20.ARPEG. B — SYNTH/VOCODER

Here you can make additional arpeggio-related settings. "LAST STEP" (knob 4 ) sets the number of steps in the arpeggio. "LATCH" (knob 1 ) specifies how the arpeggiator will operate when you release the keyboard, "SWING" (knob 2 ) adjusts the sense of swing, and "KEY SYNC" (knob 3 ) specifies how the arpeggiator will be synchronized to the keyboard. In addition, "TARGET TIMBRE" (knob 5 ) specifies which timbre(s) of a Layer synth program will be sounded by the arpeggiator.

LATCH

[OFF, ON]

Specifies how the arpeggiator will operate when you take your hand off of the keyboard.

OFF ():

The arpeggiator will stop playing when you take your hand off of the keyboard.

ON ():

The arpeggiator will continue play- ing even if you take your hand off of the keyboard.

SWING[-100...100]

Specifies the percentage (%) by which even-numbered notes of the arpeggio will be shifted in timing relative to the first note.

KEY SYNC

[OFF, ON]

Specifies whether the arpeggiator will be synchronized to the key- board.

If this is ON, the arpeggiator will always start from the beginning of the arpeggio pattern when you play the keyboard. If you are perform- ing together with other instru- ments, you can use this function to ensure that the arpeggio pattern is aligned with the beginning of the measure.

OFF ():

Sync off (not synchronized).

ON ():

Sync on (synchronized).
