Arpeggiator/Beats Menu
PX-7 can run up to 32 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 sequencer, the number of musical permutations is
staggering!
Beats mode (page 259) 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!
