C–Arp (Arpeggiator) - Korg KROSS Parameter Manual

Combination mode
6: C–ARP (Arpeggiator)
These parameters specify how the arpeggiator will function within
the combination. Two arpeggiators can run simultaneously.
This offers a variety of possibilities, such as applying separate
arpeggio patterns to two sounds that have been assigned as a
keyboard split, or using velocity to switch between two arpeggio
patterns.
6–1: ASSIGN
Timbre 01...16 (Timbre Number)
To select a timbre (active timbre), place the cursor at one of the
following parameters, and use the cursor buttons   to switch
timbres.(see page 71)
ARP Assign
Assigns arpeggiator A or B to each timbre 1–16. When the ARP
button is on, the arpeggiator specified for each timbre will operate
according to Arpeggiator Run A, B and these settings.
Off: The arpeggiator will be off.
A: Arpeggiator A will be on. Use the settings in the Arpeggiator A
page to select the arpeggio pattern and to set parameters.
B: Arpeggiator B will be on. Use the settings in the Arpeggiator B
page to select the arpeggio pattern and to set parameters.
If the Status (COMBI> PROG) of the timbre is INT, each
timbre 1–16 will be sounded by the note data generated by
the assigned arpeggiator, regardless of the MIDI Channel
(C–TIMBRE> MIDI) setting of the timbre. If a timbre is set
to EXT or EX2, MIDI note data will be transmitted on the
MIDI Channel of that timbre.
In this case, arpeggiator A (or B) will be triggered (used) by
all MIDI channels specified for the MIDI Channel
parameter of any timbre 1–16 assigned to arpeggiator A or B.
If Local Control (Local Control On, G–MIDI> BASIC) is
OFF, the keyboard will not trigger the arpeggiator.The
arpeggiator will be triggered via MIDI IN. Turn Local
Control OFF if you have recorded only the trigger notes on
an external sequencer, and wish to playback the external
sequencer to trigger the KROSS's arpeggiator.
If you want to record the note data generated by the
arpeggiator to an external sequencer, turn Local Control ON,
and turn off the echo back function on your external
sequencer.
You can control the arpeggiator from an external sequencer,
or use an external sequencer to record arpeggio note data.
(See page 320)
Example 1)
Set the MIDI Channel (C–TIMBRE> MIDI) of timbres 1 and 2
to Gch, and set Status (COMBI> PROG) to INT. Assign
arpeggiator A to timbre 1 and arpeggiator B to timbre 2, and
check Arpeggiator Run A, B (COMBI> ARP).

• When the ARP button is off, timbres 1 and 2 will sound
simultaneously (layered) when you play the keyboard.
• When the ARP button is turned on, timbre 1 will be played by
arpeggiator A, and timbre 2 will be played by arpeggiator B.
Example 2)
The MIDI Channel (C–TIMBRE> MIDI) of timbres 1, 2, 3, 4,
and 5 are set respectively to Gch, Gch, 02, Gch, and 03. Their
Status (COMBI> PROG) is set respectively to INT, Off, INT,
Off, and INT. Assign arpeggiator A to timbres 2 and 3, assign
arpeggiator B to timbres 4 and 5, and check Arpeggiator Run
A, B (COMBI> ARP).

• When the ARP button is off, playing the keyboard will only
sound timbre 1. (Timbres 2 and 4 are receiving the Gch, but
they will not sound since their Status is Off.)
• When you turn on the ARP button, arpeggiator A will play
timbres 2 and 3, and arpeggiator B will independently play
timbres 4 and 5. (Arpeggiators A and B are triggered by note
data received from any MIDI channel of an assigned timbre.
However, in this example, they are being triggered from the
Gch.)
When you play the keyboard, arpeggiator A will play timbres 2
and 3, but only timbre 3, whose Status is INT will sound from
the keyboard. Similarly, arpeggiator B will play timbres 4 and
5, but only timbre 5, whose Status is INT will sound from the
keyboard.
In this way, you can adjust the settings so that a timbre is silent
when the arpeggiator is off, and sounds only when the
arpeggiator is on.
This type of setting is used in preloaded combinations which
sound the drums only when the arpeggiator is on. (see page 77
of the Operation Guide )
