For a phrase template, this setting will be “PHRASE.”

Accent Rate (Arpeggio Accent Rate)

Modifies 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.

Value: 0–100%

Shuf 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%

Shuf Resolution (Arpeggio Shuffle Resolution)

A “shuffle” feel is produced by delaying the even-numbered beats (beats 2, 4, 6,...). You can select either 16th notes or 8th notes to be affected by this delay.

Value: ,

Hold (Arpeggio Hold Switch)

Switch between Hold On/Hold Off for the Arpeggiator performance.

Value:

OFF, ON

Kbd Velocity (Arpeggio Keyboard Velocity)

Specifies the loudness of the notes that you play.

If you want the velocity value of each note to vary depending 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 Rhythm guide or the external sequencer, turn this “OFF.”

Value:

OFF, ON
