PART/ELEMENT Now try assigning different Arpeggio Type and Drum Voice settings. There are many different drum patterns available. Arpeggio Types are divided into the five following categories and applications are not just limited to drum patterns. You can also select Arpeggio Types for backing chords, basslines and so on. Next, why not try out Arpeggio Types with Normal Voices and Phrase Clips? When setting the Arpeggio Category to Ct (Control), you also need to set the Key Mode parameter (two screens ahead) to "direct." Sq (Sequence): Creates a general arpeggio phrase. Mainly octave up/down phrases. Ph (Phrase): Creates more musical phrases than Sq. Starting with "Techno," there are phrases for a wide variety of musical genres, and for creating backing tracks for guitar, piano and other instruments. Dr (Drum Pattern): Creates drum pattern-type phrases. Phrase genres covered include rock and dance. This Type is ideal for use with drum and percussion sounds. Cl (Phrase Clip): Select this type to a Clip Kit that is assigned with loop-mixed or loop-divided Phrase Clips, to create a new arpeggio pattern. Ct (Control): Creates tonal changes. No note information is created. The Key Mode parameter in Arpeggio Mode must be set to "direct." Details about Arpeggio Types are given in the separate Data List. You can also use a foot switch (optional) to switch the Arpeggiator on and off (CS6x). Details about assigning parameters to the foot switch are given on Pages 53, 165. 43
