About the Arpeggio type list

NOTE Note that this list is for illustration purposes only. For a complete listing of the Arpeggio Types, see the “Data List” PDF

document.

1 Category

4 Time Signature

5 Length

selecting an Arpeggio type.

7 Accent

The circle indicates that the Arpeggio uses the Accent Phrase feature (see below).

8 Note/Chord

Indicates the Arpeggio playback type. “N (Note)” indicates that the playback method differs according to the

number of notes or the intervals between them. “C (Chord)” indicates that chords are detected from note data

played on the keyboard, and Arpeggio playback then changes with the chords. Blank cells indicate Arpeggios for

Drum Voices (page 15) or Arpeggios containing mainly controller information (page 15).

Arpeggio playback types

Turning Arpeggio playback on/off

The following two settings are available for turning Arpeggio playback on/off.

NOTE For information on the displays including the “Hold” parameters, see Arp Select display (page 49).

NOTE When “Switch (Arpeggio Switch)” is set to “on,” you can use a damper pedal switch (sending MIDI sustain messages; control

change #64) to perform the same function as setting “Hold” to “on.”

Accent Phrase

Accent Phrases are composed of sequence data included in some Arpeggio types, sounding only when you play notes

at a high (strong) velocity. For information on Arpeggio types that use this function, refer to the “Arpeggio Type List” in

the “Data List” PDF document.

To continue playing an Arpeggio only by pressing and holding a note: Set the “Hold” parameter to “off.”

To continue playing an Arpeggio even when a note is released: Set the “Hold” parameter to “on.”
