Arp/Beats Menu

XK-6's Beats mode allows you to trigger, latch and unlatch synced loops
and grooves from separate keys on your keyboard. Simply select a bts:
preset and play the 16 trigger keys to bring specific Parts in and out. This is
Macro-Music!
XK-6 can also run up to 16 simultaneously synced arpeggiators, each with a
different preset sound. The arpeggiators can either play one of 7 chord
arpeggios or can be set to play a pattern, which is a stored sequence of
notes. Combined with Beats, the sheer number of musical permutations is
staggering!
To enable the Arpeggiator/Beats menu:
Press the Arp button, lighting the LED. The Arp screen displays the menu
page most recently selected since powering up XK-6. The cursor appears
below the first character of the screen heading on line one.
To select a new screen:
Press the Home/Enter button or press the Cursor button repeatedly until
the cursor is below the screen title heading on the top line of the display.
Rotate the data entry control to select another screen.
To modify a parameter:
Press either Cursor button repeatedly (or hold down the right cursor button
while turning the data entry control) until the cursor is below the desired
parameter value. Rotate the data entry control to change the value.
To access a submenu:
The Master Arpeggiator screens have submenus which are accessed by
pressing the cursor buttons to move the cursor to the lower left corner of
the display. Select the submenu function using the data entry control.
To save Arpeggiator parameters:
Press the front panel Multi button and scroll to "Save Setup To". Select a
Setup number and press Enter. See "Saving Multisetups" on page 42.
To return to the previously selected Mode/View screen:
Press the Arp/Beats button, turning off the LED.
