Miqqq1 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 So I am a keyboard player from years gone by. Been playing guitar for the last 15 years but have now formed a band where keyboard is necessary. I purchased a MOX8 this week and it is NOT intuitive to me at all so far as creating custom arpeggios. I simply wanted to recreate and store an arpeggio from The Who song Baba O'Riley...simple enough I thought....I cant figure this thing out. ANY help, advice or links to help would be greatly appreciated!!!! Have a great one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesG Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I don't know anything about arpeggiators, but I can tell you that Baba O'Reilly was played on a Lowery Berkshire TLO-1 (I think) organ, using the Marimba Repeat feature. This feature causes certain notes to be repeated on the first and third 1/16th notes of the beat, while other notes are repeated on the second and fourth 1/16th notes of the beat. This is you get the bliddle-iddle-eep sounds in there. Pete is playing something quite simple, maybe just quarter notes, I think 1-5-8-5 of the chord.

Miqqq1 Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 You are correct. Your reply led me to read some good articles. So am I mistaken in trying to recreate this with the arpeggio function? Sequencer maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesG Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 The closest I have come myself is using the repeat feature on my DGX-620 and playing the off-notes 1/16th "late". This has the advantage of being able to sway in tempo 3-5bpm without being noticeable, so band-sync is very good, but the disadvantage that it loses the robotic accuracy which I think is a signature part of that sound. I never tried using a sequencer for this. Presumably you could just data-enter the entire part into a computer and play it back with one, but that's just not my style.

Miqqq1 Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 Yeah, I'm def not into PC sequencing either. I would much rather learn how to perform this task directly from the MOX8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
