Arpeggio Playback Types
The Arpeggio playback features three main playback types as described below.
Arpeggio types (belonging to the categories except for the DrPC and Cntr) created for use of Normal
Voices have the following three playback types.
Playback only of the played notes
The Arpeggio is played back using only the played note and its octave notes.
Playback of a programmed sequence according to the played notes
These Arpeggio types have the several sequences each of which is suited for a certain chord type.
Even if you press only one note, the Arpeggio is played back using the programmed sequence—
meaning that notes other than the ones you play may be sounded. Pressing another note triggers the
transposed sequence regarding the pressed note as a root note. Adding notes to those already held
changes the sequence accordingly. An Arpeggio with such a playback type has “_ES” at the end of the
type name.
Playback of a programmed sequence according to the played chord
These Arpeggio types created for use with Normal Voices are played back to match the chord type
determined by detecting the notes you play on the keyboard. An Arpeggio with such a playback type
has “_XS” at the end of the type name.
NOTE
When the Key Mode parameter is set to “sort” or “sort+direct,” the same sequence is played back no matter
what order you play the notes. When the Key Mode parameter is set to “thru” or “thru+direct,” a different
sequence is played back depending on the order you play the notes.
NOTE Since these types are programmed for Normal Voices, using them with Drum Voices may not give musically
appropriate results.
These arpeggio types are programmed specifically for use with Drum Voices, giving you instant access
to various rhythm patterns. Three different playback types are available.
Playback of a drum pattern
Pressing any note(s) will trigger the same rhythm pattern.
Playback of a drum pattern, plus additional played notes (assigned drum
instruments)
Pressing any note will trigger the same rhythm pattern. Adding notes to the one already held produces
additional sounds (assigned drum instruments) for the drum pattern.
Playback only of the played notes (assigned drum instruments)
Playing a note or notes will trigger a rhythm pattern using only the notes played (assigned drum
instruments). Adding notes to the one already held produces additional sounds (assigned drum
instruments) for the drum pattern. Keep in mind that even if you play the same notes, the triggered
rhythm pattern differs depending on the order of the notes played. This gives you access to different
rhythm patterns using the same instruments simply by changing the order in which you play the notes
when the Key Mode parameter is set to “thru” or “thru+direct.”
NOTE
The three playback types above are not distinguished by category name or type name. You’ll have to actually
play the types and hear the difference.
NOTE Since these types are programmed for Drum Voices, using them with Normal Voices may not give musically
appropriate results.
