Creating a Patch

Shuffle Rate (Arpeggio Shuffle Rate)

This setting lets you modify the note timing to create shuffle 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” (shuffle) feel.

Value: 0–100%

	Shuffle Rate = 50%				Shuffle Rate = 90%
50		50	50	50	90	10	90	10

Shuffle Resolution (Arpeggio Shuffle Resolution)

Specify the timing resolution in terms of a note value. The note value can be specified as either an 16th note or a eighth note.

Value: ,

Keyboard Velocity (Arpeggio Keyboard Velocity)

Specifies 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 fixed velocity regardless of how strongly you play the keyboard, set this parameter to the desired value (1– 127).

Value: REAL, 1–127

Octave Range (Arpeggio Octave Range)

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.

Value: -3– +3

Key Trigger (Arpeggio Key Trigger)

Turn this “ON” if you want the arpeggio to start at the moment that you press the key. If you want the arpeggio to start playing in synchronization with the sequencer or rhythm pattern, turn this “OFF.”

Value: OFF, ON
