Editing arpeggio patterns
Creating a user arpeggio pattern
About user arpeggio patterns
The patterns that can be selected on the NAUTILUS's
arpeggiator are called "arpeggio patterns." There are two
types of arpeggio patterns: preset arpeggio patterns and user
arpeggio patterns.
Preset arpeggio patterns:
There are five patterns; UP, DOWN, ALT1, ALT2, and
RANDOM.
The functionality of these patterns is fixed, and cannot be
edited.
User arpeggio patterns:
There are 2176 patterns - A0000-A2047, B000-B127 -
which can develop chords or phrases in a wide variety of
ways, based on the pitches that you play on the keyboard or
the timing with which you play them.
In GLOBAL > ARP Pattern– Setup you can modify these
user arpeggio patterns, or create a new user arpeggio pattern
from an initialized condition. Edited user arpeggio patterns
can be written to internal memory areas A0000-A2047,
B000-B127.
In MEDIA mode, you can also save user arpeggio patterns to
media.
Editing a user arpeggio pattern
If you want to edit a user arpeggio pattern, you must first
make sure that memory protect is unchecked. (See
page 635 of the PG)
If you enter this mode from the PROGRAM mode, your
editing will apply to the arpeggio pattern specified for the
selected program.
Note: To edit a preloaded arpeggio pattern, you might want
to copy it to an unused user arpeggio pattern first and then
edit it.
1. In PROGRAM mode, select a program which uses the
arpeggio pattern you wish to edit, or a program that
you wish to use as a basis for editing the arpeggio
pattern.
2. Press the ARP button to turn the arpeggiator on (the
button will light up).
Even if you entered GLOBAL mode from a program in
which the arpeggiator was turned off, you can use the
ARP button to turn it on.
3. Select the GLOBAL > Arpeggio Pattern page (see
page 680 of the PG).

4. "Arpeggio Module" will automatically be set to A when
you navigate to this page from PROGRAM mode.
5. In "Pattern," select the arpeggio pattern that you wish
to edit.
For this example, select an empty user arpeggio pattern.
If a blank pattern is selected, playing the keyboard will
not start an arpeggio. Although preset arpeggio patterns
P0–P4 can be selected, they cannot be edited.
When you edit a user arpeggio pattern, the changes will
have an effect anytime that this pattern is used in
Program, Combination, or Song.
6. In "Length," specify the length of the pattern.
After the pattern has played for the length specified, it will
return to the beginning. This setting can also be changed
during or after editing. For this example, set it to 08.
Turn the RT control knob 3 ("LENGTH" with
ARP/DRUM selected) all the way to the right so that its
value is that of "Length" (on the GLOBAL > Arpeggio
Pattern– Setup page).
Note: For the preload arpeggio patterns A0002–A1592,
simply changing the "Length" can significantly change
the character of the pattern. Try changing the length and
listening to the result. (See "Changing the number of
steps in the arpeggio pattern: LENGTH" on page 159.)
7. Using the other parameters, specify how the arpeggio
will be developed.
8. Press the EDIT button to select ARP Pattern Edit
dialog.
