Parameter Value Explanation
Style
P001–P128,
U001–U016
Species the basic way in which the
arpeggio will be played.
MEMO

arpeggio user style. For details, refer to
“Importing a Computer SMF File into
an Arpeggio Style (Import SMF)” (p.34).
Hold OFF, ON Turn the hold function on/o (p. 42).
Variation 1–
The arpeggiator provides several variations
(performance patterns) for each arpeggio
style. This parameter selects the variation
number. The number of variations will dier
according to the arpeggio style.
Motif
Sets the order in which notes of the chord will sound.
UP
Notes you press will be sounded, from low
to high.
DOWN
Notes you press will be sounded, from high
to low.
UP&DOWN
Notes you press will be sounded, from low
to high, and then back down from high
to low.
RANDOM
Notes you press will be sounded, in random
order.
NOTE_ORDER
Notes you press will be sounded in the
order in which you pressed them. By
pressing the notes in the appropriate order
you can produce melody lines. Up to 128
notes will be remembered.
GLISSANDO
Each chromatic step between the highest
and lowest notes you press will sound
in succession, repeating upward and
downward. Press only the lowest and the
highest notes.
CHORD
All notes you press will sound
simultaneously.
AUTO1
The timing at which keys will sound will be
assigned automatically, giving priority to
the lowest key that was pressed.
AUTO2
The timing at which keys will sound will be
assigned automatically, giving priority to
the highest key that was pressed.
PHRASE
Pressing a single key will sound the phrase
based on the pitch of that key. If multiple
keys are pressed, the last-pressed key will
be valid.
Keyboard
Velocity
REAL,
1–127
Species the loudness of the notes that
you play. If you want the velocity value of
each note to depend on how strongly you
play the keyboard, set this parameter to
“REAL.” If you want each note to have a
xed velocity regardless of how strongly
you play the keyboard, set this parameter
to the desired value (1–127).
Parameter Value Explanation
Octave
Range
-3–+3
Sets the key range in octaves over which
arpeggio will take place. If you want the
arpeggio to sound using only the notes
that you actually play, set this parameter to
“0.” To have the arpeggio sound using the
notes you play and notes 1 octave higher,
set this parameter to “+1.” A setting of “-1”
will make the arpeggio sound using the
notes you play and notes 1 octave lower.
Accent Rate 0–100 %
Modies the strength of accents and the
length of the notes to adjust the “groove”
feel of the arpeggio. A setting of “100 %”
will produce the most pronounced groove
feel.
Shue Rate 0–100 %
This setting lets you modify the note timing
to create shue rhythms. With a setting of
“50 %” the notes will be spaced evenly. As
the value is increased, the note timing will
have more of a “dotted” (shue) feel.

Shue
Resolution
,
Species the timing (as a note value) at
which the notes will be heard.
The note value can be specied as either a
sixteenth note or an eighth note.
