Using the arpeggiator

Playing arpeggios
The arpeggiator function automatically plays all the notes of a held chord as individual events in a
repeating rhythmic pattern. The microKORG2's arpeggiator has ten arpeggio types and a number of
parameters like the note length (gate time) that can be adjusted. The “Step Arpeggiator” functional-
ity also allows you to instantly turn up to eight steps on and off to create an even wider range of per-
formance possibilities.
1 Press the ARPEGGIATOR ON button to turn on the arpeggiator.
2 Hold down a chord on the keyboard to make the arpeggio play.
3 Set the tempo by pressing the TEMPO button a number of times.
4 Long-press the ARPEGGIATOR ON button to turn the latch on. When the latch is on, the arpeg-
giator keeps playing even after you release the keys.
Modifying the arpeggio
1 Press the EDIT ARP A button to select the ARP A, B page.
2 Use the EDIT CONTROL 1–5 knobs to change the way that the arpeggiator plays.
This lets you add a swing feel to the rhythm, change the arpeggio type as well as the number of
steps.
See the following page for details. → ARP A, B
Turning a step on/off
• Press the PROGRAM NUMBER 1–8 buttons to turn on/off the arpeggio notes for up to eight steps.
Pressing a button to turn off the LED changes the note for that step into a rest, which makes the
arpeggiator play differently.
