Speci es the basic way in which the arpeggio
will be played.
MEMO
You can create your own original Arpeggio
Style by importing SMF or phrase data into
an arpeggio user style. For details, refer to
“Importing SMF on Your Computer to an
Arpeggio Style” (p. 33).
Variation 1–
The arpeggiator provides several variations
(performance patterns) for each arpeggio style.
This parameter selects the variation number.
The number of variations will di er according
to the arpeggio style.
Motif
Sets the order in which notes of the chord will sound.
UP Notes you press will be sounded, beginning
from low to high.
DOWN Notes you press will be sounded, from high
to low.
UP&DOWN Notes you press will be sounded, from low to
high, and then back down from high to low.
RANDOM Notes you press will be sounded, in random
order.
NOTE_ORDER
Notes you press will be sounded in the order
in which you pressed them. By pressing
the notes in the appropriate order you can
produce melody lines. Up to 128 notes will be
remembered.
GLISSANDO
Each chromatic step between the highest and
lowest notes you press will sound in succession,
repeating upward and downward. Press only
the lowest and the highest notes.
CHORD All notes you press will sound simultaneously.
AUTO1
The timing at which keys will sound will be
assigned automatically, giving priority to the
lowest key that was pressed.
AUTO2
The timing at which keys will sound will be
assigned automatically, giving priority to the
highest key that was pressed.
PHRASE
Pressing a single key will sound the phrase
based on the pitch of that key. If multiple keys
are pressed, the last-pressed key will be valid.
Velocity REAL, 1–127
Speci es the loudness of the notes that you
play. If you want the velocity value of each
note to depend on how strongly you play the
keyboard, set this parameter to “REAL.” If you
want each note to have a  xed velocity regard-
less of how strongly you play the keyboard, set
this parameter to the desired value (1–127).
Oct.Range -3–+3
Sets the key range in octaves over which
arpeggio will take place. If you want the
arpeggio to sound using only the notes that
you actually play, set this parameter to “0.”
To have the arpeggio sound using the notes
you play and notes 1 octave higher, set this
parameter to “+1.” A setting of “-1” will make the
arpeggio sound using the notes you play and
notes 1 octave lower.
Accent 0–100%
Modi es the strength of accents and the length
of the notes to adjust the “groove” feel of the
arpeggio. A setting of “100%” will produce the
most pronounced groove feel.
Shu..e.Rate 0–100%
This setting lets you modify the note timing to
create shu e rhythms. With a setting of “50%”
the notes will be spaced evenly. As the value is
increased, the note timing will have more of a
“dotted” (shu e) feel.
Shu..e.
Resolution 16, 8
This setting lets you modify the note timing to
create shu e rhythms. With a setting of “50%”
the notes will be spaced evenly. As the value is
increased, the note timing will have more of a
“dotted” (shu e) feel.
