Sequencer mode

SEQ P7: ARP/DT (Arpeggiator/DrumTrack)

Here, you can specify how the arpeggiator will operate in
Sequencer mode. These settings can be made for each song.
In Sequencer mode (as in Combination mode), you can run
the two arpeggiators simultaneously.
This allows you to apply different arpeggio patterns to two
sounds that have been split across the keyboard, or use
velocity to switch between two different arpeggio patterns,
etc.
In Sequencer mode, the musical data generated by the
arpeggiator during song track or pattern realtime-recording
can be recorded. At this time, you can change the arpeggio
pattern or parameters while you record, or select ARP on the
control surface and operate the knobs to vary the arpeggio
pattern.
It is not possible to set independent tempos for the
arpeggiator and the sequencer.
When MIDI Clock (Global P1: 1–1a) is Internal, the
arpeggiator can be synchronized to the internal sequencer.
• When you turn on the arpeggiator and press the
SEQUENCER START/STOP switch, the arpeggiator will
synchronize with the sequencer.
• When you press the SEQUENCER START/STOP switch,
the arpeggiator and sequencer will both stop. If you
wish to stop only the arpeggiator, press the ARP ON/
OFF switch to turn off.
When the arpeggiator Key Sync is off, you can turn on the
ARP ON/OFF switch and play the keyboard to start the
arpeggiator during the pre-count before realtime recording
begins. That way, the arpeggiator performance will be
recorded from the beginning of the pattern when recording
starts.
When MIDI Clock is set to External MIDI or External
USB, clock messages transmitted from an external MIDI
device can perform the same type of control.
Even in this case, you can start/stop using the M50's
SEQUENCER START/STOP switch.

Arpeggiator Assign
This individually assigns arpeggiator A or arpeggiator B to
each track 1–8, 9–16. When the ARP ON/OFF switch is
turned on, the arpeggiator specified for each track will run,
subject to the Arpeggiator Run A, B settings and the settings
made here.
Off: Neither arpeggiator will operate.
A: Enables Arpeggiator A. Use the Arpeggiator A page to
select the arpeggio pattern and set the parameters.
B: Enables Arpeggiator B. Use the Arpeggiator B page to
select the arpeggio pattern and set the parameters.
For tracks that you wish to record in real time, select either
arpeggiator A or B. If you specify an arpeggiator for two or
more tracks, the arpeggiator will play each of the tracks you
specify.
You can set A and B to two different MIDI channels, and
control one from the keyboard and the other from an
external MIDI device connected to MIDI IN. You can also
use multi-track recording (Multi REC) to simultaneously
record the note data that is generated from the two
arpeggiators.
