TUTORIAL 6 - ADDING AN ARPEGGIO

5. Flip the rack back and play a few chords.

The notes in the chord you play are now arpeggiated for as long as you hold down the keys. The ar-

peggio will change directly if you release all notes and play another note or chord. If you add notes

while holding down a chord, the arpeggio will continue with the added notes. The arpeggio will play in

sync with song tempo by default in new RPG-8 devices.

D Try changing the arpeggiator mode using the Mode knob.

The various modes govern how the notes are arpeggiated. For example “Up” means from lowest note

to highest note, Up+Down from lowest to highest note, then back down to lowest note again.

• The Octave buttons set the octave range of the arpeggio.

E.g. if set to 2 Oct the pattern will play over two octaves and so on.

• The Rate sets the rate of the arpeggio pattern - in the current Rate mode (Sync) the rate

will synced to the sequencer tempo in various beat resolutions.

Experiment with these basic parameters if you like.

6. Start playback and play suitable chords to accompany the song.

As Loop is activated the set bars will repeat for as long you are in Play mode.

7. To record the notes you play, press Stop, rewind to the beginning and make sure Pre-

count (the “Pre” button on the transport panel) is activated.

Pre-count was described in Tutorial 4 and should still be on.

Note that you have to enter the first chord after recording starts (i.e. when the one bar count-in is fin-

ished) - if you hold a chord and then enter record, the notes generating the arpeggio will not be re-

corded, although you can hear the arpeggio. This is because you are not recording the actual notes

generated by the arpeggiator, only the notes you play.

8. Stop recording, rewind to the top of the song and start playback.

The arpeggio will now play back exactly as you heard it when recording. You can still change RPG-8

parameters freely. Changes will be reflected in the arpeggio although the recorded notes that gener-

ate the arpeggio will be the same.

D The RPG-8 has many more features not covered in this tutorial - please refer to the RPG-

8 chapter in the Operation Manual for a full description of the RPG-8.
