Step type

Step number

•While [TYPE] is selected, use the eo minus (–)and plus (+) buttons to cycle the TYPE setting between off (Off), on (TYPE) and tie* (TIE). Note, however, that “STEP 01” does not have a TIE option.

*Selecting TIE extends the duration of the previous step by one step. It can be used to extend the duration of notes.

•NOTE and VELO settings cannot be configured for a step whose TYPE setting is Off or TIE.

•The table below shows the settings on the arpeggio step editing menu.
