Using knobs 1–4 to control the
arpeggiator
• You can control the arpeggiator by pressing the SELECT
button to select ARP and then turning knobs 1–4.
Adjusting the duration of the arpeggiated
notes: GATE
• Turn knob 1 to adjust the duration of the
arpeggiated notes.
Rotating the knob toward the left will shorten the
duration of the notes, and rotating it toward the
right will lengthen the duration of the notes. At the
center position (12 o’clock), the note length will be
as specified by the program parameter: Gate (Prog
P7: ARP/DT– ARP Setup page).
Note: The knob setting is saved when you write each
program.
Note: It is effective to use the SELECT button to select
TONE, and then adjust knob 4 (RELEASE).
Changing the dynamics of the arpeggiated
notes: VELOCITY
• Turn knob 2 to adjust the dynamics of the
arpeggiated notes.
Turning the knob toward the left will make the
notes softer, and turning it toward the right will
make the notes stronger. When the knob is in the
center position (12 o’clock), the value of the pro-
gram parameter Velocity (Prog P7: ARP/DT– Arp
Setup page) will be used.
Note: The state of the knob is saved when you write
the program.
Note: It is effective to use the SELECT button to select
TONE, and then adjust knobs 1 (CUTOFF), 2
(RESONANCE), and 3 (EG INT).
Adding a shuffle feel to the arpeggio pattern:
SWING
• If you turn knob 3, the timing of the arpeggiated
notes on even-numbered beats will be shifted
forward or backward.
Turning the knob toward the left will speed up the
timing of the even-numbered beats. When the knob
is in the center position (12 o’clock), the timing will
be as specified by the program parameter Swing
(Global P6: Arpeggio Pattern- Setup page).
Changing the number of steps in the
arpeggio pattern: STEP
• By turning knob 4 (STEP), you can change the
number of steps in the arpeggio pattern.
Turning the knob toward the left will shorten the
pattern length (“Length”) by half. Turning the knob
toward the right will shorten the interval of the
arpeggiated notes (“Resolution”) by half. When the
knob is in the center position (12 o’clock), the pat-
tern will be as specified by the parameters Length
and Resolution (Global P6: Arpeggio Pattern–
Setup page).
The preset arpeggio patterns P0-P4 can not change
the parameters SWING and Length.
Note: The state of the knobs is saved when you write
the program.
Note: Depending on the program that’s selected, using
knob 4 may not produce any effect.
