Using RPPR (Realtime Pattern Play/Record)
This section explains how to assign a pattern to RPPR, and
how to play and record using RPPR.
Creating RPPR data
1. Create a new song, and choose a drum program for
MIDI track 1.
2. Select the SEQUENCER > Pattern/RPPR-RPRR
Setup page. In this page, the RPPR function is
automatically turned on.
3. Select the key to which the pattern will be assigned.
Select C#2. Hold down the ENTER button and play a
key, or use the scroll bar located at the right to find the
key.
Note: C2 and lower keys are used to stop playback, and
cannot be assigned.
4. Check “Assign” for C#2.
5. Set “Bank” to Preset, and set “Pattern Name” to
P001.
6. Set “Track Name” to T01.
The selected pattern will be played according to the
settings (program, etc.) of the track you select here.
7. With the C#2 parameter selected, press the Copy
button.
8. Assign patterns to other keys.
Select the D2 parameter, and press the Paste button.
The “Assign,” “Bank,” “Pattern Name,” “Track Name,”
“Mode,” “Shift,” and “Sync” settings you made in steps 5
and 6 will be copied automatically.
9. Modify only the “Pattern Name.” Select “Pattern
Name,” and press the + button to select P002.
10.Select the D#2 parameter, and press the Paste button.
The “Assign,” “Bank,” “Pattern Name,” “Track Name,”
“Mode,” “Shift,” and “Sync” settings you made in steps 5
and 6 will be copied automatically.
Similar to step 9, set “Pattern” to P003.
Note: When making RPPR settings, you can use the
Copy button and Paste button in this way to efficiently
assign the “Bank,” “Pattern Name,” and “Track Name”
etc. to each key.
11.As described above, assign several other patterns such
as P004 and higher.
12.Press the C#2 key. The assigned pattern will play.
Take your finger off the C#2 key, and press the D2 key.
The pattern will change, and playback will begin. At this
time, the pattern operation will depend on the “Sync” and
“Mode” setting.
Set “KEY” to C#2, and set “Sync” to Measure. Make the
same setting for D2 (See the diagram below).
Now press the notes consecutively. Notice that the
patterns operate in a different way.
With the “Measure” setting, patterns will be handled in
one-measure units. The second and subsequent patterns
will start in sync with the end of previously played
pattern.
If you change the “Mode” setting to Once, the entire
pattern will playback to the end even if you release your
finger from the keyboard immediately.
13.To stop playback, either press the same key once
again, or press the C2 or lower key.
