Posted: Wed Mar 04, 2020 7:05 pm Post subject: Create arp pattern using common step sequencer help request |
|
|
Despite having the original Kronos since it was first released, I stopped gigging with it shortly after getting it and went with the M50. Why? I play several songs that require a specific arp pattern (Major Tom for example). I know this can be achieved using the step sequencer but for the life of me, I can't get it working right.
Anybody here a whiz at it that can lend a hand in creating a very basic pattern?
Thanks!

p.s. Yes I know I can purchase the Karma software and do it but that isn't an option for me. _________________ Current Korg Gear: KRONOS 88 (4GB), M50-73 (PS mod), RADIAS-73, Electribe MX, Triton Pro (MOSS, SCSI, CF, 64MB RAM), SQ-64, DVP-1, MEX-8000, MR-1, KAOSSilator, nanoKey, nanoKontrol, 3x nanoPad 2, 3x DS1H, 7x PS1, FC7 (yes Korg, NOT Yamaha). |

I'm going to presume you mean Peter Schilling's Major Tom...
Sorting out the right setup for the common step seq:
1. Assign the Step Sequencer as an AMS source for Pitch.
2. Set the AMS intensity to +25.
Each increment of 4 equals a semitone.
So what you want is, I think:
0, 48, 40, 48, 20, 28, 40, 48,
0, 48, 40, 48, 12, 48, 8, 48
I can't test this because I don't have a Kronos... but that should be the melodic pattern. |

No problem with the accuracy of the Major Tom notes. I just need to learn how to do it. When I get home I'll give this a shot.

You nailed it. Within just a few minutes I got it working the way I wanted. My issue was figuring out how to make the patch use the step sequencer to adjust pitch (and I didn't know it was 4 semitones per note).
Thanks!
