Global P6: Arpeggio Pattern; 6-1: Pattern Setup - Korg M50-88 Parameter Manual

Global P6: Arpeggio Pattern

Here, you can create user arpeggio patterns.
In this page, the M50 will continue to sound as it did before
entering Global mode.
If you entered Global mode from Program mode: Your
editing will apply to the arpeggio pattern that is selected by
the program. Even if the previously selected program's
arpeggiator is turned off, it can be turned on by the ARP
ON/OFF switch.
If you entered Global mode from Combination mode:
Your editing will apply to the arpeggio pattern that is
selected by the combination. Even if the previously selected
combination's arpeggiator is turned off, it can be turned on
by the ARP ON/OFF switch.
However, it is not possible to turn on an arpeggiator for
which the Arpeggiator Run (P7: 7–1(2)c) parameter A or B is
not checked. Additionally, the arpeggiator will not operate if
it has not been assigned to a timbre in Arpeggiator Assign
(P7: 7–1(2)c).
If you entered Global mode from Sequencer mode: Your
editing will apply to the arpeggio pattern specified for the
selected song. Even if you entered Global mode from
settings in which the arpeggiator was turned off, you can
use the ARP ON/OFF switch to turn it on.
However, it is not possible to turn on an arpeggiator for
which the Arpeggiator Run (P7: 7–1(2)c) parameter A or B is
not checked. Additionally, the arpeggiator will not operate if
it has not been assigned to a track in Arpeggiator Assign
(P7: 7–1(2)c).
In each of the above cases, you can modify the settings of the
arpeggio pattern even if the arpeggiator is not turned on.
When editing a pattern, it is a good idea to turn on the
arpeggiator and make sure that it is the pattern that you
wish to edit.
If you entered Global mode from Sampling mode:
The arpeggiator will not turn on, nor will it be possible
to edit the arpeggio pattern.
If you want the edited user arpeggio pattern settings to
be backed up even when the power is turned off, you
must write them into memory. Select the Write
Arpeggio Pattern menu command to access the Write
Arpeggio Pattern dialog box. Alternatively, press the
SEQUENCER REC/WRITE switch to access the Update
Arpeggio Patterns dialog box. Then press the OK
button to write the edited data.
For details on creating an arpeggio pattern, see page 246.

Arpeggio Select
If the M50 was previously in Combination or Sequencer
mode and you want to edit an arpeggio pattern, you must
select either arpeggiator A or B as the pattern to edit. Your
editing will apply only to the selected one. B will not be
displayed if the previous mode was Program mode.
(Tempo)
Specifies the tempo.
This can also be adjusted by the TEMPO knob. If MIDI
Clock (Global 1–1a) is set to External MIDI or External USB,
this will indicate EXT, and the arpeggiator will synchronize
to MIDI Clock messages from an external MIDI device.
Pattern

Selects the pattern that you want to edit.
P0: UP...P4: RANDOM Preset arpeggio patterns
U0000(INT)...U0899(INT) Preloaded arpeggio patterns
U0900(USER)...U1027(USER) User arpeggio patterns
Note: If you want to edit an arpeggio pattern (such as a
preloaded arpeggio pattern) that is also used by another
program, it is a good idea to use the menu command Copy
Arpeggio Pattern to copy the arpeggio pattern to an unused
number U0900(USER)...U1027(USER), and then to edit the
copy.
Note: If you want to edit the arpeggio pattern name, execute
the menu command Rename Arpeggio Pattern.
Length (Pattern Length)
Specifies the length of the arpeggio pattern. The arpeggio
pattern will play the number of steps you specify here at the
note value interval specified by Resolution, and will then
begin again. This is not valid for preset arpeggio patterns
