fogie Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Here's a good question that may or may not have been asked before--- How does one set up a split that say, has a bassline and chill beat in the bottom two octaves (the bassline changes root when playing a different key, but beat stays the same), and having like, a nice Rhodes or Wurly up top? Mainly want this for R&B, chill, easy funk and soul jamming along... and being able to change key or whatever, would help for chord comping and such. Another thing I was wondering about is--- can the PX-5s create the same thing, but possibly have different basslines for each key? Like maybe 8 different keys/8 different basslines (same beat, maybe a beat variation for the other 4 keys), in the same Stage Setting? Thanks guys!

Brad Saucier Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Check out factory stage settings that end in 9, which are already setup for something similar. An example using three zones..... Zone 1- drums, arpeggiator enabled, set to hold and playing a drum phrase set to note, fix. Zone 2 - bass, arpeggiator enabled, set to hold and playing a bass phrase set to note, key. Zone 3 - Rhodes Edit zone key ranges to fit how you want. Your last question....The answer is no. Each key cannot be a different bass line. The midi phrase assigned to that zone determines the bass line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcoKava Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Sorry BradMZ, where are the "hold" and "set to note" functions? Cannot find them. In the zone edit there is only the arpeggio enable. The arpeggio hold function is only in the common edit... and "set to note"? Thanks, Marco from Italy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 The long line above the arpeggio button reads "hold". Pess both buttons under the line to enable hold. On the arpeggio type select screen, NOTE should be set to KEY, not FIX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcoKava Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Thank you! I was in total confusion! I am trying to program the synth arpeggio of "I feel love" by G.Moroder/Donna Summer and I m going to be crazy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fogie Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 Thanks for your help! It's a year later... had to sell my PX-5s due to bills, but picked it up again. Sad thing is... I thought for SURE that I backed up this Stage Setting that I made... but nope... no such luck. Gotta redo it entirely. Ah well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
