Briefly hold the Arpeggiator switch down to latch arpeggiated notes. (The light 
will blink when latched.) Playing additional notes while latched adds them to the 
notes already playing. 
The Arpeggiator can also be latched with a footswitch connected to the Sustain 
jack. See “Sustain” in Global Parameters on page 7. 
Note: You can only have any specific key play one time in the arpeggio. 
That is, if you are latching keys, and hit the same note twice, it will only 
latch the most recent hit.
