Keyboard Part Eects
• Step
Step arpeggios are template-based arpeggios which follow complex rules.
With this type of arpeggio, the system will number all the keys you play according to pitch (from low to high) or the
order you played them. It will play sequential patterns based on rhythm, key rules, pitch shift and other parameters.
• Phrase
Phrase arpeggios generally have an obvious rhythm or melody. With this type of arpeggio, a phrase will be triggered
based on the key you currently playing.
Arpeggio Parameters
This section will explain the Arpeggio parameters and their settings.
1. Basic Parameters
Rate The Rate parameter is used to adjust the arpeggio tempo. This parameter is related to the current system
tempo.
The adjustable values are: 1/4, 1/4 triplet, 1/8, 1/8 triplet, 1/16, 1/16 triplet. When the value is set to 1/4,
the current arpeggio plays quarter notes as the minimum unit, based on the current system tempo.
Length Used to limit the number of minimum units. The range is 1~64 and Auto. Arpeggios can support up to 64
minimum units. When the Length value reaches the upper limit in an arpeggio loop, it is then forced back
to the rst step.
When the parameter is set to Auto, arpeggios are played according to the number of notes that you actu-
ally play or according to the arpeggio’s pattern.
Gate Used to adjust the length of each tone in the arpeggio. The Gate range is 1% ~ 100%. At the highest,
every sound in the arpeggio is played continuously. As the Gate value lowers, the sounds become shorter.
Swing Swing is used to add a swaying eect to the arpeggios. Swing range is from 50% to 75%. 50% indicates
that there is no Swing eect. The larger the value, the greater the Swing range, and as the value is set
higher, the Swing eect becomes more obvious.
