Learning to Play by Playing (For Synthesizer Novices)

E-14

There are a variety of different built-in arpeggio types. You

can select one the same way as you select a preset tone, edit

it, and then save it as a user arpeggio type. Let’s go over the

procedure for selecting a preset arpeggio type.

• The arpeggios of this Synthesizer are divided into 10 type

groups called “banks”. There are a total of 10 arpeggio

banks numbered 0 through 9, with 10 arpeggios in each

bank for a total of 100 arpeggios.

Hold down

ARPEGGIO until the screen shown below

appears on the display.

Now rotate the

dial and select a preset phrase type the

same way you select a tone (page E-11).

For details about arpeggios, see “Sounding Arpeggios

Automatically” on page E-40.

To give you an idea about what a musical phrase is, let’s

listen to a preset phrase.

Hold down

KEY PLAY until the screen shown below

appears on the display.

Press

PLAY/STOP. This will start playback of one of the

Synthesizer’s built-in preset phrases. Next, try rotating the

dial and selecting other preset phrases.

Instead of using

PLAY/STOP, you can also start playback

of a phrase by pressing a key on the keyboard. Let’s see how

this works.

First, press

KEY PLAY so the button becomes lit.

This is Key Play Mode. Pressing a keyboard key while in the

Key Play Mode will automatically start playback of a phrase.

Pressing another key will play the phrase using a different

pitch. In the Key Play Mode, the keyboard can be used to

sequentially play a phrase at different pitches to create an

interesting effect.

The Phrase Sequencer main chapter covers information

about how you can record your own phrases and play them

back when you want to. For more information see “Recording

a New Phrase” on page E-47.

Let’s start out our explanation of the Step Sequencer by

listening to some preset sequence data.

Press

STEP SEQ to enter the Step Sequencer Mode.
