stop immediately for keys whose Sync
parameter is set to Off, but pattern playback for other keys
will stop at the beginning of the beat or measure. You can
immediately stop pattern playback for keys whose Sync is
On by pressing C2 or a lower key twice in rapid succession.
