Owner`s manual

By using the arpeggiator, you can produce an arpeg-
gio (broken chord) simply by holding down the chord.
For example, if you hold down a C major chord as fol-
lows, an arpeggio of C3, E3, G3, E3, C3, E3, G3.... will
be played.
In the case of
Arpeggio Style: 1/4
Octave Range: 0
fig.5-1
Playing an Arpeggio
1. Make sure that both the [PTN CALL] and

fig.5-2

gio.
3. Press ARPEGGIATOR [ON].
The indicator will light, and the arpeggiator will be
turned on.
fig.5-3
4. Play the keyboard pad, and the notes will
be played as an arpeggio by the selected
part.
If a MIDI keyboard is connected, you can play it to
produce arpeggios using the sound of the part which
was selected by the PART button.
* The tempo of the arpeggio will be synchronized to the
tempo of the pattern. If you wish to change the speed of
the arpeggio, change the tempo of the pattern.

Arpeggio hold
If you press [HOLD] to make the indicator light, the
arpeggio will continue playing even after you take
your hand off of the keyboard pads. If you play a dif-
ferent chord or key while the arpeggio is being held,
the arpeggio will change accordingly.
You can also connect a pedal switch (optional: DP-2,
DP-6, FS-5U etc.) and set the System parameter ÒPedal
AssignÓ to ÒHOLDÓ so that the pedal switch will hold
the arpeggio in the same way.

Creating an Arpeggio
Pattern
When you wish to make arpeggiator settings, you will
first select an Arpeggio Style. When you select a style,
optimal values will be set for the four parameters
ÒAccent Rate,Ó ÒMotif,Ó ÒBeat Pattern,Ó and ÒShuffle
Rate.Ó You can adjust parameters such as Accent Rate
and Octave Range to modify the pattern to your taste.
If this is not enough, you can also make more detailed
settings.
☞ ÒMaking More Detailed SettingsÓ (p. 107)
The arpeggiator settings you modify can be stored as a
User Style.
☞ ÒSaving Arpeggio Settings That You Have
Modified (Arpeggio Write)Ó (p. 108)
* The settings which can be made for ÒBeat PatternÓ will
depend on the selected style.
