Arpeggio

Quick Start Guide (page 91) · Reference (page 128)

This function automatically triggers preset arpeggio phrases, according to the keys you play.

The Arpeggio function is particularly suited to dance/ techno music genres. You can assign the desired Arpeggio Types to each Voice/Performance, and adjust the tempo. You can also set the Arpeggio playback method, Velocity range and Play Effects to create your own original grooves. What’s more, Arpeggio playback can be transmitted through the MIDI Out.

Song/Pattern and Arpeggio■Recording Arpeggios to a Song/Pattern

You can record Arpeggio data to a Song or Pattern. The actual note data of the Arpeggio is recorded as is to a specific track in the Song/Pattern during recording, when you set Arpeggio Record to ON.

■Arpeggio on/off during Song/Pattern playback

Also, Arpeggio On/Off can be set individually for each part of a Song/Pattern. Just like playing Arpeggios manually from the keyboard, this inserts Arpeggios in the playback of Song/Pattern sequence data.
