MOTIF Classic: Loading an Arpeggio

In order to demonstrate loading an Arpeggio, we've provided a couple of items from the KEYFAX "Natural Instrument Articulation" collection © 2002 KEYFAX NewMedia.

ARP_DEMS.W2G
ARP_DEMS.W3G
For the above in a .sit folder Download here.

WARNING:Loading this file will OVERWRITE any User ARPs you already have loaded. Please make sure you have saved your own work to SmartMedia or other SCSI storage media before loading this file.

  1. Copy both ARP_DEMs.W2G and ARP_DEMS.W3G onto your SmartMedia or other SCSI storage device.
  2. Insert the Card into the Motif.
  3. Press [FILE] and select userARP in Left Hand (File Type) screen.
  4. Find the file ARP_DEMS.W2G in the Right Hand screen, highlight it and press [ENTER].

HEARING THE ARPS

  1. Select any keyboard Voice and press [F6 ARP].
  2. Move the cursor to the top of the screen, highlight "Pre1" (the BANK parameter) and spin the dial until it says "user."
  3. Move the cursor down to the TYPE parameter, and spin the dial all the way to the left until it says "Bach003."
  4. Press the ARPEGGIO ON/OFF button so the light comes on, and hold down three or four notes on the keyboard.

Didn't know you could play so well, did you?

The other two User ARPs are a guitar strumming pattern, and a sax lick. Call up a guitar Voice, then [F6 ARP] and call up the Strum ARP. You get different patterns by holding down different numbers of notes. If you want the strum to keep going, set the HOLD [VOICE] - [F6 ARP] parameter to ON.

Similarly, call up a wind Voice and call up the Sax ARP. The Sax ARP is best played by stabbing four notes at a time.
