Arpeggio grid and rhythm patterns linked?

Post by pita bread »

Hello- new here!

I was wondering if the Juno Di's arpeggio grid is linked to the rhythm pattern function (from the Song Player)?

For example, for a basic drum pattern, I do the following:
-- at any given tempo, let's say quarter = 120
-- hit rhythm pattern, use the first preset "Pop 1"
-- this gives me a nice rhythm in 8th notes on the bass and snare drums

Then I try to add a bassline using the arpeggio to repeat single 8th notes using the following:
-- using the first setting when you press "arpeggio"
-- scroll down to "Grid"
-- default is 1/16 and this is playing 16th notes, too fast for what I'm doing
-- switch grid to 1/8
-- this gives me a nice repeated note bassline in 8th notes at 120bpm

However, when I hit "rhythm pattern" now, this happens:
-- the drums now play at half tempo... quarter notes instead of 8th notes
-- also, additional drums are somehow being trigged, so tomtoms and whatnot will start cascading at 8th note... totally not the simple beat I'm looking for anymore...

Any way to work around this?

My background is in classical organ and piano. I'm pretty new to synthesizer functions so please bear with me. Would appreciate any help, thank you!
