Arpeggiator functions and scene settings Regarding arpeggiator synchronization
Regarding arpeggiator synchronization
"Key Sync." parameter
The timing of the arpeggiator notes depends on the state of
the arpeggiator Key Sync. check box.
If this box is checked, the arpeggiator will start running at
the first note-on that occurs after you've taken your hands
completely off the keyboard.
If this box is unchecked, the arpeggiator will run in
synchronization with the internal/external MIDI clock.
Below, we will explain how synchronization occurs when
the Key Sync. check box is not checked (Synchronization
with Song Start and with MIDI realtime Start messages are
excluded).
Synchronization between arpeggiators
A and B
In COMBINATION and SEQUENCER modes, the two
arpeggiators can run simultaneously. In this case, if one
arpeggiator is already running, and you then run the other
arpeggiator (with "Key Sync." unchecked), the second
arpeggiator will synchronize to the " (Tempo)" based on the
first arpeggiator.
If Key Sync. is checked, arpeggiators A and B will run
independently, each at their own tempo.
Synchronization with the drum track
If you want the arpeggiator to synchronize to the drum track
pattern that's currently playing, uncheck the Key Sync.
setting. In this case, the arpeggiator will synchronize to the
beat of the drum track pattern that's currently playing.
Note: If you want the drum track pattern to synchronize to
the arpeggiator that's currently running, turn on the "Sync"
setting (the Trigger parameter of the Drum Track page of
each mode).
Synchronization between the arpeggiator
and sequencer in SEQUENCER mode
If song playback is stopped
• The arpeggiator will synchronize to the " (Tempo)"
based on the internal MIDI clock timing.
• If an RPPR pattern is playing in SEQUENCER mode,
the arpeggiator will synchronize to the beat based on that
pattern.
If you want the RPPR pattern playback to synchronize to the
arpeggiator that's currently running, set "Sync" to SEQ
(SEQUENCER > Pattern/RPPR– RPPR Setup page).
Pattern playback will synchronize to the " (Tempo)" timing
of the arpeggiator.
While playing back or recording a song
• The arpeggiator will synchronize to the beat based on the
timing of the song.
Synchronization with Song Start
• If the arpeggiator is turned on (ARP button is on) and is
running, it will reset to the beginning of its arpeggio
pattern when a Song Start is received. (This is unaffected
by the Key Sync. setting.)
• In SEQUENCER mode when Key Sync. is unchecked
and the ARP button is on, if you start the arpeggiator by
pressing a key during the pre-count before recording
begins, the arpeggiator will start its pattern as soon as
recording begins, and will be recorded.
Synchronization with external sequencer
playback
If " (Tempo)" is EXT (i.e., if GLOBAL > MIDI MIDI
Clock is External MIDI or External USB) in PROGRAM,
COMBINATION, or SEQUENCER modes, the arpeggiator
will synchronize to the MIDI timing Clock and Start
messages received from a connected MIDI device.
Note: Synchronization will occur in the same way if MIDI
timing Clock is Auto and MIDI realtime clock messages are
being received from a connected MIDI device.
Synchronization with external MIDI timing clock
The arpeggiator will synchronize to the " (Tempo)" timing
of the external MIDI timing clock.
Synchronization with MIDI realtime Start messages
If the arpeggiator is turned on and running, an incoming
MIDI realtime Start message will reset the arpeggiator to the
beginning of its pattern (This is unaffected by the Key Sync.
setting).
Synchronizing the Drum Track
The Trigger "Sync" parameter
The trigger timing of a Drum Track will depend on the
setting of its Drum Trigger parameter.
On (checked): The trigger timing will be quantized to the
nearest beat relative to the base tempo.
Off (unchecked): If Trigger Mode is Start Immediately,
triggering will occur at the moment you press the DRUM
button. If this is set to Wait KBD Trig, triggering will occur
at the moment you play the keyboard.
Synchronizing the Drum Track with ARP, the
Sequencer, and RPPR performance
If you want the Drum Track pattern to play in sync with the
currently-operating ARP function, currently-playing song,
or RPPR performance, turn Trigger Sync To ARP on.
Trigger Sync To ARP Off: If the Trigger Mode setting is
Start Immediately, the Drum Track pattern will be triggered
the moment you press the DRUM button. If this is set to
Wait KBD Trig, the Drum Track pattern will be triggered the
moment you play the keyboard. It will not synchronize to the
currently-operating ARP function or to the currently-playing
song, pattern, or RPPR.
Trigger Sync To ARP On: Triggering will synchronize to the
currently-playing song, pattern or RPPR performance in
units of a measure. Triggering will synchronize to the
currently-operating ARP function (in SEQUENCER mode if
the song or pattern is stopped) in units of a beat.
Note: If you want to synchronize the RPPR pattern
performance to the currently-running Drum Track, set the
Sync parameter to Beat or Measure.
