Playing arpeggios
The arpeggiator is a function that automatically plays a broken
chord (arpeggio) when you hold down a chord on the keyboard. The
KingKORG NEO's arpeggiator provides six arpeggio types, and
allows you to change various aspects of the arpeggio, such as the
duration (gate time) of the notes. It also provides a "step
arpeggiator" that lets you specify the on/off status for up to eight
steps, giving you a wide range of performance possibilities.
1.
Select a program. (OM: p.14 "Selecting a program")
As an example, let's select a piano sound to try out this function.
2.
Press the ARP (TEMPO) button to make it light up.
The arpeggiator will turn on.
3.
Hold down a chord on the keyboard; an arpeggio will start
playing.
If you hold down the chord shown in the illustration below, the
notes will be sounded as depicted by the notation at the right.
(Arpeggio type: UP)
To change the tempo, hold down the SHIFT/EXIT button and
press the ARP (TEMPO) button to access the PROGRAM "a02:
Arp" page. Use the value dial to adjust the tempo.
TIP: The KingKORG NEO provides a tap tempo function. Hold
down the SHIFT/EXIT button and repeatedly press the ARP
(TEMPO) button at the desired timing interval to set the
tempo.

The arpeggio will stop sounding when you take your hand off
the keys.

eters")
Playing vocoder sounds
The vocoder is a function that lets you vocalize into a mic while
holding down notes on the keyboard to create the impression that
the synthesizer is talking. As an alternative to inputting a human
voice, you can create many interesting effects by inputting rhythm
sounds or various waveforms.
Connecting a mic and playing the vocoder
1.
Turn the front panel MIC LEVEL knob all the way to the left.
Connect the mic to the front panel mic jack.
2.
Press the PROGRAM (GLOBAL) button to make it light up.
3.
Press the category/favorites SE/VOC button to make it light
up, and then turn the value dial to select a program (sound) for
which the VOCODER button is lit up.
4.
Turn the MIC LEVEL knob to adjust the mic input level.
TIP: Adjust the level so that the MIC LEVEL PEAK LED does
not light up.
5.
While vocalizing into the mic, play the keyboard.
Try vocalizing different words and holding down different notes
on the keyboard, and notice the effect that this has on the
vocoder sound.
