Korg 2E ii User Manual

This instrument’s Sequencer mode provides an RPPR 
(Realtime Pattern Play/Recording) function

.

Using the RPPR function, each note of the keyboard 
can be assigned to a preset pattern or user pattern and 
a track that will play the assigned pattern. You can 
then playback the assigned pattern in realtime (and 
record it, if desired) simply by playing a note. (Preset 
patterns suitable for playing by the drum track are 
already provided in internal memory.)

Here we will explain how to play a demo song using 
the RPPR function.

1 Load the demo song data as described in “Loading 

2 Press the [SEQ] key (the key will light) to enter 

3 In “Song Select,” select 001:Midnight Sun.

Select the song as described in “Selecting and play-
ing a demo song in Sequencer mode” (

4 Make sure that the RPPR check box is checked.

 The specified RPPR (set in SEQ 5.1:PPPR, 

RPPR Setup) will function.
Unchecked:

 RPPR will not function. Operation will 

be as in normal Sequencer mode.

5 Press a key.

The pattern assigned to that key will playback.
In some cases, the pattern will continue playing 
after you release your hand from the keyboard. You 
can stop playback either by pressing that key once 
again, or by pressing a key in the area of C2 or 
below.

When you play a key in the range of C–1 – C2, the cur-
rently-playing pattern will stop.

A pattern and track can be assigned to each of the 72 
keys in the range of C#2–C8. If you do not assign a key, 
it can be used to play as usual.

As in the example shown in the following diagram, 
you can make one key play a drums pattern, another 
key a bass phrase, and yet another key play guitar 
chords, all by specifying a different pattern and track 
for each key.
