Arpeggio structure
The following illustration indicates the data structure of the Arpeggio.
Arpeggio types
The MOTIF-RACK XS features 6,633 Arpeggio types (in 17 categories) including Synthesizer, Piano, Guitar, Bass, Strings, Drum, etc.
For details, see the Arpeggio Block in the Basic Structure on page 53.
Arpeggio playback
The Arpeggio can be played back only when the MOTIF-RACK
XS receives Note On messages from an external MIDI device or
DAW software. After connecting the MIDI keyboard to the
MOTIF-RACK XS, follow the instructions below to play the
Arpeggio.
1.
Set the “Audition Button” parameter to “arpeggio
sw” (page 99) in the Utility General window (called
up via [UTILITY]
→
select “General”
→
[ENTER]).
2.
Press the [VOICE] button to enter the Voice mode,
then select the desired Voice in the Voice Play
display.
3.
Press the [AUDITION] button so that the lamp lights.
This operation enables the Arpeggio function.
n If the “Arp Sw” parameter of the Voice has been already set to on,
the lamp of the [AUDITION] button lights immediately when the
Voice is selected.
4.
Play the external MIDI keyboard connected to the
MOTIF-RACK XS.
How the Arpeggio playback responds to incoming notes
may differ depending on the Arpeggio type assigned to
the selected Voice. While referring to page 55, play the
note or notes with various styles—only a single note,
various notes simultaneously, same notes in various order,
etc. You can hear the various Arpeggio phrases or rhythm
patterns. Depending on the Arpeggio type, you may also
trigger the special Accent Phrase by pressing the note
strongly (with high velocities).
n Some Arpeggio types include the Control Change messages. When
you play back such an Arpeggio type, the sound of the current Voice
may inadvertently be changed and the [E] indicator may appear in
the top right of the display.
5.
Press the [EDIT] button, select “Arpeggio,” then
press the [ENTER] button.
The Arp Select display appears.
