Playing with the RPPR (Realtime Pattern
Play/Recording) function
This instrument’s Sequencer mode provides an RPPR
(Realtime Pattern Play/Recording) function.
Using the RPPR function, each note of the keyboard
can be assigned to a preset pattern or user pattern and
a track that will play the assigned pattern. You can then
playback the assigned pattern in realtime (and record
it, if desired) simply by playing a note. (Preset patterns
suitable for playing by the drum track are already pro-
vided in internal memory.)
In this section, we will explain how to load an RPPR
demo song, and play it.
1 From the included floppy disk “KMFD-00P,” load
“PRELOAD.SNG.”
Load “PRELOAD.SNG” as described in “Loading a
demo song in Disk mode” (☞p.18).
2 Press the [SEQ] key (LED lit) to enter Sequencer
mode, and access the SEQ 1.1: Play/REC, Play/REC
page.
3 In “Song Select,” select 006:FEVER.
Select the song as described in “Selecting and play-
ing a demo song in Sequencer mode” (☞p.19).
4 Make sure that the RPPR check box is checked.
Checked: The specified RPPR (set in SEQ 5.1:PPPR,
RPPR Setup) will function.
Unchecked: RPPR will not function. Operation will
be as in normal Sequencer mode.
5 Press a key.
The pattern assigned to that key will playback.
In some cases, the pattern will continue playing
after you release your hand from the keyboard. You
can stop playback either by pressing that key once
again, or by pressing a key in the area of C2 or
below.
Shutdown Keys:
When you play a key in the range of C–1 – C2, the cur-
rently-playing pattern will stop.
Pattern Assignable:
A pattern and track can be assigned to each of the 72
keys in the range of C#2–C8. If you do not assign a key,
it can be used to play as usual.
As in the example shown in the following diagram,
you can make one key play a drums pattern, another
key a bass phrase, and yet another key play guitar
chords, all by specifying a different pattern and track
for each key.
