Creating an user arpeggio pattern<br />
About user arpeggio patterns<br />
The patterns that can be selected on the <strong>TRITON</strong><br />
<strong>Extreme</strong>’s arpeggiator are called “arpeggio patterns.”<br />
There are two types of arpeggio patterns: preset arpeggio<br />
patterns and user arpeggio patterns.<br />
Preset arpeggio patterns:<br />
There are five patterns; UP, DOWN, ALT1, ALT2, and<br />
RANDOM.<br />
The operation of these patterns is fixed, and cannot be<br />
edited.<br />
User arpeggio patterns:<br />
There are 507 patterns - U000(A/B)–U506(User) - which<br />
can develop chords or phrases in a wide variety of ways,<br />
based on the pitches that you play on the keyboard or the<br />
timing at which you play them.<br />
In Global P6: User Arpeggio, Pattern setup you can modify<br />
these user arpeggio patterns, or create a new user<br />
arpeggio pattern from an initialized condition. Edited<br />
user arpeggio patterns can be written to internal memory<br />
areas U000(A/B)–U506(User) (☞p.116).<br />
In Media mode, user arpeggio patterns can also saved to<br />
media.<br />
Editing a user arpeggio pattern<br />
If you want to edit a user arpeggio pattern, you must<br />
first make sure that memory protect is unchecked.<br />
(☞p.115)<br />
If you enter this mode from the Program mode, your editing<br />
will apply to the arpeggio pattern specified for the<br />
selected program.<br />
1 In Program mode, select a program for which the<br />
arpeggio pattern you wish to edit is selected, or a program<br />
that you wish to use as a basis for editing the<br />
arpeggio pattern.<br />
2 Press the ARPEGGIATOR [ON/OFF] key to turn the<br />
arpeggiator on (the key will light).<br />
Even if you moved to Global mode from a program in<br />
which the arpeggiator was turned off, you can use the<br />
ARPEGGIATOR [ON/OFF] key to turn it on.<br />
3 Select the Global P6: User Arpeggio, Pattern Setup<br />
page.<br />
4 “Arpeggiator Select” will automatically be set to A<br />
when you move here from Program mode.<br />
5 In “Pattern,” select the arpeggio pattern that you<br />
wish to edit.<br />
For this example, select an empty user arpeggio pattern.<br />
If a blank pattern is selected, playing the keyboard<br />
will not start an arpeggio. Although preset arpeggio<br />
patterns P000–P004 can be selected, they cannot be<br />
edited.<br />
When you edit a user arpeggio pattern, the changes<br />
will have an effect anytime that this pattern is used in<br />
Program, Combination, Song or Song Play modes.<br />
6 In “Length,” specify the length of the pattern.<br />
After the pattern has played for the length specified, it<br />
will return to the beginning. This setting can also be<br />
changed during or after editing. For this example, set it<br />
to 08.<br />
For the preload arpeggio patterns U000(A/B)–<br />
U488(User), simply changing the “Length” can significantly<br />
change the character of the pattern. Try changing<br />
the length and listening to the result.<br />
7 Make settings for the “ (Tempo),” “Resolution,”<br />
“Octave,” “Sort,” “Latch,” “Key Sync.,” and “Keyboard”<br />
parameters.<br />
These are program parameters, but can be set from<br />
here as well.<br />
If after moving here from Program mode, you modify<br />
these parameters and wish to keep your changes,<br />
return to Program mode and write the program.<br />
These parameters are not saved by “Write Arpeggio<br />
Pattern.”<br />
For this example, make the settings shown in the<br />
LCD screen on step 3.<br />
8 In Arpeggio Pattern Setup, specify how the arpeggio<br />
will be developed.<br />
These settings can be changed during or after editing<br />
(☞PG p.171).<br />
9 Select the Pattern Edit page.<br />
A pattern consists of Steps and Tones.<br />
• Step: A user arpeggio pattern can have a maximum of<br />
48 steps. The arpeggiator will play from the first step,<br />
in steps equal to the timing value specified by<br />
“Resolution.” The vertical lines of the grid shown in<br />
the center of the LCD screen indicate the steps.<br />
Use “Step No.” to select the step. For each step, specify<br />
“Pitch Offset,” “Gate,” “Velocity” and “Flam.”
