Arpeggiator function
76
Select the arpeggiator(s) that will run
Use the Arpeggiator Run setting to enable the arpeggiator(s)
that you want to use. The arpeggiator(s) that this is on will
run when the ARP button is on.
However, the arpeggiator will only play a timbre if the table
next to the check boxes assigns arpeggiator A or B to a
timbre: T 1–16. You change these settings in C-ARP>
ASSIGN page Arpeggiator Assign. (see page 76)
Arpeggiator-A, Arpeggiator-B
For each arpeggiator A and B, you can adjust settings for
Pattern Select, Resolution, Octave, Sort, Latch, Key
Sync, and Keyboard. (see page 74)
Arpeggiator settings in Combination
and Sequencer modes
In Combination and Sequencer modes, you can use two
arpeggio patterns simultaneously, thanks to the KROSS’s
dual arpeggiator functionality. The settings in each of these
modes are adjusted in a similar way.
The following example shows how to adjust settings in
Combination mode.
The dual arpeggiator functionality lets you do the following
things.
• Assign an arpeggiator for each timbre. Choose from Off,
(arpeggiator) A, or (arpeggiator) B. →step 5
• Independently specify whether A and B will run.
→step 6
• Select an arpeggio pattern and set parameters
independently for A and B. →step 7
• Select Scan Zone page settings so that you can use the
keyboard range or playing velocity to switch between
normal playing and arpeggiated playing, or to switch
between arpeggiators A and B. →step 8
• Adjust settings for timbres that will be silent when the
arpeggiator is Off, and will sound only when the
arpeggiator is On. →step 10
Arpeggiator settings
1. Select COMBI> PROG page.
Select programs for the timbres that you wish to use. For
this example, select any desired program for timbres 1–4.
For the timbres that you want to use, set their Status to
INT. For this example, set Status to INT for timbres 1–4,
and Off for timbres 5–16.
2. Access the C-TIMBRE> MIDI page.
Set the MIDI Channel to match the Gch or global MIDI
channel (set in G-MIDI> BASIC page MIDI Channel).
For timbres 1–4, set MIDI Channel to Gch.
3. Access the C-ARP> ASSIGN page.
4. Set “Temp” to specify the tempo.
This is the same as for a program. However, the tempo is
shared by both arpeggiators A and B.
5. Adjust “ARP Assign” settings.
Assign arpeggiator A or B to the desired timbres. Each
timbre will be played by the arpeggiator that has been
assigned to it.
6. In the C-ARP> A, B pages, set the Run (Arpeggiator
Run) parameter.
Turn this on for the arpeggiator(s) that you want to use.
The arpeggiator(s) checked here will run when the ARP
button is turned on.
With the settings shown in the display for steps 2 and 3,
turning the ARP button on will cause arpeggiator A to
run for timbre 1, and arpeggiator B to run for timbres 2
and 3. When the ARP button is turned off, timbres 1–4
will sound as a layer.
If all timbres ARP Assign status are set to Off, or if Run
(Arpeggiator Run) is unchecked, the arpeggiator will not
function.
7. On the C-ARP> A, B pages, set the parameters for
arpeggiators A and B.
The parameters for A and B are the same as for a
program. (see page 74)
8. In the Scan Zone A/B page, specify the range in which
arpeggiators A and B will function.
The parameters for A and B are the same as for a
program.
You can use keyboard ranges or velocity ranges to use
one or both of the arpeggiators, or to switch between
arpeggiators A and B. By using the C-ZONE/DELAY>
KEY ZONE, and VEL ZONE page to set keyboard and
velocity ranges in conjunction with each other, you can
create even more variations.
9. If you wish to save the edited combination settings in
internal memory, turn off memory protect in Global/
