Play a chord.

XP-30 will play an arpeggio, according to the notes forming the chord you

have just voiced.

Continue holding down [ARPEGGIO], and the ARP SELECT

display will appear.

In this page you can change the Style, Accent Rate, Octave Range and

Tempo of the arpeggio. Here’s how to change the Style.

Hold down [ARPEGGIO], and press [] or [] to move the cursor (underline) to the Style parameter. Then rotate the VALUE dial to select various settings.

Depending on the value you enter, the way arpeggios play will vary.

Hold down [ARPEGGIO] and press [TRANSPOSE]. The [ARPEGGIO] indicator will begin blinking, and the arpeggio will continue sounding even after you take your hand off the keyboard (Hold).

To stop the arpeggio from being sounded by the Hold function, hold down [ARPEGGIO] again and press [TRANSPOSE]. The indicator changes from blinking to lit.

To finish playing arpeggios, press [ARPEGGIO] again so the

indicator turns off.

For details regarding

playing arpeggios, refer to

“Playing an Arpeggio”

(p. 56) and “Arpeggio

Settings (ARPEGGIO)”

(p. 108).
