Arpeggio pattern is only playing the "zero" notes

[jm302music]

Greetings, Korg fans!

Working on another 80s tune and ran into another arpeggiator issue. I'm trying to build an arp pattern to play the synth bass part from the Scandal song "Goodbye To You". In the song, that part consists of a fairly simple pattern of playing these scale notes - 1-1-5-1-8-1-5-8.

So, in the software editor, I've created an arp pattern that appears to perfectly capture that pattern from the song. My arp pattern consists of 8 steps and I've set these offsets:

Step 1: 0
Step 2: 0
Step 3: 6
Step 4: 0
Step 5: 11
Step 6: 0
Step 7: 6
Step 8: 11

When I strike a key, the pattern plays for the right length. That is, it's stepping through all 8 steps. The only problem is that I'm hearing only the "0 offset" or the key I played, not the higher notes in the pattern.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi
You may have fixed your problem already, but I have a similar issue but in trying to resolve mine I created what I think you're trying to create. I created a series of steps, but kept the tone for each step at zero. I then altered the pitch offset of each tone to create the melody (page 101, top right in manual). When I input what I thought were different tones directly with the numeric tone value, the same note was played throughout the steps. My problem is trying to create a chord for a single step. Only the single tone is played. I can't adjust the tone offset for multiple tones within the same step, so can't figure it out. I've just posted within the forum to see if someone can help.
