Arpeggiators

Arpeggiators An arpeggiator moves a pattern of notes sequentially over a range of the

keyboard. PX-7 has the unique ability to play a different arpeggiator on

each MIDI channel!

Arpeggiator settings can be deﬁned as part of the preset (using the Arp

parameters in the Preset Edit menu), or globally in the Master Arpeggiator

menu. The preset and master arpeggiators have the same parameters which

we deﬁne in this chapter.

The Arp ﬁeld in the main screen deﬁnes which arpeggiator settings will be

used. “M” uses the master Arpeggiator settings and on/off status (as deﬁned

in the Master Arpeggiator menu). “P” uses the preset’s arpeggiator settings

and on/off status (as deﬁned in the Preset menu). Choosing “On” uses the

preset’s arpeggiator settings regardless of whether or not it is turned on in

the Edit menu and Off turns off the arpeggiator regardless of the settings

and status speciﬁed in either menu.

SAVE your Arp setups

and name them using the “Save

Setup To” function located in the

Global menu. See“Saving

Multisetups” on page 147.

All arpeggiators share PX-7’s master clock and its current setting. The

master clock can be PX-7’s internal clock or an external MIDI clock

(page 160). Although the arpeggiators use the master clock setting, the

tempo divisor can be unique for each arpeggiator setup.

Arpeggiator modes include up, up/down, forward assign, backward assign,

forward/backward assign and random as well as play Patterns. Patterns are

pre-recorded sequences of notes and rests. All key-on notes play the

pattern. For example, if you play a chord, all the notes in the chord play the

pattern in harmony. PX-7 contains 200 factory patterns and 100 user

deﬁnable patterns.
