Multi-Channel

Arpeggiator

PX-7 is totally unique in its ability to run up to 32 arpeggiators at once!

Even two or three patterns at once can create very complex sequences and

dynamic landscapes of sound.

Here’s one way to access this ultra-powerful feature. There is one arpeg-

giator for each MIDI channel. First you’ll assign three of the Trigger Keys to

MIDI channels 01A-03A. Next, you’ll assign arpeggiator presets to these

channels. Then you’ll become addicted to this new way of making music.

Program the Trigger Keys

1. Press the Controllers button, then turn the data entry control until the

screen shown below appears.

Make sure the “Trigger

Buttons Function” in the

Controllers menu is set to “Play

Note Events”.

2. Move the cursor until it is underneath the Latch ﬁeld and turn Latch

mode On.

3. Move the cursor until it is underneath the Channel ﬁeld (Ch) and set

the channel to 01A.

4. Move the cursor until it is underneath the Trigger ﬁeld (T1) and

change the Trigger to T2 (trigger button 2).

5. Turn Latch On for trigger button 2 and set the channel to 02A.

6. Change the Trigger to T3 (trigger button 3).

7. Turn Latch On for trigger button 3 and set the channel to 03A.

Set up the Presets

8. Press the Preset View button (located beneath the LCD). The preset

select screen appears.

9. Move the cursor underneath the Category ﬁeld (as shown above) and

select the “arp” category.

10. Move the cursor underneath the preset name and select any “arp”

preset for channel 1A.
