Yamaha KX25 Manuel D’Utilisation

Try playing the keyboard on the KX to hear the 
sound of “RockSt2” selected in step 4 on the 
previous page. Depending on the pressed note, a 
different instrument’s sound will be played back, 
allowing you to play your own rhythm pattern in real 
time by pressing various notes rhythmically. 

 

 

The Arpeggio feature is a powerful tool for both 
real-time performance and recording. It lets you 
easily play (in many cases, with just a single finger) 
a wide variety of specially programmed rhythm 
patterns, riffs and phrases using the currently 
selected instrument on the computer.
This section shows you how to play Arpeggios by 
using “RockSt2” selected in step 4 on the previous 
page. You can hear the rhythm pattern play back 
automatically. 

Press a single note on the keyboard. 
The Arpeggio (rhythm pattern) starts just by 
playing a single note with one finger. 

NOTE

By pressing the [OCTAVE] button and 
playing in the same octave area as before, 
you can call up a completely different set of 
drum sounds. Try shifting the octave setting 
and call up your favorite drum instruments 
and percussion sounds. To reset the octave 
to the default status, press both [OCTAVE] 
buttons simultaneously. For details about 
the [OCTAVE] buttons, see page 27. 

NOTE

The Arpeggio plays back according to the 
internal tempo set in the Utility display 
(page 36) or the external tempo set on the 
DAW software depending on the current 
status. For details, see page 32.
