Synth Tips | Creating a simple User Arpeggio | MODX/MONTAGE 

God ... having a montage must be like being in heaven.

A useful feature, dizzying path through menus.

For 3 years now I am using Montage. All the functions and features I explored so far work well, however at the arpeggio part I am struggling. There are 3 types of arpeggio: fixed , normal and original notes. The fixed note function works well with the drums, but with any other instrument channel, like a bass or any other instrument which has chord patterns, all the three functions mentioned about is not accurate. If the chord changes are not 100% in time and on the first beat of the bar, than the notes from the pattern are shifted and come later. However, in the user memory of the instrument, I found an arpeggio type, that works just like what I would like to do. For example, with MA_8Beat Slow_C arpeggio it does not matter on what beat I am changing the chords, all the instruments come smoothly in the right time from the arpeggio pattern, without any note shift and independent from the midi note length. My question is, how could I create an arpeggio like MA_8Beat Slow_C on my instrument? Regards,

This is super useful. Thanks!

Short & useful ....

Doesn't seem very simple to me?

Thank you! This is the kick in the butt I needed to create the songs that have been in my head for ages!

Great video, to the point. Just wanted to know.....in the user arpeggios menu, what is the function of arp track 2 and 3 etc.

How do you get a step sequencer like keystep? Memorize a series of bass notes that play as a sequence following the pitch?

Cool post Yamaha i am on it !!

How do you edit an arpeggio you created?

Boa tarde. Muito obrigado pelo seu vídeo, seria possível fazer a mesma coisa , mas com 4 canais? 4 instrumentos diferentes? Obrigado Cumprimentos

Would love to know whether you can create an arpeggio using a DAW then import it into the ModX / Montage.

I need help with the following question in Montage: I created a user arpeggio in the range of 2 octaves, with the sequence C3-E3-G3-C4-G4-C4-G3-E3. But what I want is that, when assigning this arp in a performance, the sequence is triggered when I play only the chord (C-E-G), like what we do on arranger keyboards. For me it's not working, because the sequence only sounds correctly if I play exactly all 8 notes that make up the sequence, in the range of octaves. If I play the chord in its triad, only the three notes played sound, repeating the last one until completing the number of notes recorded in the arpeggiator. Is there any way to resolve this?

This video shows how to create what I was taught to be an ostinato - a repeated rhythmic pattern. I would like to play live a simple eighth-note broken chord arpeggio: C - E - G - C. Is that possible on a MODX?

Great video. Do you know how to create a more complex arpeggio? I'm trying to create the arpeggio from radio gaga and it plays octave notes over a span of 3 octaves. When I store my pattern as a user arp and assign it to a part and then press a single root note of the arpeggio plays the full pattern but only uses the 1 note from the first octave and notes from the 3 octaves

how do you speed up arps?

i have done everything as you do here but it wont play...press arp button and no sound...im on latest firmware on modx...any help???

A song from Scandal called 'Goodbye To You' has a beginning bass sequence with the following chords (Am, D, F#, E). I need to make that into a sequence or a arpeggio where I can either hold the chord (preferred) or at least one key. Any idea how to do this?

“Press Record, then Play, then play along to the click” Except there’s no click, but it still records. How do I get the click?

This did not work for me. When I turn Arp On and hold a key note it plays the same note over and over again. It only plays the notes I recorded when I hit the play button. Why doesn't this work for me?

Good old Yamaha, 8 simple clicks and you're there.....Roland is so much simpler IMHO.

Yeah, not exactly. My menu even looks different. Anyway, It wont save the whole arp and its an octave low. It has notes chopped off the bottom and raising the pitch makes it worse. I have notes go missing in the sequence. Been at this for days with every video and manual possible. same result. The recording is there and it plays fine. When I store it, it goes haywire as described. No wonder people are demanding the old layouts.

Can anyone help? I've been looking for hours for just basic arpeggio functions - up, up and down, etc, but all they have on my MODX it seems are complicated patterns. All I want is a basic up and down repeating pattern, and I can't figure out how to program it. For how much I paid, you'd think these basic patterns would be easy to find.

I'm missing the "simple" part of this

Rather than just telling which keys to press, please explain why those are the steps and how the different concepts are related.

Yamaha Been looking after your money for over 100 years 🤣

I'm waiting for when things are made more complicated, because this is just too easy! NOT!

I regreted so much that i bought it...Omg, a single ARP recall is impossible...a single definition of what is what is totally unclear...jumping to some other menu, and you lost your whole day job..no warnings at all..i am so dissapopinted that i am really thinking to send it back...this is a nightmare.. it can be true, that engineers were hardly working on it, but i bet, not a single musician was around..guys, unless you are an absoulte expert on synthsm and you have nerves from iron, DONT BUY IT
