Playing Patterns with One Finger (RPS)
Normally, pressing a key on the MIDI keyboard will play only the note that was pressed. However RPS
(Real-time Phrase Sequence) is a function that plays back a variety of musical patterns when a key is
pressed, instead of the note for that key. If there are musical passages that you need to play repeatedly,
you can assign each pattern to a key, and then play the desired pattern simply by pressing one key.
First let’s listen to the patterns which are assigned to each key.
1 Select the Performance P1: 88 (p.23).
2 Press PANEL SELECT [LOWER].
By playing the MIDI keyboard, you will hear the Lower Patch sound. Let’s play the patterns using this sound.
3 Press the ARPEGGIATOR/RPS section [ON].
The indicator will light.
4 Press [MODE] several times to select RPS.
The RPS indicator will light.
5 Press various keys and listen to the pattern that plays back for each key.
These are assigned to the forty-eight keys from C#2 (note number 37)–C6 (note number 84).
The pattern will continue repeating as long as you hold down the key.
6 Rotate [TEMPO] to adjust the tempo to your liking.
7 Press [HOLD].
The indicator will light and the pattern will continue playing even if you take your hand off the keyboard.
8
Select a pattern that you like, and modify the sound using the FILTER section [CUTOFF FREQ] etc.
9 To stop the pattern, press a key outside the range of C#2–C6, or press [HOLD] once again.
By pressing a key outside the range of C#2–C6, you can stop the pattern while leaving Hold on.
