getting the hang of appegiators

[jkwheel]

OKay so I am fairly proficient manually playing, but I just can't seem to figure out how to effectively use the arpeggiators. Is there somewhere to figure this out. I mean I have been playing for a while and striking out on my own I am having zero success. Any ideas or references? Help!!

Great question. KARMA for example looks easy to use but what about intergration
into your own songs as aposed to the ARP being the song. Hmm.... If that makes sence. Let alone progaming on the fly.

Using the Kurzweil K2600, it was easiest just to fool around with the available presets. Play around with the options and settings to vary the effect. But, noteshift and shift limits can get real tricky, even learning how to control tempo with a foot-pedal.

The k2600 has a preset with an arpeggio to mimic The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again". It's fantastic.

For my playing use, I pretty much use the arpeggio as a Tacet effect, to simulate playing sequenced chords repeatedly.

I would just mess around with the presets and try shifting the notes you are holding down at different times.

As far as integrating them with your music, that is up to your creativity.
