Korg Forums

I'm a newbie here and have only had my Krome for a week so there's a strong possibility that I'm being very stupid and missing something obvious...

I have created a User Arpeggio. It's very simple, just one octave with an eighth note resolution.

I've used it on a Program and it works fine. I can trigger it anywhere on the keyboard and it works as I expect.

I've now created a Combi and assigned my new Arpeggio as Arpeggio A. I've turned off Arpeggio B.

I've split the keyboard and set up a trigger zone to match one half of the split.

The Arpeggio is triggered by pressing keys from C0 to B3.

If I press a key from C0 to B2, the Arpeggio sounds as expected.

Any key from C3 to E3 the arpeggio plays but misses out one of the steps.

F3 to B4 the arpeggio only plays three of the steps.

I've checked every parameter I can find, scoured the manual and searched this forum but I can't see anything that might cause this behaviour. It's almost like there's a Swing value being increased as I climb the keyboard (or some Random feature being triggered) - but I have no idea where it might be or what's causing it.

Anyone encountered this before or able to suggest what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!!

One thing that comes to mind is perhaps the Key Zone Top Key / Bottom Key settings used to split the keyboard are preventing the playback of certain notes of the Arpeggiators by those timbres.

Also be sure on the arpeggio menu that you've got Arpeggiator Assign set to A or B selected for each timbre used to play the arpeggio.

And that was the answer, thank you.

I was asking the arpeggiator to play a fifth and an octave above the key pressed - if I press anything above C3 I'm asking it to play notes that are above the Key Zone I've set up.

D'oh.

Thanks for the prompt reply!

First of all, the arpeggio is better to play on different MIDI ch to can play free layering on it. So play on Gch and set the arp sound on different CH.
To can trigger the arp on any midi Ch following the next settings:
Set the Arp A on Timbre 16, MIDI Ch1 or GCh then select the Timbre Status to Off ! Set the Arp B on Timbre 15, MIDI Ch 1 or Gch and select the Timbre 15 Status to Off. Now can use a arp A and B on any MIDI Ch. Now select the Timbre 1 on Gch to can play free, select the Arp A on Timbre 2 MIDI Ch 2 for ARP A and set the trigger zone from ARP settings not from Timbre Zone .

Excellent - thank you for the suggestion, I'll give that a try.

There's so much functionality in this keyboard! I'm (mainly) getting it to do what I want but I suspect I'm barely scratching the surface

Thanks again - great tip
