14. THE ARRANGER
88
arrangement is currently playing when you select another row, you will see two hollow arrows on each
side of the newly selected row. They indicate that the selected row will start playing once the current row
finishes playing.
When playing the arrangement the header of the menu will display a counter indicating how many bars
and beats have played.
Insert an arrangement row by pressing [FUNC] + [DOWN]. Remove a row by pressing [FUNC] + [UP].
Use the [UP] and [DOWN] keys to select the arrangement row you wish to edit. The [LEFT] and
[RIGHT] keys move the focus between the columns.
ROW lists the available arrangement rows. An arrangement can consist of a maximum of 256 rows.
The arrangement is played from row 0 to the end row.
PAT displays which patterns are assigned to the rows. Move the focus to this column using the
[ARROW] keys. Set the pattern you want to be played on the arrangement row either by using the
LEVEL knob or by pressing the appropriate [BANK]/[PTN]+[TRIG] key combinations. Several special
commands are available in the PAT column.
• HALT forces the arrangement to stop at a given row. Turn the LEVEL knob anti-clockwise until the
location before pattern A01 is reached. “HALT:” will be displayed.
• LOOP makes a selection of the arrangement loop either infinitely or a fixed amount of times. Turn
the LEVEL knob anti-clockwise until the location before pattern A01 is reached. When “HALT:” ap-
pears, move the focus to the value located after “HALT:”. Turn the LEVEL knob one step anti-clock-
wise and “LOOP:” will appear. The arrangement section will now loop infinitely between row 000
and the row containing the loop command. To set a fixed amount of loop cycles, move the focus to
the infinity symbol and use the LEVEL knob to set the value. The arrangement section will loop the
specified number of times and once finished the arrangement row located below the loop point will
start playing. Loops can be nested.
• JUMP makes the arrangement jump to a new position. Turn the LEVEL knob anti-clockwise until
the location before pattern A01 is reached. When “HALT:” appears, move the focus to the value
located after “HALT:” Turn the LEVEL knob clockwise and “HALT:” will change to “JUMP:” Set the
row number the arrangement should jump to by using the LEVEL knob.
• REM adds text to the arrangement. This is only a visual cue and will not aect the timing of the
arrangement. Turn the LEVEL knob anti-clockwise until the location before pattern A01 is reached.
When “HALT:” appears, turn the knob one more step anti-clockwise and “REM:” will be displayed.
Press the [RIGHT] arrow key and then press [YES]. The naming window will open. Enter your text

REP is the column where the amount of times the arrangement row will be repeated is set. Move the
focus to this column by using the [ARROW] keys. Use the LEVEL knob to alter the number of repeats.
The number displayed to the right of the currently played pattern is a count down of how many repeti-
tions is left to play of the arrangement row.
OF sets the oset of the pattern. The pattern will start playing from the set step.
LN can be used to override the pattern length of the row. The default length is derived from the scale
setup settings of the pattern. Move the focus to this column by using the [ARROW] keys. Use the
LEVEL knob to alter the pattern length setting. If PER TRACK mode is used LN controls the MASTER
LENGTH setting. For more information please see “12.15 SCALE SETUP” on page 78.
SCENE consists of two columns where scenes can be assigned on a per row basis. The first column
sets the scene for the scene A slot. The second column sets the scene for the scene B slot. Move
the focus to these columns by using the [ARROW] keys. Use the LEVEL knob or press [SCENE A]/
[SCENE B] + [TRIG] to assign the scenes. The scenes are chosen from the part linked to the pattern
of the arrangement row.
T is where transpose values for the MIDI tracks of a pattern are set. Move the focus to the T column
and press [YES] to open the MIDI TRANSPOSE window. Navigate between the MIDI tracks using the
left and right [ARROW] keys. Use the LEVEL knob to set the transpose value. If MIDI track transpose
is set for a row, it is indicated by a “T“ in the T column.
B allows individual BPM settings for the arrangement rows. Move the focus to the B column and press
[YES] to open the ROW TEMPO window. Set the BPM with the LEVEL knob. Turning LEVEL count-
er-clockwise to the first setting, PATTERN makes the row use the PATTERN tempo setting. Rows with
dedicated BPM settings are indicated with a “B”. If no setting is made in this column, the pattern will
play according to the PROJECT tempo setting.
