Tips & Tricks
• Use the standard up/down/
random arp settings instead of
patterns.
• Use the multi-channel arp
trick on page 26 with the drum
arps.
• Create presets with several arp
instruments laid across the
keyboard, then use the arp
extension to play through them.
• Combine DArp instruments
using the four layers and key
ranges to create even more
permutations.
• Try multiple arp layers with
velocity switching.

There are 20 special Drum Arpeggiator (DA) instruments at locations 759-
778. These special key maps were designed to be combined with the Drum-
Arp patterns DA01-DA50, located in arp pattern bank three. The "arp:"
presets are all set up with an arp instrument and a drum arp assigned.
The diagram below shows the layout of one of these special patterns. These
instruments are laid out so that a simple up or down arpeggio produces a
drum pattern. The pattern is embedded in the instrument!
