Arpeggio Tab
Simple arpeggiator editing
The arpeggiator is a function that automatically gener-
ates arpeggios (broken chords). Most arpeggiators pro-
duce an arpeggio when you play a chord on the
keyboard.
In addition to this, the TRITON Extreme’s arpeggiator is
a polyphonic arpeggiator that is able to produce a vari-
ety of chordal transformations or phrases based on the
pitch or timing of the notes you play on the keyboard.
These functions let you use the arpeggiator to play a
wide range of patterns including drum or bass phrases,
and guitar or keyboard backing riffs. It is also effective to
use the arpeggiator as part of the sound-creating process
when creating subtly-moving pads, synth-sounds, or
sound effects.
The TRITON Extreme provides five preset arpeggio pat-
terns (the standard UP, DOWN, ALT1, ALT2, and RAN-
DOM), and lets you create, program and store 507 user
arpeggio patterns; and 367 of these user arpeggiator
locations contain preloaded patterns. (☞OG p.98)
Changing a program’s arpeggiator Pattern
1
Press the [PROG] key.
You’re in the Program mode. Make sure that the dis-
play shows Program P0: Play.
If a different screen is shown, press the [EXIT] key.
2
Select a program.
3
Press the ARPEGGIATOR [ON/OFF] key (it will
light).
When you play the keyboard, the arpeggiator will
produce an arpeggio pattern such as an arpeggio
(broken chord) or backing riff.
Normally, when you select a new program, the arpeg-
giator will use the arpeggiator pattern saved with that
program. If you want to keep the current arpeggio pat-
tern running while you switch programs, you can
change this setting in “Auto Arpeggiator” (Global P0:
Basic Setup, Basic page). (
☞OG p.90)

Press the Arpeggio tab.

In “Pat (Pattern Select),” press the popup button
and select an arpeggio pattern from the menu.
You can press the Pin icon to keep the menu open while
you are selecting a pattern.
You can choose from preset arpeggio patterns P000–
P004 and user arpeggio patterns U000 (A/B)–U506
(User). With the factory settings, these contain a wide
range of arpeggio patterns. (
☞VNL)
The arpeggio pattern names are organized by type
according to the first characters of the name.
Gt: guitar backing, Key: keyboard backing, Str: strings,
Bs: bass phrases, Ds: drum phrases, etc.

the [ENTER] key a few times at the desired tempo
(“Tap-Tempo”). The LED will blink at the specified
tempo.
