Play Back A Pattern By Pressing Specific Keys (Rps).16; Combine Patterns For Playback - Roland XP-80 Quick Start Manual

Play back a pattern by pressing specific keys (RPS)
The RPS (Realtime Phrase Sequencing) function allows you to assign a Pattern to a key on the
keyboard and play it back simply by pressing the assigned key. Since different phrases can be
played back by pressing different keys, this function is especially effective for live performance.
The demo disk contains a demo song "09:RPS_DEMO.SVQ (Try RPS)" that allows you to try
out the RPS function. Here's how.

Insert the demo disk into the disk drive.
Press [SEQUENCER].
Make sure that the cursor is located at the song number.

Press [STOP/PLAY] to begin playback.
As you listen to the song, press keys on the keyboard referring to the diagram below.
Pressing a key will play back the pattern once.
If you press F2, the pattern will repeatedly play back. To interrupt playback of the pattern,

Combine Patterns for playback

The included demo disk also contains various Pattern collections which you can use in various
playing situations. These Pattern collections are contained in the songs numbers from 10 to 20.
You may use these Pattern collections to create your own songs. The demo song
DEMO_006.SVQ (RPS City) has been created using the Pattern set PTNSET11.SVQ (Trance Set).
These Pattern collections will not play back even when you press [STOP/PLAY]. By pressing
specific keys, however, you can play back drum, bass or other instrument phrases. Here's how
you can play a song combining these Patterns.
