Harmony / Arpeggio Settings
Synchronizing an Arpeggio to
Song/Style/Groove Playback
(Arpeggio Quantize)
When you play the keyboard to trigger an Arpeggio
along with Song/ Style/Groove playback, you’ll need
to play the notes with accurate timing to keep the
Arpeggio in synchronization with the other playback
tracks. However, since your actual timing may be
slightly ahead of or behind the beat (or both), you
can use the “Arpeggio Quantize” function here to cor-
rect any slight imperfections in the timing (according
to the three settings below), to ensure appropriate
Arpeggio playback.
• OFF: No synchronization
• 1/8: Synchronizes to 8th notes
• 1/16: Synchronizes to quarter notes
When you select an Arpeggio Type, one of the
options above is selected automatically. However,
the settings is changeable.
