Creating a Patch

Arpeggio

Arpeggio Switch ◆

Switches the Arpeggiator on/off.

Value: OFF, ON

Patch Tempo ◆

Specify the tempo of an arpeggio. When Clock Source parameter (p. 75) is set to “INTERNAL,” this setting value is effective.

Value: 20.0–250.0

Hold (Arpeggio Hold Switch) ◆

Switch between Hold On/Hold Off for the Arpeggiator

performance.

Value: OFF, ON

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

Pattern Edit

Press this when you want to create an original arpeggio pattern.

For details on creating an arpeggio pattern, refer to “Creating an Original Arpeggio Pattern (Pattern Edit)” (p. 25).

KBD Velo (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

Duration (Arpeggio Duration)

Modifies 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%

Motif (Arpeggio Motif)

Sets the order in which notes of the chord will sound.

Value

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.

RHYTHM: Unlike a conventional arpeggio, the notes that you specified when inputting the pattern will always sound. The keys that you press while performing will not affect the result; the specified pattern will play regardless of the pitch of the keys you play. This is suitable for playing a drum patch (p. 53).

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.

AUTO: The timing at which the keys are sounded is assigned automatically, starting at the lowest key that you pressed.

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: ,
