Chapter 3 Giving Variation to Pattern

Adding expression to the arpeggio

(ACCENT RATE)

By modifying the accent strength and note length, you can

change the sense of groove of the arpeggio. Adjust this

setting over the range 0–100.

Range: 0–100

Higher settings will strengthen the sense of groove. Lower

settings will decrease the amount of expression.

Changing the octave range for

playback in arpeggio style

(OCTAVE RANGE)

You can specify the pitch range in which the arpeggio will be

developed, in steps of one octave.

Range: -3– +3

Setting a value greater than zero causes playback to be

performed in the range above the key range where the chord

is being played.

Setting a value below zero causes playback to be performed

in the range below the key range in which the chord is being

played.

* If you want the arpeggio to consist only of the notes you hold,

set this to 0.

Saving Arpeggio Settings

(Arpeggio Write)

Once an arpeggio style is created and saved, you can readily

use it next time on by simply invoking it.

First, create an arpeggio style, referring to the previous

section, “Defining more refined settings.”

Procedure

Bring up the set-up screen for Arpeggiator.

1. Press the [SYSTEM] button.

2. Press the [F3 (WR)] button.

3. Select the screen with “5 ARPEGGIATOR” using the

[CURSOR (up/down)] buttons.

4. Press the [F1 (ARP)] button.

The “ARPEGIATOR WRITE” screen appears.

5. Select the destination user style in which the created style

is to be saved using the [VALUE] dial or the [INC/DEC]

buttons. Up to ten styles can be saved using USER

STYLES 1 to 10.

6. Press the [F4 (OK)] button.

An “ARE YOU SURE?” message appears.

7. Press [F4 (EXEC)] button.

SAVE operation is executed.

Arpeggiator can also be played from an external MIDI

keyboard, as well as from the keyboard pads.

- refer to "Playing back arpeggio on the MC-307 using an

external MIDI keyboard "(p. 134).

Modifying the Groove of a

Pattern (Play Quantize)

What is a Play Quantize?

This function modifies the groove of the pattern playback

data. With this function, you can change the play timings

and velocities (volume) of playback data in the pattern to

create a performance with a groove different from that of the

original pattern.

The MC-307 provides three types of quantization (Grid,

Shuffle, Groove), which you can use as appropriate for your

situation. You can apply Play Quantize to a specified part

while a pattern plays back, and make detailed timing

adjustments in real time while you listen to the playback.

Correcting Inaccuracies in

Rhythm (Grid Quantize)

Grid Quantize corrects notes according to the template with

the playback timing of the pattern specified. You can correct

timings alone to eliminate playing discord and to play back

the pattern with accurate timing.

Procedure

1. Press the [SYSTEM] button.

The menu screen for system setting appears.

2. Press the [F1 (SYS)] button.

3. Press the [CURSOR (up/down)] buttons to select the

screen with “7 PLAY QUANTIZE” displayed.

4. Press [F3 (QTZ)] button.
